Big Harp - Outside in the Snow lyrics

(Verse) Take your pride Throw it on the ground Put on a shepherd’s cap To replace your crown Abandon your wing tips For a sturdier shoe You got a long way to go Better lace up your boots There is only one place to go Where the once high and mighty Are out shoveling coal (Chorus 1) You got to stand outside Oh, you got to stand outside Yea, you got to stand outside sponsored links Outside Canossa in the snow (Verse) And take your meat Feed it to the gulls Take all your fine dishes Dash them on the rocks Human kindness Is a skinny old cow But you got no other milk To rely on now What can you do? And your luck gets thin When you can pile all your riches on the head of a pin (Chorus 2) You better stand outside Yea, you got to stand outside Oh, you got to stand outside I hope somebody lets you in (Verse) There’s a line behind the hill That you can’t step back across You’re a free man now Like all free men You got to beg for the things you lost You can walk all the way to the eastern coast But it’s all to the western shore But you’ll never never never be free Till you stand at the foot of the door (Chorus 1) You got to stand outside Oh, you got to stand outside Yea, you got to stand outside Outside Canossa in the snow (Verse) When all your money All your fortune and bread Flips over the rail with the 6th horse When it breaks to the left When you’re down And your friends turn their backs Oh when you’re scrounging for tickets While they close down the track (Chorus 3) You got to stand (stand outside) Yea, you got to stand (stand outside) Oh, you got to stand (stand outside) Outside Canossa in the snow
