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
Don't know if this counts but Shake Those Windows by Athlete begins with the lyric
"Lives in Edinburgh
Just across the road"
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
We ....... Hate we ....... Hate Jam Tarts
‘Goodwill City’ by the peerless Goodbye Mr Mackenzie
Does "sunshine on Leith" count?
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!
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).
Fires of Edinburgh.... Nick keir

The OK Social Club - The Late 90s
Edinburgh Man by The Fall is the one.
Smith lived in Leith for a couple of years. Low profile!
Heart of Lothian - Marillion
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

High up on the parapet
A Scottish piper stands alone

On Charlotte Street
I take A walking stick from my hotel
What’s the one that starts “oh Edinburgh is wonderful”?
