Northern Nights Songtext
von Jerusalem

Used to drink in Rose Street
Pick up girls in the Café Royale
Girls to give you the shivers
Girls to make your blood boil
Arthur′s Seat at sunrise
Still stoned from the night before
Listening to The Soft Parade
Whilst tripping on Harry's floor

Chess pieces made of china
Poems made of blood and guts
Acting ′til we all won Oscars
Otis Blue in vinyl ruts
Steam filled rolls from the bakers
Walking through the biting cold
Now all those northern nights
Seem a hundred years ago


But here we are
All stretched out in a stretch limo car
But we're not so far
From all those northern nights
Those wonderful delights
All those northern nights

Do you still remember me
'Cause I still remember you
Don′t let me walk on by
If I don′t catch your eye
Don'tcha walk on by - no no
Hey, are you listening
Why don′tcha just stop
Turn around! Talk

Overcoats down to the ankles
Hats jammed on our frozen heads
Humming The Layers Of The Onion
Fine tuning the North's finest in bed
Gavin daubs a C.N.D. slogan
High up on the Castle rock
Laughing ′til we got the munchies
Spreadeagled with chastity unlocked


Yeah, here we are
All chewed up in a big Jaguar
But we're not so far
From all those northern nights
Those wonderful delights
Yeah, it′s about you Edinburgh

Hey there baby
Are you on a fast train to nowhere
Stop at my station
I'll punch your ticket anytime
Wow!!
