[00:42.69] i was an unmarried girl
[00:47.01] i'd just turned twenty-seven
[00:51.39] when they sent me to the sisters
[00:55.23] for the way men looked at me
[01:01.50] branded as a jezebel
[01:03.03] i knew i was not bound for heaven
[01:08.55] i?d be cast in shame
[01:10.56] into the magdalene laundries
[01:24.03] most girls come here pregnant
[01:28.71] some by their own fathers
[01:33.87] bridget got that belly
[01:36.69] by her parish priest
[01:42.54] we're trying to get things white as snow
[01:45.33] all of us woe-begotten-daughters
[01:50.04] in the streaming stains
[01:51.81] of the magdalene laundries
[02:06.72] prostitutes and destitutes
[02:09.81] and temptresses like me--
[02:14.94] fallen women--
[02:16.98] sentenced into dreamless drudgery ...
[02:23.52] why do they call this heartless place
[02:26.88] our lady of charity?
[02:32.40] oh charity!
[02:41.73] these bloodless brides of jesus
[02:44.25] if they had just once glimpsed their groom
[02:48.66] then they'd know, and they'd drop the stones
[02:53.22] concealed behind their rosaries
[03:00.15] they wilt the grass they walk upon
[03:02.22] they leech the light out of a room
[03:07.53] they?d like to drive us down the drain
[03:11.43] at the magdalene laundries
[03:23.31] peg o'connell died today
[03:27.36] she was a cheeky girl
[03:28.83] a flirt
[03:29.79] they just stuffed her in a hole!
[03:32.64] surely to god you?d think at least some bells should ring!
[03:41.61] one day i'm going to die here too
[03:44.97] and they'll plant me in the dirt
[03:50.67] like some lame bulb
[03:52.77] that never blooms come any spring
[03:58.89] not any spring
[04:40.44] no, not any spring
[04:45.03] not any spring
