Sisters Of Mercy - Weddings Parties Anything[00:00:01]
Oh the winds they were howlin'[00:00:35]
Both ragged and cold[00:00:38]
Through the grey melbourne streets[00:00:41]
In the pre christmas days [00:00:43]
And the sisters of[00:00:47]
Mercy looked out through their tents[00:00:49]
At the fires in petrol drums [00:00:52]
They seemed to say[00:00:56]
Have we come to this [00:00:59]
Is it all we can do [00:01:01]
To sit here and wait [00:01:04]
To see the strik through [00:01:07]
But to dig in their heels was a thing[00:01:09]
They'd been taught [00:01:13]
So they painted a sign and it said [00:01:15]
"Blow your horn if you support" [00:01:19]
Oh sister of mercy [00:01:27]
Why can't they see [00:01:30]
That a daughter of charity you'll never be [00:01:32]
It's a wicked old game[00:01:38]
That the government plays [00:01:41]
When they treat you like dogs [00:01:44]
Then you must have your day [00:01:46]
It's a telephone vote [00:02:00]
Everyone grab your phones [00:02:03]
All the people dial in[00:02:06]
From their luxury homes [00:02:08]
It was easy to do [00:02:12]
Far too easily done [00:02:14]
Well the thumbs they went down [00:02:17]
It was three against one [00:02:20]
And none of us now can know[00:02:23]
How that felt [00:02:26]
But they strengthened their stance[00:02:28]
And they tightened their belts [00:02:31]
And the papers they all said[00:02:32]
"No beer for christmas" [00:02:35]
It seemed such a shame[00:02:37]
While the nurses sat out[00:02:39]
In the wind and the rain [00:02:43]
Oh the way down the way[00:02:48]
Oh sister of mercy [00:02:51]
Why can't they see [00:02:54]
That a daughter of charity you'll never be [00:02:57]
It's a wicked old game[00:03:02]
That the government plays [00:03:05]
When they treat you like dogs [00:03:08]
Then you must have your day [00:03:11]
Well the girl on the six o'clock[00:03:39]
News looked concerned [00:03:43]
As she told of[00:03:45]
The developments bitter and bold [00:03:47]
But I could not help wonder[00:03:51]
What she got for christmas [00:03:54]
And was there a story[00:03:57]
We hadn't been told [00:04:00]
In the newsroom [00:04:03]
At the breakup the[00:04:04]
Whole thing was fine [00:04:06]
But they never drank beer [00:04:08]
The bastards drank wine [00:04:12]
While down on the pickets[00:04:15]
They cared not for beer [00:04:18]
Just for health just for welfare [00:04:20]
Just for their hard fought careers [00:04:24]
Oh sister of mercy why can't they see [00:04:32]
That a daughter of charity you'll never be [00:04:38]
It's a wicked old game[00:04:44]
That the government plays [00:04:47]
When they treat you like dogs [00:04:50]
Then you must have your day[00:04:52]
When they treat you like dogs [00:04:56]
Then you must have your day[00:04:58]
You will have your day someday[00:05:07]
