[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 bitch
[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]

Drinking dens are spilling out
There's staggering in the square
There's lads and lasses falling about
And a crackling in the air
Down around the dungeon doors
The shelters in the queues
Everybody's looking for
Somebody's arms to fall into
And it's what it is
It's what it is now
There's frost on the graves and the monuments
But the taverns are warm in town
People curse the government
And shovel hot food down
The lights are out in city hall
The castle and the keep
The moon shines down upon it all
The legless and asleep
And it ′s cold on a tollgate
With the wagons creeping through
Cold on a tollgate
God knows what I could do with you
And It ′s what it is
It ′s what it is now
The garrison sleeps and the citadel
With the ghosts and the ancient stones
High up on the parapet
A Scottish piper stands alone
And high on the wind
The highland drums begin to roll
And something from the past just comes
And stares into my soul
Cold on a tollgate
And the drums beat their tattoo
Cold on a tollgate
God knows what I could do with you
And it ′s what it is
It ′s what it is now
What it is
It ′s what it is now
There ′s a chink of light
There ′s a burning wick
There ′s a lantern in the tower
Wee Willie Winkie with a candlestick
Still writing songs in the wee wee hours
On Charlotte Street I take
A walking stick from my hotel
The ghost of Dirty bitch
Is still in search of Little Nell
And it ′s what it is
It ′s what it is now
Oh it ′s what it is
What it is now
