lyrics

Near the windy gates of heaven
Lived a legend in his own mind
Stuck between some ruins and Coaltown

Mary, Queen of Scots had it all sewn up
She had more houses than the Pope (roll up, roll up)
Like Balfour House nearby Balgonie Castle
Who could be bothered with all that hassle?

John Milton of Balgonie
Wrote Paradise Lost & Found
He was the star of Markinch
Stationed underground

Lovers in Fife are flaming randy
Johnny boy wrote in his book
He also foretold gigs in Kinghorn
In the Cuinzie Neuk

John Milton of Balgonie
Wrote Paradise Lost & Found
He was the star of Markinch
Stationed underground
