\nOn a windy Saturday Afternoon<\/span>
\nThey sky isn\u2019t grey but it\u2019s getting that way.<\/span>
\nHousewives are rushing by,<\/span>
\nThey all have groceries to buy.<\/span>
\nThe shops all display their full range of goods<\/span>
\nfrom Dairy butter to raincoat hoods<\/span>
\nMarmalade to Appleade<\/span>
\nPints of milk to wool and silk<\/span>
\nMagazine and windowlean<\/span>
\nBudgie seed \u2013 in fact all you need.<\/span>
\n
<\/span>
\nChorus<\/span>
\nIn the Precinct of Mary\u2019s<\/span><\/i>
\nIn the Precinct of Mary\u2019s<\/span><\/i>
\nThe Modern traffic free shopping centre.<\/span><\/i>
\n
<\/span>
\nThere\u2019s a barber in the end row, you know<\/span>
\nA recommended place to go.<\/span>
\nAn adjacent hardware store is far superior<\/span>
\nTo their central branch.<\/span>
\nSigns that con you and cast spells upon you<\/span>
\nAppealing to emotions<\/span>
\nIn aid of commercial promotions.<\/span>
\nPricy sales and pan scales<\/span>
\nMind arresting windows,<\/span>
\nPeople treading on your toes.<\/span>
\nPassing through anxious crowds<\/span>
\nMinds full of household clouds.<\/span>
\nEmptying purses and worried curses.<\/span>
\n<\/span><\/p>\n

\n
<\/span>
\nNeon displays always pays,<\/span>
\nIn the midst of a commercial haze.<\/span>
\nOver-burdened shopping bags,<\/span>
\nEye straining price tags.<\/span><\/span><\/div>\n
\n
<\/span>
\nSt. Mary\u2019s bells are ringing<\/span>
\nChildren run around singing.<\/span><\/span><\/div>\n
\n

\nTo chorus.<\/span><\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
