cant believe that nobody commented on this one. It has maybe one of the most melodic hooks in the history of Rock.

Lothian is the county/district in which Edinburgh is. Saying you have a heart of Lothian is just saying where you come from. Also, the 'Heart of Lothian', full name 'Heart of Midlothian', is a mozaic heart inlaid into the sidewalk halfway up the Royal Mile in Edinburgh, the nearest city to Fish's hometown of Dalkeith. The heart is traditionally spat into when you walk past it, and is a symbol of local pride.
