MARILLION: Heart of Lothian [Heart of Lothian (Extended Mix), Chelsea Monday (Live), Heart of Lothian]

“Heart of Lothian” is a song by British neo-progressive rock band Marillion. It is the fifth track on the 1985 concept album Misplaced Childhood. The song was released as the third single from Misplaced Childhood on 18 November 1985 in the UK, the NetherlandsWest GermanyCanada (on Capitol Records), South Africa and Australia. “Heart of Lothian” became the third Top 30 UK single from Misplaced Childhood, peaking at number 29. The song also peaked at number 51 on the German singles chart.

The single version of Heart of Lothian actually begins with the last two sections of Bitter Suite: part d, Misplaced Rendezvous (minus the vocals that appear on the album) and part e, Windswept Thumb, before segueing into part a of Heart of Lothian, Wide Boy, but ends without including part b, Curtain Call.

The 7″ and 12″ formats of the single both featured a live version of “Chelsea Monday”, originally a track from Marillion’s debut 1983 album Script for a Jester’s Tearas the b-side. This was recorded at the Muziekcentrum Vredenburg in Utrecht on 15 October 1985. The 12″ also includes the extended album version of “Heart of Lothian” as well as the single edit.

As all of Misplaced Childhood, the title track was produced by Chris Kimsey, while the live recording of “Chelsea Monday” was mixed by Mark Freegard. The cover art was designed by Mark Wilkinson and in the background features the Dugald Stewart Monument, a well-known Edinburgh landmark. There are other references to Edinburgh in the song— the title itself refers to the Heart of Midlothian, one line reads “And anarchy smiles on the Royal Mile.

Lyrics
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! {it started to rain}
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
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
I was born with a heart of lothian
I was born with a heart of lothian, with a heart of lothian.
