《Sisters of Mercy》歌词

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

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

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

[00:00:25] Through the grey Melbourne

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

[00:00:31] And the Sisters of

[00:00:32] Mercy looked out

[00:00:33] Through their tents

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

[00:00:38] They seemed to say

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

[00:01:06] Oh Sister of Mercy

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

[00:01:11] That a daughter of

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

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

[00:01:18] That the government plays

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

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

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

[00:01:37] Everyone grab your phones

[00:01:39] All the people dial

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

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

[00:01:46] Far too easily done

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

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

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

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

[00:01:59] But they strengthened

[00:02:00] Their stance and they

[00:02:02] Tightened their belts

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

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

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

[00:02:09] While the nurses sat

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

[00:02:19] Oh Sister of Mercy

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

[00:02:24] That a daughter of

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

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

[00:02:31] That the government plays

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

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

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

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

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

[00:03:04] Developments bitter and bold

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

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

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

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

[00:03:18] In the newsroom

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

[00:03:21] Thing was fine

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

[00:03:25] The bastards drank wine

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

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

[00:03:32] Just for health

[00:03:34] Just for welfare

[00:03:35] Just for their hard

[00:03:37] Fought careers

[00:03:43] Oh Sister of Mercy

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

[00:03:48] That a daughter of

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

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

[00:03:55] That the government plays

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

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

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

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

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