Featuring the radges of Edinburgh. Latin beats and an alternative perspective of the city.
lyrics
Edinburgh
Edinburgh’s my home town, but it’s cold and it’s tired and the rain comes down. Edinburgh’s a painter’s dream, pretty façade ripped at the seams.
Senoritas from sleepy Spain come here to work well they must be insane (don’t they know that it’s cold, maybe nobody told)
Edinburgh the pace is slow, it’s stately and calm, it’s not Glasgow.
In the dark little closes, couples dwell.
On the quaint cobbled streets the radges yell.
Edinburgh’s a strange old place, got two sides to its public face.
Edinburgh’s got venues and clubs, cute little doggies and dodgy pubs.
Puzzled Poles in the cafes and bars laugh at the locals with our souped up cars, (going nowhere, there’s nowhere to go, traffic’s too slow)
Edinburgh is sometimes twee with its tartan and pipes but it’s not Dundee.
In the dark little closes, couples dwell
On the quaint cobbled streets the radges yell
na, na-na, na-na, na na na…
na, na-na, na-na, na na na…
Na, na na-na na…
All I ever wanted was a hand to hold
All I ever needed was some warmth in the cold.

Edinburgh’s a dear old town, fur coat nae knickers and a permanent frown.
In Edinburgh people write good books get tutts from the natives and suspicious looks.
Tourists come from far and wide, gasp at the scenery and run and hide from the townsfolk.
Edinburgh doesn’t need to impress, it’s been a city for ages, unlike Inverness.
In the dark little closes, couples dwell
On the quaint cobbled streets the radges yell
They go na, na-na, na-na, na na na…
na, na-na, na-na, na na na……
Na na na-na, na-na
