Marillion - Heart Of Lothian Lyrics

Excellent! Many thanks. 3 min 1/2 of concentrated inspiration, à la Beatles, with a Ken Loach's aftertaste!

It reminds me a bit of Tommy by the who

Fantastic album.

great to see this video again always loved steves riff on this after fishs line it. started raining thanks for this

Is it me or does the drummer look like steve hackett

Not of lot of songs Remember Me times gone like this One..oh God ...time runs!

Love iit seen them 6 times…...

Matched it! :) Forcing me to stop now, grrrreat song

This looks like the 'Sussudio' pub? Is it?

I just heard this tonight for the first time!!! Its the fact you hang on every word and line he sings because it has something to say!!! This is a brilliant album from a band vastly underrated. It is superior music the likes we will never hear again. Love the Jameson bottle on the shelf!!

2019 and still excellent 👍

White boys no more in England . this song would be illegal today .
I love this song .

White boys? I'm sure it was "wide boys"?

it is wide boys wide boys is a uk term it means someone whos full of themelves

Just the very Best .

sounds like HEART OF MIDLOTHIAN F.C

Nice cameo from John Otway at 2:50 and 3:00

doing excellent prog in 85... is really being a wide boy!

i could listen to his voice forever, but that pub crowd looks more 'new romantics' than neo prog even in '85

And also, why is there no clips on YouTube of the footage of fish introducing the videos, from the videos collection video, if u know what I mean. That was a stiff bit of Footage of the band.

Is the manager John Arnison driving the car that crashes through the shop window?

I always hear it in my mind ...when I drive through Lanarkshire into Lothian and. into Edinburgh from Glasgow

At 1:44 the car drives through my Dad's shop front.
Dad owned 62 and 64 King Henry's Walk, in Islington, London.
64 was trading at the time but 62 was being refurbished. The old shop front was demolished, rebuilt for filming, and then rebuilt properly afterwards. The ground floor was also strengthened to take the weight of the car. Bonus for Dad.
Brings back a lot of memories of that time in London.

Excellent!

Unbelievable

♥️🐟.
Merci. 🃏.

Rolig låt och bra komp i låten av dem.

Amazing Marillion!

what a beautiful song - even all these years later

What a tune! Absolute belter.

Is that Kevin Greening that gets thrown out of the pub?

1:23 YOU GUYS TOLD ME YOU WERE FIVE!

Fcuk's sake ! This video is heaven ! My favorite band, my favorite TV show Minder ?? Man, these WERE the days ! WTF has happened to the WORLD !!!

Simply Connected Much *appreciated 📺👋

RIP actor Glynn Edwards ( pub manager here ) 23 May, 2018, age 87.

Also pub manager in Minder Tv programme

ohhh pity. so saddd

To be fair I don't think living next door to Frank Spencer did much for his health esp. his blood pressure.

Another random fact. Glynn spent a large part of his later life in the actual Heart of (Mid) Lothian - Edinburgh.

Still gives me goosebumps listening to it. What a great song

Marillion only make albums

great music - but sorry: to close to what genesis did some years before...

Dave the barman from minder also managed to get on the Paul young video for love of the common people. The black hearse reminds me of the madness video for it must be love.

Dlaczego kiedyś ich nie lubiłam. Właśnie sie zakochałam w tej muzie.......

die Guten Alten Zeiten! Damals hab ich Marillion noch verstanden - heut zu Tage tue ich mich da schwerer

It must be his accent because it sounds like he's saying "white boys" instead of wide boys...

Epic song ruined by a shite video.

the late 80's early 90's the quality of music and musicians was enough to sell ...today the "musicians" put up a ridiculous amount of money and effort in videos to hide the lack of talent they (don't ) have

@FERNANDO AUGUSTO but video is really shit except young faces of marillioners

"It's 6 o'clock in the Tower blocks"... Coincidence or not, but the only missing demo from the earliest days of Marillion was called "The Tower" and that demo had some 21mins of music with only some 8mins of lyrics on it. It was the basis for the 17mins Grendel-song. My guess is that Fish used some previously unused words like "windswept", "stalagmites" and lines like "From a sign" from The Tower to create Heart Of Lothian. Perhaps the musical arrangement of Heart Of Lothian was also an unused left-over from The Tower...

i like the another part which would come after the end of the video.... but they cutted for the clip version.... maybe if they extended a little, or acelerate, but anyway is good like this.... after all the purpose of the clip is to be comercial. Some people unlike the clip, why? is so cool to see them together having fun in the old times x)

0:47 grenfell tower on the right side of the picture

"The trippers of the light fantastic"... Which other band has ever used this expression? ^^
Marillion were definitely top-notch at that time

Well there are six people that I just don't understand.

Clearly Hogarth fans mate.  :)

@ross6668 😂
i like both 👍

I have a vague recollection of hearing this before.

Is that Mike Brewer and Edd China (pre Wheeler Dealers) at the bar - sure looks like them!

marıllon fısh tıme very beatiful

what a great song. never heard this one. Thanks a lot for sharing.
Milwaukee, WI USA

Marillion que bandaaaaaaaa

Anyone know where this was filmed?

Filmed in west London, North Kensington area. At 1.05 you see Grenfell Tower very briefly in the background.

Misplaced Childhood album is thee album! :)

jim fraser welcomes all eastern europeans to east & west lothian plenty of work & housing so please make the trip soon

Jim Fraser zaprasza wszystkich mieszkańców Europy Wschodniej do East Lothian dużą ilością pracy i mieszkania, więc proszę uczynić podróż wkrótce

eccezionali.

One of the best Songs of Marillion and yes, the were nearly gods.

Must be 20+ years since I last heard this track. Forgotten how good it was. Must look for my old Marillion vinyls next time I'm at my parents house

ingilizce bilmesem de bu amcaların şarkılarında kendimden bir şeyler, hatta çok şeyler buluyorum.

This is the first time I've seen this version of the video. Good to see Glynn Edwards (Dave from Minder).

Al Mal I also remember him from the film, Zulu.

jasonpp1973 And Get Carter. Apparently he died recently, RIP.

David Williams Yes..,😥, *confirmed by his 'ZF's.., some magnificent *obits 💻*online 👍🌟💌

Brilhante

Diese Musik hat mich beeinflusst...Als Neubauten noch neu waren,,,

fucking great song

adore this group!!!!

debra Edwards Hope so.. 👍😏

the bloke on the door that throws him out is that John Otway? looked like him a bit

Lyndsey Franklin It is John Otway, also in the video are Glynn Edwards from Minder, Marillion's manager John Arnison and a music journo that I've forgotten the name of.

Ian F. Macfarlane Thanks for that 'FingsWot' *fyi 👍😎

Those were the days !!! I can go on forever !!

I wish you would. Because I could.

Absolutely brilliant

Still the weirdest single ever. I mean, the first minute of this song is Bitter Suite and not even Heart of Lothian.

If you are Scottish you will get this because we are weird creatures but don't ask me to explain because I won't be able to and that makes it even more weird lol

Yes but I always consider the song starts proper earlier and finishes later. It's brilliant but not really a single. Childhood's End was a far more obvious 3rd single from the album, although that runs into White Feather.

they repeated some parts of the same song during the entire album.... but this is part of the "climate" purpose

Perfection 💚😷🎧 musically speaking

Amazing song, terrible video.

In 1985 this was the idea of video.

Amazing in 1985;-) and amazing to watch now!

Care to elaborate? I can't stop watching it!

chris lindsay compared to the absolute gash that computer generated shit is farting out these days this video is excellent.

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!

the old old times where Marillion were gods

I'm afraid he's right Fish is Marillion but yes I agree they were an amazing band all those years ago

You mean 32 years.. makes it / you feel even older :0)

When did they stop?

Totally man 💚☝️🎧

They still are

wow, sudenly a year ago many old Marillion videos came out, great for me

oh my God ....Marillion !!!

Thanks for putting this up on you tube. Marillion is not big in the states. It should be. I think Steve is the best guitarist next to Lindsay Buckingham.

Now, that's what I call good music!!! There's something somewhat epic about this song. I don't know what it might be, is it the changes it has? It's got some wistful, mesmerising notes, too....

Agreed. It's always been my favorite Marillion song.

Listen to the whole album (Misplaced Childhood) and it will sound more epic!

Gonçalo Botelho de Sousa Will *Try..🎧., or *Wave4Fingers alot.. 📈

I think it's to do not only will the empowering melody (no minor harmonies but even plain major ones, for a change!) but with the homesickness psychology, the critical view of London & its self-conscious crowd, and the Ken Loach's aftertaste...
