I don't recognise my town, they keep pulling it down And building new student flats and expensive hotels and shops The streets where I grew up are now filled with builders' trucks Replacing old with new, making profit for the few I'm sitting on Arthur's Seat, looking down at the lights of Leith With the old town full of dreams, the dreams we're losing We've got trams that we don't need and a massive debt to feed The planners don't give a thought to the damage that they brought They sold our Meadowbank, it's just money in the bank When all the trees are gone, it won't help anyone Chorus I'm sitting on Arthur's Seat, looking down at the lights of Leith With the old town full of dreams, the dreams we're losing Where are the doctors, where are the jobs Where are the schools, the community hubs Where are the homes for the workers to stay It's all gone upmarket, but not what they pay I'm sitting on Arthur's Seat, looking down at the lights of Leith With the old town full of dreams, the dreams we're losing I'm sitting on Arthur's Seat, looking down at the lights of Leith With the old town full of dreams, the dreams we're losing The dreams we're losing
