Votadini

The Votadini (the Wotādīni, Votādīni, or Otadini) were a Celtic people of the Iron Age in Great Britain. Their territory was in what is now south-east Scotland and north-east England, extending south of the Firth of Forth and extended from the Stirling area down to the English River Tyne, including at its peak what are now the Falkirk, Lothian and Borders regions of eastern Scotland, and Northumberland in north east England. They were briefly part of the Roman province Britannia. Their capital was probably the Traprain Law hill fort in East Lothian, until that was abandoned in the early 5th century, moving to Din Eidyn (Edinburgh).

The name is recorded as Votadini in classical sources. Their descendants were the early medieval kingdom known in Old Welsh as Guotodin, and in later Welsh as Gododdin [ɡoˈdoðin].

One of the oldest known pieces of British literature is a poem called 'Y Gododdin', written in Old Welsh, having previously been passed down via the oral traditions of the Brythonic speaking Britons. This poem celebrates the bravery of the soldiers from what was later referred to by the Britons as 'Yr Hen Ogledd' – The Old North; a reference to the fact that this land was lost in battle to an invading force at Catraeth,(modern day Catterick).

Fit in

Fit in, fit in
I'm spending nights just dreaming
And playing the music loud
They're banging on the ceiling
They're praying that I'll soon be out
I almost thought of leaving
Get away from the glares
And their unfriendly stares
And now I'm all alone
And the telephone teases and dares
(You gotta ring, you gotta ring)
I'll get away from them all, oh, oh
So pride comes before a fall
But I'm not for giving in
(Fit in, fit in)
Ah, ooh
(Fit in, fit in)
They're kicking up a storm in
Some strange place they know out of town
Why won't I go along there
It's crazy they're all doing it now
But right now it's the last place
That I wanna see, it's my way to be free
And I'm getting bored
Of the way they expect me to be
(You gotta be, you gotta be)
I'll get away from them all, oh, oh
So pride comes before a fall
But I'm not for giving in
I don't fit in, fit in
I don't fit in, fit in
I'm holding on so tightly
But I don't want to take any more
'Cos what they say just bites me
And gets to me down to the core
A ring and kids invite me
Or a house and a home
And a car and a phone, and a video
Won't they ever leave it alone
(You gotta ring, you gotta ring)
I'll get away from them all, oh oh
So pride comes before a fall
But I'm not for giving in
(Fit in, fit in)
Ah, ooh
(Fit in, fit in)
I won't fit in, fit in
I don't fit in, fit in, ah ooh
I don't fit in, fit in
I don't fit in, fit in
