The remix of Edina, from the album 'The Ballads Of Peckham Rye, by London-based producer Hiatus.
lyrics
Edina
I often think about the nights,
the times before I learnt that all my days have got a number.
Chasing all the girls up Lilyhill, bare-chested in the rain.
The green and white on a Saturday, birling through the turnstiles and singing all the way down Easter Road.
Would you forgive me, what do you say, Edina?
I've been listening for the van, counting change from out my pocket for an ice-cream from the man,
I've been skinnin' all my knees, running from the polis, hide and seek along Great Junction Street.
I always felt this awful shame, coming from a scheme, and I never took my education,
would you forgive me, what do you say, Edina?
I will never grow, never will I grow so old again
Everywhere I've been, everywhere I go I hold your sorrow in my bones
Even though I said, even though I swore I'm never coming home, I know
Would you forgive me, what do you say?
I've am whistling in the dark, I've been trying to hold a candle, I've been trying to change my feelings,
I've been crying in my sleep and when she wakes to gie me comfort I say I can't recall my sorrow.
I hold you to my breast, I've been keeping all your secrets, maybe one day you will release me,
Would you forgive me, what do you say, Edina?
Blue Rose Code is a band led by Edinburgh-born songwriter Ross Wilson. At the edge of contemporary alt-folk, Wilson's music evokes a meeting of Van Morrison and a young John Martyn, both shipwrecked with a bunch of Motown records.

I consider Malcolm Middleton to be the greatest singer/songwriter
to have ever lived; this includes Lennon and McCartney, Dylan and Diamond, Bowie, Morrissey, Curtis et al. As perceptive and touching as Orwell, as lucid and as a world-weary as Bukowski, with a Dostoevskian self analysis and deprecation, and a poetry equal to W.B. Yeats. I will pass the small Middleton collection I will build to my only child and daughter, Victoria. I hope she will understand and forgive me. adrian_lewis
