Sisters Of Mercy - Weddings Parties Anything[00:00:00]

Oh the winds they were[00:00:21]

Howlin both ragged and cold[00:00:22]

Through the grey Melbourne[00:00:25]

Streets in the pre-Christmas days [00:00:27]

And the Sisters of[00:00:31]

Mercy looked out[00:00:32]

Through their tents[00:00:33]

At the fires in petrol drums[00:00:35]

They seemed to say[00:00:38]

Have we come to this[00:00:41]

Is it all we can do[00:00:43]

To sit here and wait[00:00:45]

To see the thing through [00:00:48]

But to dig in their heels[00:00:51]

Was a thing they'd been taught [00:00:53]

So they painted a sign and it said [00:00:55]

"Blow your horn if you support"[00:00:58]

Oh Sister of Mercy [00:01:06]

Why can't they see [00:01:08]

That a daughter of[00:01:11]

Charity you'll never be [00:01:12]

It's a wicked old game[00:01:16]

That the government plays [00:01:18]

When they treat you like dogs [00:01:21]

Then you must have your day [00:01:23]

It's a telephone vote [00:01:34]

Everyone grab your phones [00:01:37]

All the people dial[00:01:39]

In from their luxury homes [00:01:42]

It was easy to do [00:01:45]

Far too easily done [00:01:46]

Well the thumbs they went down [00:01:49]

It was three against one [00:01:52]

And none of us now[00:01:55]

Can know how that felt [00:01:57]

But they strengthened[00:01:59]

Their stance and they[00:02:00]

Tightened their belts [00:02:02]

And the papers they all[00:02:03]

Said "no beer for Christmas"[00:02:04]

It seemed such a shame[00:02:07]

While the nurses sat[00:02:09]

Out in the wind and the rain [00:02:10]

Oh Sister of Mercy [00:02:19]

Why can't they see [00:02:22]

That a daughter of[00:02:24]

Charity you'll never be [00:02:26]

It's a wicked old game[00:02:29]

That the government plays [00:02:31]

When they treat you like dogs [00:02:34]

Then you must have your day [00:02:36]

Well the girl on the six[00:02:58]

O'clock news looked concerned [00:03:00]

As she told of the[00:03:03]

Developments bitter and bold [00:03:04]

But I could not help[00:03:08]

Wonder what she got for Christmas [00:03:09]

And was there a story[00:03:13]

We hadn't been told [00:03:15]

In the newsroom [00:03:18]

At the breakup the whole[00:03:19]

Thing was fine [00:03:21]

But they never drank beer[00:03:23]

The bastards drank wine [00:03:25]

While down on the pickets[00:03:28]

They cared not for beer [00:03:30]

Just for health [00:03:32]

Just for welfare [00:03:34]

Just for their hard[00:03:35]

Fought careers [00:03:37]

Oh Sister of Mercy [00:03:43]

Why can't they see [00:03:45]

That a daughter of[00:03:48]

Charity you'll never be [00:03:49]

It's a wicked old game[00:03:53]

That the government plays [00:03:55]

When they treat you like dogs[00:03:57]

Then you must have your day[00:04:00]

When they treat you like dogs[00:04:02]

Then you must have your day[00:04:05]

You will have your day someday[00:04:12]
