Artist: MARILLION
Title: HEART OF LOTHIAN - WIDE BOY - CURTAIN CALL
Album: MISPLACED CHILDHOOD








D) MISPLACED RENDEZVOUS

IT'S GETTING LATE
FOR SCRIBBLING AND SCRATCHING ON THE PAPER
SOMETHING'S GONNA GIVE UNDER THIS PRESSURE
AND THE CRACKS ARE ALREADY BEGINNING TO SHOW
IT'S TOO LATE
THE WEEKEND CAREER GIRL NEVER BOARDED THE PLANE
THEY SAID THIS COULD NEVER HAPPEN AGAIN
OH, SO WRONG, SO WRONG

THIS TIME IT SEEMS TO BE ANOTHER MISPLACED RENDEZVOUS
THIS TIME, IT'S LOOKING LIKE
ANOTHER MISPLACED RENDEZVOUS, WITH YOU
THE PARALLEL OF YOU, YOU

E) WINDSWEPT THUMB

ON THE OUTSKIRTS OF NOWHERE
ON THE RINGROAD TO SOMEWHERE
ON THE VERGE OF INDECISION
I'LL ALWAYS TAKE THE ROUNDABOUT WAY
WAITING ON THE RAIN
FOR I WAS BORN WITH A HABIT, FROM A SIGN
THE HABIT OF A WINDSWEPT THUMB
AND THE SIGN OF THE RAIN
RAIN ON ME, RAIN

IT'S STARTED RAINING, IT'S STARTED RAINING
IT'S STARTED RAINING, IT'S STARTED RAINING
IT'S STARTED RAINING, IT'S STARTED RAINING

A) WIDE BOY

WIDE BOYS, WIDE BOYS, WIDE BOYS
BORN WITH HEARTS OF LOTHIAN
WIDE BOYS, WIDE BOYS, BORN WITH HEARTS OF LOTHIAN
WIDE BOYS, WE WERE WIDE BOYS, BORN WITH HEARTS OF LOTHIAN
THESE HEARTS OF LOTHIAN

IT'S SIX O'CLOCK IN THE TOWER BLOCKS
THE STALAGMITES OF CULTURE SHOCK, {CULTURE SHOCK}
AND THE TRIPPERS OF THE LIGHT FANTASTIC
BOWDOWN, HOE-DOWN
SPRAY THEIR PHEREMONES 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
I WAS BORN WITH A HEART OF LOTHIAN
WITH A HEART OF LOTHIAN

B) 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
WATERING HOLES, WATERING HOLES

LET'S GO

AND THE MAN IN THE MIRROR HAS SAD EYES
