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.

[Intro]
D Dsus2 D G6/D C
D Dsus2 D G6/D C Cadd9
D Dsus2 D G6/D C
[Verse 1]
D Dsus2
There she is again tonight
C Cadd9
She's dancin' across the floor
D Dsus2
Where the lights flash, bodies crash
C Cadd9
And smoke pours out the door
D Dsus2
She's lookin' for a rhythm
C Cadd9 D Dsus2 D G6/D C Cadd9
That can take away the day before
D Dsus2
She ain't no angel
C Cadd9
No sweet sixteen
D Dsus2 C Cadd9
She don't look like the cover on a magazine
D Dsus2
She's feelin' low and lonely
C Cadd9 D Dsus2 D G6/D C Cadd9
She don't want to make a scene
[Chorus]
So she says:
Bm F#
"Dance to the broken beat
Bm
Better than walkin' up and down
F#
The hard and dusty street", and she's thinking:
G D
Don't want to know about the boys up there
G D
Don't want to find out if they care
G D
Just want to forget everything
A D Dsus2 C
Everywhere
D Dsus2 D G6/D C Cadd9 D Dsus2 C Cadd9
I've just come up for air
D Dsus2 D G6/D C
I've just come up for air
[Verse 2]
D Dsus2
She goes home tired and drunk
C Cadd9
From another lonely night
D Dsus2
The traffic lullaby tells her
C C
She feels alright
D Dsus2
And every day it's just the same
C Cadd9
And nothing makes a difference
D Dsus2 D G6/D C Cadd9
Like she thought it might
D Dsus2
She looks like a secretary
C Cadd9
Feels like a thief
D Dsus2
For all this deadening
C
There must be some relief
D Dsus2
No-one shows her anything
C Cadd9 D G6/D C Cadd9
The only thing that comes through is the beat, the beat
[Chorus]
And she says:
Bm F#
"Dance to the broken beat
Bm
Better than walkin' up and down
F#
The hard and dusty street"
G
And she's thinking:
G D
Don't want to know about the boys up there

A D Dsus2 C Cadd9
Everywhere, yeah
D Dsus2 C
I've just come up for air
D Dsus2 C Cadd9
"Won't you look at me", she says
D Dsus2 D G6/D C
"I've just come up for air"
[Outro]
D C D C
She says
D C
Well she talks to me
D C D Dsus2 C Cadd9
She says....Oooooh, she says "look at me"
D Dsus2 D G6/D C Cadd9
"Look at me boys, I've just come up for air"
D Dsus2 C Cadd9 D Dsus2 C
She talks to me, She says "I've just come up for air"
