Streets Of Edinburgh Lyrics - Proclaimers

Along these broken pavements 

I let my mind run free 

The past and the present 

Seem just the same to me 

The people I have loved most 

Among these stones did dwell 

And in the cleanest language 

The stories they did tell 

They pass, they pass, they pass, they pass 

The streets of Edinburgh 

Hold half the world for me 

In scores, in droves, the living and the ghosts 

The streets of Edinburgh 

Mean most to me

NEW SONG: Blink-182 - 'Happy Days' Lyrics 

Depending on your view point 

This place is blessed or cursed 

And in the years I've lived here 

I've seen the best and worst 

An air of sordid passion 

A look of dirty grace 

But not right in your face 

It's not that kind of place 

They pass, they pass, they pass, they pass 

The streets of Edinburgh 

Hold half the world for me 

In scores, in droves, the living and the ghosts 

The streets of Edinburgh 

Mean most to me 

Photos 

Down greasy potholed roadways 

I watch the traffic crawl 

But for the cars and busses 

I give no thought at all 

I think about the future 

I wonder at her health 

How with this human wealth 

She does renew herself 

They pass, they pass, they pass, they pass 

The streets of Edinburgh 

Hold half the world for me 

In scores, in droves, the living and the ghosts 

The streets of Edinburgh 

Mean most to me
