The Life of Mary May - Daisy Chapman[00:00:00]

Mary was born in May[00:00:02]

The heat of '76[00:00:06]

Oh and while she slept her mother wept[00:00:09]

What stricken life is this[00:00:13]

Her father blue collar[00:00:17]

Exported the dollar[00:00:20]

Each winter the squallor[00:00:23]

Protected from his daughter[00:00:27]

And we say oh the life of Mary May[00:00:31]

Mary had just turned three[00:00:46]

When Daddy turned his back[00:00:50]

And while she slept her mother wept[00:00:53]

He's never to come back[00:00:57]

She tucked Mary's hair behind her ear[00:01:01]

A mother's touch divine[00:01:05]

And the tears she cried they didn't dry[00:01:08]

The year 1979[00:01:12]

And we say oh the life of Mary May[00:01:17]

Mary was seventeen[00:01:32]

When she left the house for good[00:01:36]

Her mother'd not recovered from[00:01:39]

The damage from the flood[00:01:42]

Lawyer bills insurance claims[00:01:46]

Left nothing there but debt[00:01:49]

And the spring of '93[00:01:52]

She put a pistol to her head[00:01:55]

And we say oh the life of Mary May[00:02:00]

Now she lives in the basement getting curious stares[00:02:27]

From the man and the lady who are living upstairs[00:02:30]

She had a child she'd be seen as human[00:02:34]

With help from the government and help for schooling[00:02:37]

Impending fate of the welfare state[00:02:40]

As she waits in line at the communion shrine[00:02:43]

Locked in confession with a sinful priest[00:02:47]

Trying to make ends meet with her benefits ceased[00:02:49]

She sells her soul just to pay the rent[00:02:53]

It's the shameless winter of her discontent[00:02:56]

Oh Mary[00:03:05]

Oh Mary[00:03:14]

Oh Mary was thirty three[00:03:23]

When flashing blue outside[00:03:28]

A child surrendered days ago[00:03:31]

A note lay by her side[00:03:34]

Life is full of exits[00:03:39]

And choices make or break[00:03:42]

But all her splendour's wrapped up[00:03:45]

In the bowels of one mistake[00:03:48]

And we say oh the life of Mary May[00:03:53]
