More silence from North of the Border

A very funny version of 'Sound of Silence' has been made recently by Ellie Wilson, following her exploits in Edinburgh.  With her permission I reproduce it here:

Hello, darkness, my old friend

I've come to talk with you again

Because my lights have blown without warning

And Edinburgh's so dark in the morning

And the shops that sell the bulbs I need to buy

For DIY

Echo with the sound of silence.

 

When it was light, I walked alone

Slippy streets of cobblestone

At last I made it here: 'Marchmont Hardware'

To my dismay there's no one there

And this is how I came to pass the time

With a rhyme

To fill the sound of silence.

 

Replaced the bulbs; they did not work

At this point I felt like a berk

I phoned the letting agent with the news

I told them I'd already checked the fuse

So they sent a man who fixed the dimmer switch

Which was the glitch

There was an awkward silence.

You could try singing it along with this instrumental version of the song.
