Biografía:
Weddings Parties Anything, often known as WPA and Weddoes, is an Australian folk rock band formed by Mick Thomas in Melbourne in 1985 and continuing until 1998. Their name came from a Clash song ("Revolution Rock") and musicologist Billy Pinnell described their first album as the best Australian rock debut since Skyhooks' Living in the '70s.
WPA initially gained a reputation as a hot new band through their constant touring in their early days, however they never really became a commercial success.

D F#m
I spent my youth down by the markets near the docks
G A G F# Em
and we went chasing all the wharfies girls in their cheap floral frocks
D F#m
I spent my money at them waterside hotels
G A G F# Em
We were regulars at all of them the barmen knew us well
F#m Bm G
Six o'clock was closing then we would swill then travel home
F#m Bm A
or drink some bottles on the beach
F#m Bm G
Then when winter came around we'd head down to the oval
F#m Bm A
and we'd stand there in the freezing cold, watch our heroes train
[Chorus]
G A D A G
Because there's just so many tricks that an old dog he can learn
G F# Em F#m Em D
and I will spend my life a waiting 'til the Swans return
D F#m
I earnt my money doing this and doing that
G A G F# Em
I could never seem to stick at anything
D F#m
I'd turn my hand to almost any job of work
G A G F# Em
and it was funny how my luck would run, I'd look after number one
F#m Bm G
Then when the depression came it was time to hit the track
F#m Bm A
There was no point starving in the town
F#m Bm G
Told my Mum that I would write, and my old man that I'd be back
F#m Bm A
By footy season couldn't let our heroes down
[Chorus]
G A D A G
Because there's just so many tricks that an old dog he can learn
G F# Em F#m Em D
and I will spend my life a waiting 'til the Swans return
[Bridge]
F#m Bm
Well I was down the Star and Garter when the news it came
F#m G A
nothin' anyone could do nor anyone could say
F#m Bm
So we will fill a flowing glass to a team that's gone
F#m G A
but we're drinking to the red and white (to some of us it'll always be South Melbourne)
[Chorus]
G A D A G
Because there's just so many tricks that an old Blood he can learn
G F# Em
and I will spend my life a waiting
G F# Em
I will spend my life a hating
G F# Em F#m Em D
Oh I can't do nought but bleeding, 'til the Swans return
I spent my youth down by the markets near the docks
G A G F# Em
and we went chasing all the wharfies girls in their cheap floral frocks
D F#m
I spent my money at them waterside hotels
G A G F# Em
