Stewie -Redgum |
[00:18.531] |
Ward eight at the QE |
[00:20.430] |
Somewhere down Woodville |
[00:21.930] |
A smoky Grey Thursday |
[00:23.969] |
Take out your sword |
[00:25.738] |
Stewie was born |
[00:26.878] |
There was blood on the sheets |
[00:29.448] |
Doctor was drunk |
[00:30.378] |
And the sister was bored |
[00:34.888] |
Home was a weatherboard housing trust unit |
[00:38.56] |
A low cyclone fence |
[00:39.456] |
And a sparse gravel drive |
[00:42.125] |
Dad was a truckie from |
[00:43.655] |
Adelaide to Melbourne |
[00:45.533] |
Two trips a week just to keep them alive |
[00:50.853] |
First sentence for Stewie |
[00:52.742] |
Was going to school |
[00:54.482] |
In prison Grey trousers |
[00:56.81] |
He walked in the yard |
[00:58.180] |
His mum shed a tear |
[00:59.479] |
At his Vaselined push back |
[01:01.968] |
Clutching a ruler his name on a card |
[01:07.37] |
Step forward Stewart Bedson |
[01:08.787] |
The head-master said |
[01:10.727] |
It seemed like Stewie was always in strife |
[01:13.946] |
Step forward Stewart Bedson |
[01:15.965] |
The magistrate said |
[01:18.15] |
This time ten years |
[01:20.884] |
Next time life |
[01:25.333] |
And grades one to seven passed pretty quickly |
[01:28.643] |
Detention and caning and one million lines |
[01:32.372] |
Stewie could write just enough to get by |
[01:36.81] |
Stewie could read all the shoplifting signs |
[01:41.150] |
There was a bond for a Biro |
[01:43.00] |
And a fine for some fags |
[01:45.109] |
Another kid's bike leading up to a car |
[01:49.108] |
Photographs fingerprints |
[01:50.708] |
Juvenile court-house |
[01:52.467] |
A year in Mcnallys for going too far |
[01:57.715] |
Step forward Stewart Bedson |
[01:59.564] |
The magistrate said |
[02:00.884] |
Over pine-panelled wood leaned |
[02:03.83] |
The face of the law |
[02:04.963] |
We think you're a threat to |
[02:06.912] |
Property and justice |
[02:08.762] |
Three years up the creek |
[02:11.131] |
While we make sure |
[02:30.590] |
A robbery with violence in retaliation |
[02:34.199] |
For beatings and Bashings |
[02:35.658] |
At the hands of the screws |
[02:37.988] |
Time in and time out and time and again |
[02:41.477] |
Is this what they meant by |
[02:43.447] |
Paying your dues |
[02:46.867] |
Some people had plenty |
[02:48.357] |
While others had none |
[02:50.436] |
For the same working week |
[02:51.976] |
It seemed year after year |
[02:53.815] |
Worked over by coppers for |
[02:56.265] |
Tipping the scales |
[02:58.195] |
Life wasn't meant to be easy |
[03:03.274] |
