《Magdalene Laundries》歌词

[00:00:00] Magdalene Laundries - Christy Moore

[00:00:15] When they sent her to the sisters

[00:00:17] Because of the way men looked at her

[00:00:24] Branded as a jezebel she knew she was not bound for heaven

[00:00:31] She had been cast in shame into the Magdalen launderies

[00:00:40] Most girls went there pregnant some by their own fathers

[00:00:49] Bridget got her belly from the Parish Priest

[00:00:56] They're trying to wash things as white

[00:00:58] As snow all of those woe-begotten daughters

[00:01:04] In the steaming stains of the Magdalen launderies

[00:01:18] Prostitutes and destitutes and temptresses like Joanie

[00:01:26] Fallen women sentenced into dreamless drudgery

[00:01:34] Why do the call this place Our Lady Of Charity

[00:01:43] Of Charity

[00:01:50] These bloodless brides of Jesus

[00:01:53] If they could just once glimpse their groom

[00:01:58] They'd drop the stones concealed behind their rosaries

[00:02:07] They wilt the grass they walk upon they leech the light out of a room

[00:02:14] They'd like to wash

[00:02:15] Those girls down the drains of The Magdalene Launderies

[00:02:27] Peg O'Connell died today

[00:02:30] She was a cheeky girl they stuffed her in a hole

[00:02:35] Surely to God you'd think at least some bells should ring

[00:02:43] Joanie thinks she'll die there too

[00:02:47] And that they'll tramp her in the dirt

[00:02:51] Like some lame bulb that never will bloom

[00:02:55] When the springtime comes

[00:03:03] When the springtime comes
