[00:32.013]Drinking dens are spilling out
[00:33.659]There's staggering in the square
[00:35.827]There's lads and lasses falling about
[00:37.604]And a crackling in the air
[00:39.824]Down around the dungeon doors
[00:41.470]The shelters in the queues
[00:43.664]Everybody's looking for
[00:45.414]Somebody's arms to fall into
[00:47.347]And it's what it is
[00:50.560]It's what it is now
[00:55.262]There's frost on the graves and the monuments
[00:57.222]But the taverns are warm in town
[00:59.651]People curse the government
[01:01.192]And shovel hot food down
[01:03.569]The lights are out in city hall
[01:04.771]The castle and the keep
[01:07.357]The moon shines down upon it all
[01:08.637]The legless and asleep
[01:11.432]And it ′s cold on a tollgate
[01:13.078]With the wagons creeping through
[01:15.403]Cold on a tollgate
[01:17.022]God knows what I could do with you
[01:18.825]And It ′s what it is
[01:21.698]It ′s what it is now
[01:26.844]The garrison sleeps and the citadel
[01:28.699]With the ghosts and the ancient stones
[01:31.102]High up on the parapet
[01:32.774]A Scottish piper stands alone
[01:35.204]And high on the wind
[01:36.379]The highland drums begin to roll
[01:39.174]And something from the past just comes
[01:40.637]And stares into my soul
[01:43.171]Cold on a tollgate
[01:44.399]And the drums beat their tattoo
[01:47.116]Cold on a tollgate
[01:48.500]God knows what I could do with you
[01:50.276]And it ′s what it is
[01:53.542]It ′s what it is now
[01:58.270]What it is
[02:01.979]It ′s what it is now
[02:37.819]There ′s a chink of light
[02:38.655]There ′s a burning wick
[02:39.648]There ′s a lantern in the tower
[02:41.842]Wee Willie Winkie with a candlestick
[02:43.644]Still writing songs in the wee wee hours
[02:45.421]On Charlotte Street I take
[02:46.936]A walking stick from my hotel
[02:50.201]The ghost of Dirty ****
[02:51.403]Is still in search of Little Nell
[02:53.493]And it ′s what it is
[02:56.967]It ′s what it is now
[03:01.068]Oh it ′s what it is
[03:04.516]What it is now
[03:12.092]
