Biografia:
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.

Scorn of the Women – Weddings, Parties, Anything
G D
I remember respectfully like others before me
A
All those folk who fell in the war
G D
And I hear you singing songs of lamentation
A D
But I don’t wish to hear them no more
A G A
What did you do in the time of the war? It’s a question asked by everyone
G D A D
I stood in a line my screwdriver in hand making aircraft out at Laverton
G D
So don’t sing no songs about Waltzing Matilda
A G A G
Don’t tell me I tried, don’t tell me I failed
G D
For all I recall is the scorn of the women
A D
And a white feather that I received in the mail
G D
I remember the day I went down to enlist
A
And they said “Read this chart on the wall”
G D
I remember the tone of the voice of the doctor
A D
As he said to me: “That will be all. Thank you very much”
A G A
Riding home slowly I sat on my tram not sure if to laugh or to cry
G D
For to train in the camps, sure, a man needs his lamps
A D
And a good soldier he must have good eyes
Chorus
G D
Well it takes more than bullets to murder and maim
A
Whether worn down or beaten a death’s still a death
G D
And you know sometimes when I think back to the forties
A D
I pray for my very last breath
A
You know I have nothing against those who fought
G A
But for Christ’s sake we do what we can
G D
And there’s more than one way that you can skin a cat
A D
And there’s more than one way you can cripple a man
Chorus
