Nicolson Street

about

If you walk in and out all of the many charity shops on Edinburgh's Nicolson Street, sooner or later you will find whatever you're looking for

lyrics

If your pockets are empty
And your clothes are bland
You could do worse than buy second hand

Just direct your ill-shod feet
To the charity shops on Nicolson Street

Leave Waverley Station, cross the bridges, North and South
Soon you'll be boggle-eyed with a gaping mouth

There are second hand shops and first class places to eat
You'll find all that on Nicolson Street

You will find just what you seek
If you walk the length of Nicolson Street
Bare essentials or a treat
You'll find just about anything on Nicolson Street

Whether it's a walking cane or some running shoes
A rare vinyl album from 1982
Stripey curtains or polka-dot bedsheets
You'll find that thing on Nicolson Street

A day out in Edinburgh with my man
We lost track of each other, blowing all our plans
i was about to admit defeat
When I found him, half way down Nicolson Street

You will find just what you seek
If you walk the length of Nicolson Street
Bare essentials or a treat
You'll find just about anything on Nicolson Street

You might meet your husband or your future wife
Or stumble across the meaning of your life
If you get on the number 3 and get off before Clark Street
You might find yourself on Nicolson Street

Lewis Mullen Glasgow, UK

I write the kind of music I'd like to listen to, and I hope you enjoy listening to it to. It's a window into a slightly different world that's a more honest mirror of our own
