	[al:]
	it's what it is
	what it is now…
[00:32.73]	the drinking dens are spilling out
[00:34.57]	there's staggering in the square
[00:36.52]	there's lads and lasses falling about
[00:38.37]	and a crackling in the air
[00:40.75]	down around the dungeon doors
[00:42.40]	the shelters and the queues
[00:44.40]	everybody's looking for
[00:46.29]	somebody's arms to fall into
[00:48.58]	that's what it is
[00:51.52]	it's what it is now
[00:55.95]	there's frost on the graves and the monuments
[00:58.05]	but the taverns are warm in town
[01:00.39]	people curse the government
[01:02.04]	and shovel hot food down
[01:04.28]	lights are out in the city hall
[01:05.83]	the castle and the keep
[01:07.87]	the moon shines down upon it all
[01:09.71]	the legless and asleep
[01:12.00]	and it's cold on the tollgate
[01:13.75]	with the wagons creeping through
[01:16.04]	cold on the tollgate
[01:17.63]	god knows what i could do with you
[01:19.48]	that's what it is
[01:22.82]	it's what it is now
[01:27.17]	the garrison sleeps in the citadel
[01:29.67]	with the ghosts and the ancient stones
[01:31.61]	high on the parapet
[01:33.66]	a scottish piper stands alone
[01:36.15]	and high on the wind
[01:37.39]	the highland drums begin to roll
[01:40.04]	and something from the past just comes
[01:41.58]	and stares into my soul
[01:43.52]	and it's cold on the tollgate
[01:45.31]	and the drums beat their tatoo
[01:47.71]	cold on the tollgate
[01:49.25]	god knows what i could do with you
[01:51.45]	that's what it is
[01:54.69]	it's what it is now
[01:58.93]	what it is
[02:02.56]	it's what it is now
[02:38.47]	there's a chink of light
[02:39.42]	there's a burning wick
[02:40.26]	there's a lantern in the tower
[02:42.31]	wee willie winkie with a candlestick
[02:44.06]	still writing songs in the wee wee hours
[02:46.25]	on charlotte street i take
[02:47.79]	a walking stick for my hotel
[02:51.24]	the ghost of dirty dick
[02:52.12]	is still in search of little nell
[02:54.70]	that's what it is
[03:09.66]	it's what it is now
