Balgreen is a suburb of Edinburgh. The name comes from Balgreen House once situated where Balgreen School now stands and is possibly derived from Scottish Gaelic, either being Baile na Grèine (Sunny Town) or Baile Grain (Gravel town) from the gravel on the riverbank. It does not, as some etymologies have suggested, come from "Ball Green". The "Bal-" prefix can also be found in Balerno.
The Water of Leith flows through here, and there are also a library, primary school, and a large park here, with facilities for football (soccer) etc, and a children's playpark.
Balgreen's neighbouring areas include Saughtonhall, Chesser, Whitson, Murrayfield and Gorgie.

Once more on a roll
I’m looking for something.
Unable to waste
Always ready to taste.
Too tired to be
Pathetically lonely.
Too eager to get
An illusion of happiness.
Once more I’ve got no home
And I’m looking for someone
To give me shelter and warmth
‘cause I’m cold to the bone.
(don’t know what stops me roam)
Somewhere I belong
But that place is a secret
For everyone
And, alas, it’s unknown to me.
Again and again and again
You catch my wrist in your hand.
Again and again and again
I grin a blue grin
‘cause you’re deaf to my heart.
You can’t bother me less
Than you’re meant to bother.
I can’t be what you want,
Always pleasure and smile.
(my temples ache when I try to fake).
I’m not going to change
That’s not in my power
No matter for you
Or for anyone else to come.
Why stopping me go,
Why holding me tighter,
(you can’t take me the right way)
Why cling to my eyes,
Why pretend you know me?
(you can’t take me the right way)
To someone I belong,
To the others I’m nothing.
(you can’t take me the right way)
I know you are not
What I want for myself this time.
Again and again and again
You catch my wrist in your hand.
Again and again and again
I grin a blue grin
‘cause I’m deaf to your heart.
You’re nothing special to me
No matter what you want
Like it or not.
We’re nothing but you and me
And it is clear we can’t be
A melted we.
Again and again and again
You catch my wrist in your hand.
Again and again and again
I grin a blue grin
‘cause you’re deaf to my heart.
Again and again and again
You catch my wrist in your hand.
Again and again and again
I grin a blue grin
