You said you'd meet me at the corner Of Russell and Victoria When I arrived you weren't there So I opened up the bottle Of red I brought to share And sat upon the monument stairs It says here Of battles fought and won It says here Of victories a long time coming An eight hour day An honest working wage It's just history
Sitting on the steps of the Eight Hour Monument Drinking my day away Sitting on the steps of the Eight Hour Monument Find more lyrics at ※ Mojim.com Thinking what would the ghosts of our great-grandparents say?
Across the road Trades Hall And behind me the Old Melbourne Gaol I bought a souvenir mug To drink out of With the death mask of Edward Kelly It says here Ned's parting words It' says here 'Such is life!' Where the heavens are you, what the hell am I to do And how on earth did it end up this way? It's just history
