the currency - 888 lyrics

[intro]
2, 3, 4

[verse]
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

[chorus]
sitting on the steps of the eight hour monument
drinking my day away
sitting on the steps of the eight hour monument
thinking what would the ghosts of our great+grandparents say?

[verse]
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
[chorus]
sitting on the steps of the eight hour monument
drinking my day away
sitting on the steps of the eight hour monument
thinking what would they say?

sitting on the steps of the eight hour monument
drinking my day away
sitting on the steps of the eight hour monument
thinking what would the ghosts of our great+grandparents say?

[outro]
888, woah
888, woah
888, what would they say?

888, woah
888, woah
888, what would they say?
what would they say?
what would they say?
what would they say?
