[00:00.00] 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] Step forward Stewart Bedson
[03:05.183] The magistrate said
[03:06.643] Over pine-Panelled wood leaned
[03:08.633] The face of the law
[03:10.463] We think you're a threat
[03:12.223] To property and justice
[03:14.352] Three years up the creek
[03:16.632] While we make sure
[03:35.693] Ward eight at the QE
[03:37.982] Somewhere down Woodville
[03:39.752] A smoky Grey Thursday take out your sword
[03:43.380] Stewie was born
[03:44.439] There was blood on the sheets
[03:47.78] Doctor was drunk
[03:48.88] And the sister was bored
