Marillion Heart of Lothian: I. Wide Boy / II. Curtain Call song lyrics

I. Wide Boy

Wide boys, wide boys, wide boys, born with hearts of Lothian

Wide boys, we were wide boys, born with hearts of Lothian

Wide boys, we were wide boys, these hearts of Lothian

It's six o'clock in the tower blocks

Stalagmites of culture shock

And the trippers of the light fantastic, bow down, hoe-down

Spray their pheromones on this perfume uniform

And anarchy smiles in the Royal Mile

And they're waiting on the slyboys, flyboys, wideboys

Rooting, tooting cowboys

Lucky little ladies at the watering holes

They'll score the Friday night goals

I was born with a heart of Lothian

I was born with a heart of Lothian

With a heart of Lothian

I was born with a heart of Lothian, with a heart of Lothian.

II. Curtain Call

And the man from the magazine, wants another shot of you all curled up

'Cos you look like an actor in a movie shot.

But you're feeling like a wino in a parking lot

How did I get in here anyway?

Do we really need a playback of the show?

'Cos the wideboys want to head for the watering holes

Let's go

And the man in the mirror has sad eyes
