Thomas)
Oh the winds they were howlin' both ragged and cold
Through the grey Melbourne streets in the pre-Christmas days,
And the Sisters of Mercy looked out through their tents
At the fires in petrol drums, they seemed to say
Have we come to this, is it all we can do,
To sit here and wait, to see the thing through?
But to dig in their heels was a thing they'd been taught,
So they painted a sign and it said, "Blow your horn if you support".
Oh Sister of Mercy, why can't they see,
That a daughter of charity you'll never be.
It's a wicked old game that the government plays,
When they treat you like dogs, then you must have your day.
It's a telephone vote, everyone grab your phones,
All the people dial in from their luxury homes,
It was easy to do, far too easily done,
Well the thumbs they went down, it was three against one.
And none of us now can know how that felt,
But they strengthened their stance and they tightened their belts,
And the papers they all said "no beer for Christmas",
It seemed such a shame
While the nurses sat out in the wind and the rain.
Oh Sister of Mercy, why can't they see,
That a daughter of charity you'll never be.
It's a wicked old game that the government plays,
When they treat you like dogs, then you must have your day.
Well the girl on the six o'clock news looked concerned,
As she told of the developments bitter and bold,
But I could not help wonder what she got for Christmas,
And was there a story we hadn't been told.
In the newsroom, at the breakup the whole thing was fine,
But they never drank beer, the bastards drank wine.
While down on the pickets they cared not for beer,
Just for health, just for welfare,
Just for their hard fought careers.
Oh Sister of Mercy, why can't they see,
That a daughter of charity you'll never be.
It's a wicked old game that the government plays,
When they treat you like dogs, then you must have your day
When they treat you like dogs, then you must have your day
You will have your day, someday

Other Wedding Parties Anything song Lyrics
  • BIG RIVER
    "He came up from the country looking for a job of work,
    He came from a town that died a slow hard death,
    And when the train pulled into Spencer Street, he was fast asleep.
    He opened one eye and he took a long deep breath...."
  • BRUNSWICK
    "In the summer all the old men, they sit on their front porches,
    While the women comb their hair, shell their peas
    And wonder what they've missed.
    And the forlorn children scan the streets..."
  • GUN
    "A bunch of withered roses lie, a faded silhouette
    Caught you jumpin' in the deep end last night, but it hasn't happened yet.
    They're tying up your body with some rusty Number 8 and they say,
    Too early with your run, son...."
  • INDUSTRIAL TOWN
    "Down in the valley, the valley so low,
    Lay the town over and hear the winds blow,
    Lay the town over and dig it all in,
    For what we once had will not come again...."
  • MISSING IN ACTION
    "And after all this time why must you be
    Missing in action, missing in action?
    And after all these years why must you be
    Missing in action, missing in action?..."
  • MORTON SONG FOR TEX
    "He stopped to change a tyre out near Warnambool,
    His Chevy it was all over the road.
    He pulled into town sometime in the early afternoon,
    More than a normal travelling salesman, the guitar his only load...."
  • SAY THE WORD
    "On a day not quite like any other
    In a land both warm and sweet,
    You were born such a proud, proud daughter
    A smirk on your face, the world at your feet...."
  • UNDER THE CLOCKS
    "Hey, hey, I see a Melbourne girl on a rusty Malvern Star,
    Through the spastic Northcote streets at dawn
    See the way her hair's tied back,
    Her cheeks so red, a grey coat ragged and worn...."
