Holy Mary - John Schumann[00:00:00]
There was always yelling at our house[00:00:23]
And thumping against the wall;[00:00:26]
Dad didn't like Mum very much [00:00:29]
Mum didn't like Dad all[00:00:32]
At night I lie awake[00:00:35]
And listen to their marriage break [00:00:38]
My little sister crying in the room next door[00:00:40]
I knew I had to get away get away[00:00:43]
Put a thousand down on a V8 panel van [00:00:52]
A little bit of rego and a sloppy front end [00:00:55]
Three hours later [00:00:58]
120 through the main street of Tailem Bend[00:01:00]
And I was singing[00:01:03]
Holy Mary pray for me [00:01:05]
In my hour of need[00:01:10]
Holy Mary pray for me[00:01:15]
In my hour of need[00:01:22]
Sunshine Melbourne pastel morning [00:01:30]
The autobank's running low [00:01:32]
I got a job washing dishes in a Carlton restaurant [00:01:35]
Watching the hours go[00:01:38]
I met her in a rock and roll joint [00:01:42]
Where the carpet sticks to your shoes[00:01:44]
The band was playing "I'm Beginning to Lie[00:01:47]
I've Been Here Too Long Blues"[00:01:50]
She said "If we travel to together [00:01:53]
There's got to be a highway code "[00:01:55]
She threw her Adidas bag in the back[00:01:58]
Of the van and we scooted up Sydney Road[00:02:00]
And we were singing[00:02:03]
Holy Mary pray for me [00:02:05]
In my hour of need[00:02:10]
Holy Mary pray for me[00:02:17]
In my hour of need[00:02:21]
If I'd thought about it I never would have done it [00:02:35]
I guess I would have let it slide [00:02:39]
If you listen to others [00:02:42]
You never know where you stand[00:02:43]
And the words of all those songs ring true[00:02:47]
And they try to put the blame on you[00:02:50]
You can only play with the cards[00:02:53]
That are in your hand[00:02:55]
We feel apart in a roadhouse[00:03:02]
A little out of Nelson Bay [00:03:04]
I must have changed my mind[00:03:07]
About a thousand times before I drove away[00:03:09]
But things always happen in circles[00:03:13]
And the dust gets in your eyes[00:03:16]
The past's in the rear-vision mirror [00:03:19]
Don't think about tomorrow twice [00:03:21]
Just keeping singing[00:03:24]
Holy Mary pray for me[00:03:26]
In my hour of need[00:03:31]
Holy Mary pray for me[00:03:37]
In my hour of need[00:03:43]
Holy Mary pray for me[00:03:48]
In my hour of need[00:03:54]
Holy Mary pray for me[00:04:00]
In my hour of need[00:04:05]
Holy Mary pray for me[00:04:11]
In my hour of need[00:04:17]
Holy Mary pray for me[00:04:23]
In my hour of need[00:04:29]
Holy Mary pray for me[00:04:34]
In my hour of need[00:04:40]
Holy Mary pray for me[00:04:46]
In my hour of need[00:04:51]
Holy Mary pray for me[00:04:57]
In my hour of need[00:05:03]
Holy Mary pray for me[00:05:09]
In my hour of need[00:05:15]
