Not My Vibe 02:25
lyrics
You’ve shown your stripes And it’s not my vibe You sugar coat your hate Misquoting left as right We’ve got a sticky situation Building in the hive You’re a wasp amongst the bees And it’s not my vibe We get together Time to go And pollinate the blooms Time to help the garden grow Buzzing this way and that Taking and giving back Spreading hope Spreading love Spreading sweetness Building trust Now you’ve shown your stripes And it’s not my vibe You sugar coat your hate Misquoting left as right We’ve got a sticky situation Building in the hive You’re a wasp amongst the bees And it’s not my vibe Oh how we’ve grown Time to split Find a new place to go And a new queen to enlist When push comes to shove Swarming over and above Making space Making moves Making new lives Finding grooves Now you’ve shown your stripes And it’s not my vibe You sugar coat your hate Misquoting left as right We’ve got a sticky situation Building in the hive You’re a wasp amongst the bees And it’s not my vibe Every time we turn our heads the other way When we tolerate what we know to be wrong When we close our eyes and ears When we are too busy or too frightened When we fail to speak up and speak out We strike a blow against Freedom, decency and justice Now you’ve shown your stripes And it’s not my vibe You sugar coat your hate Misquoting left as right We’ve got a sticky situation Building in the hive You’re a wasp amongst the bees And it’s not my vibe

The Magdalene Laundries 03:23
lyrics
I was an unmarried girl I'd just turned twenty-seven When they sent me to the sisters For the way men looked at me Branded as a Jezebel I knew I was not bound for Heaven I'd be cast in shame Into the Magdalene laundries Most girls come here pregnant Some by their own fathers Bridget got that belly by her parish priest We're trying to get things white as snow All of us woe-begotten-daughters In the streaming stains Of the Magdalene laundries Prostitutes and destitutes And temptresses like me Fallen women Sentenced into dreamless drudgery Why do they call this heartless place Our Lady of Charity? Oh, charity These bloodless brides of Jesus If they had just once glimpsed their groom Then they'd know, and they'd drop the stones Concealed behind their rosaries They wilt the grass they walk upon They leech the light out of a room They'd like to drive us down the drain At the Magdalene laundries Peg O'Connell died today She was a cheeky girl A flirt They just stuffed her in a hole Surely to God you'd think at least some bells should ring! One day I'm going to die here too And they'll plant me in the dirt Like some lame bulb That never blooms, come any spring Not any spring No, not any spring Not any spring
