"'Lights of Cincinnati'" is a song written by the English songwriters Tony Macaulay and Geoff Stephens which was first a song for the American singer-songwriter Scott Walker in 1969. The song was Walker's third solo single in the UK. The accompaniment was directed by Peter Knight.
"Lights of Cincinnati" was a moderate hit spending ten weeks on the UK Singles Chart and peaking at No. 13 in July 1969. The single also made the Irish Singles Chart peaking at No. 20.
While not included on the concurrently released 'Scott: Scott Walker Sings Songs from his TV Series' album or 'Scott 3' album from March, the song replaced "30 Century Man" on US editions of 'Scott 3'. The single was backed with the 1969 'Scott 3' album track "Two Weeks Since You've Gone". The accompaniment of the b-side was directed by Wally Stott, later known as Angela Morley.
