Weddings Parties Anything

Hungry Years

by Weddings Parties Anything
Weddings Parties Anything

Biography:

Weddings Parties Anything, often known as WPA and Weddoes, is an Australian folk rock band formed by Mick Thomas in Melbourne in 1985 and continuing until 1998. Their name came from a Clash song ("Revolution Rock") and musicologist Billy Pinnell described their first album as the best Australian rock debut since Skyhooks' Living in the '70s.

WPA initially gained a reputation as a hot new band through their constant touring in their early days, however they never really became a commercial success.

Hungry Years – Weddings, Parties, Anything

A G D A G D

D A G
Mama, mama, come and listen now and I’ll tell you what I saw
G D
I was down by the railway gates – I was feeling bored
G D
Then a goods train rolled up clickety-clack
G D
You say there ain’t no special in that
A G D
But it was crowded down, it was loaded down
A G D
With men all wearing rags and frowns
A G D
And if you want to listen what I’ve been told
A G D G D
Tonight it’s on for young and old in our town, tonight in our town.

G D G D
Won’t you spare a smile, can’t you shed a tear
A G D
In these sad times, in these bad times in these hungry years

D A G
Some say they are pickers, they are up for honest work
G D A
Some they are just hard time men, a little bit down on their luck
G D G D
So why is it you are frowning dad, when I say they’re not that bad?
A G D
Oh they are tired men, they’re unhired men
A G D
They ain’t slept warm since who knows when
A G D
And if you want to listen, if you want to know,
A G D G D
It’s caution to the wind they’ll throw in our town, tonight in our town

G D G D
Won’t you spare a smile, can’t you shed a tear
A G D
In these sad times, in these bad times in these hungry years

D A G
We are very many, and you are very few
G D A
And if we want to steal your girls – that’s just what we will do
G D G D
‘Cause you drove us from your cities, and you drove us from your trains
A G D A G D
And we are down and out in Ouyen town, and you know we are Mildura-bound
A G D
And if you want to listen, use your brains,
A G D G D
You’d better let us join your train and leave this town – I hate your town

G D G D
Won’t you spare a smile, can’t you shed a tear
A G D
In these sad times, in these bad times in these hungry years
