Edinburgh songs

[Hibbyradge]

I want to compile a playlist if songs about, or majorly featuring, Edinburgh.

So far I've got 3:

Edinburgh Man by The Fall

Edinburgh by The Lake Poets

Streets of Edinburgh by the twins.

What others are there? Any genre.

Edina - Blue Rose Code

[Hiber-nation]

Don't know if this counts but Shake Those Windows by Athlete begins with the lyric

"Lives in Edinburgh
Just across the road"

[MSK]

All The Little Lights - Passenger
The NWPA - The Fall
Ramblin Man -Lemon Jelly
Pigs For Slaughter - Oi Polloi
Alba -Runrig
Sawnie Bean Clan - The Real MacKenzies

[HUTCHYHIBBY]

We ....... Hate we ....... Hate Jam Tarts

[Mibbes Aye]

‘Goodwill City’ by the peerless Goodbye Mr Mackenzie

[grunt]

Does "sunshine on Leith" count?

[Hiber-nation]

Costafine Town by Splinter was about Corstorphine apparently :greengrin

Edit...I see they were from South Shields so maybe it was a wind-up....sorry!

[Pretty Boy]

Rebellion - Grave Digger

(it's probably a stretch to say it's a song about Edinburgh but the city is mentioned in a wider context, it's a song worth listening to just to tick off every metal cliche as it happens).

[Just Alf]

Fires of Edinburgh.... Nick keir

Edinburgh Man by The Fall is the one.
Smith lived in Leith for a couple of years. Low profile!

Heart of Lothian - Marillion

[Hibbyradge]

Thanks everyone. :thumbsup:

I now have an Edinburgh playlist, apart from Pigs for Slaughter which I couldn't find on Spotify.

I also spent an inordinate amount of time searching for NWPA when it's actually NWRA. :greengrin

Heart of Lothian - Marillion

Internal Exile by Fish


I saw a blue umbrella in Princes Street Gardens
Heading out west for the Lothian Road
An Evening News stuffed deep in his pocket
Wrapped up in his problems to keep away the cold



What it is by Mark Knopfler


High up on the parapet
A Scottish piper stands alone
And high on the wind
The highland drums begin to roll
and

On Charlotte Street
I take A walking stick from my hotel

What’s the one that starts “oh Edinburgh is wonderful”?

[Thief]

Not really what you're after but any excuse to dig this out. In my defence it's about Edinburgh, Leith in particular.
