about

The High Line is the opening track from the Christmas compilation EP by the Popical Island collective.

lyrics

I'm delivering the news to you: Santa Claus is middle-aged and blue
He shed his red coat and his boots for pyjamas, training shoes
And it was in that state I ventured out, under the influence of a famous stout
To get the holster and the gun from beneath your auntie's bed, but it was gone

Chorus:
Well it's a hard old station, woah-oh
Working the high line way up in the sky
And asking time to stand still
When it's so impatient to move

Imaging Wyatt Earp without a gun, he'd be the damsel in distress, yessum'
The night before the OK Corral he's unarmed and I'm unfit to call him 'pal'

Chorus

Then a light goes on in a Parnell St. huckster shop
All these places cater for cowboys, one set is like the other
It'll do just ot send me to feathers

Chorus
