[00:32.27]Drinking dens are spilling out
[00:33.98]There's staggering in the square
[00:36.16]There's lads and lasses falling about
[00:37.96]And a crackling in the air
[00:40.48]Down around the dungeon doors
[00:41.87]The shelters in the queues
[00:44.42]Everybody's looking for
[00:45.74]Somebody's arms to fall into
[00:47.89]And it's what it is
[00:51.54]It's what it is now
[00:55.48]There's frost on the graves and the monuments
[00:57.54]But the taverns are warm in town
[01:00.11]People curse the government
[01:01.70]And shovel hot food down
[01:03.81]The lights are out in city hall
[01:05.42]The castle and the keep
[01:07.65]The moon shines down upon it all
[01:09.48]The legless and asleep
[01:12.00]And it′s cold on a tollgate
[01:13.36]With the wagons creeping through
[01:15.88]Cold on a tollgate
[01:17.24]God knows what I could do with you
[01:19.22]And It′s what it is
[01:22.77]It′s what it is now
[01:27.23]The garrison sleeps and the citadel
[01:28.99]With the ghosts and the ancient stones
[01:31.61]High up on the parapet
[01:32.98]A Scottish piper stands alone
[01:35.56]And high on the wind
[01:36.67]The highland drums begin to roll
[01:39.42]And something from the past just comes
[01:40.88]And stares into my soul
[01:42.10]And it′s cold on a tollgate
[01:44.87]Where the Caledonian blues
[01:47.37]Cold on a tollgate
[01:48.81]God knows what I could do with you
[01:50.93]And It′s what it is
[01:53.74]It′s what it is now
[01:58.43]What it is
[02:02.33]It′s what it is now
[02:38.01]There′s a chink of light
[02:39.18]There′s a lantern in the tower
[02:39.20]There′s a burning wick
[02:41.99]Wee Willie Winkie with a candlestick
[02:43.83]Still writing songs in the wee wee hours
[02:45.73]On Charlotte Street I take
[02:47.52]A walking stick from my hotel
[02:50.51]The ghost of Dirty Dick
[02:51.77]Is still in search of Little Nell
[02:53.36]And it′s what it is
[02:57.42]It′s what it is now
[02:59.10]Oh it′s what it is
[03:05.34]What it is now
