Thanks for the start, NightWing. Here's how I'd fill in the gaps. "Sandilands" is apparently a neighborhood in Lincolnshire. The Lincolnshire area is (so says Wikipedia) known for its marshy terrain, especially along the coastline.
TANIA JUST WANTS TO GO HOME (Enda Kenny)
They're peelin' their labels, chairs on the tables Tania just wants to go home She's pickin' up glasses and knockin' back passes Tania just wants to go home The bottle shop's shutters are down to the ground A Sandilands band sings a swampy old sound It's a Sunday night on a holy ground But Tania just wants to go home
The accordion player was always a stayer Tania just wants to go home She don't need no man in her old panel van Tania just wants to go home It's been too long a weekend, too many VDs (that's "Victoria District") Too many cowboys, too many CDs (that's "Common Ground") Somebody order a taxicab please 'Cause Tania just wants to go home
CHORUS Tania just wants to go out the door, down the road Tania just wants to go home Tania just wants to go more than you'll ever know Tania just wants to go home
She's pulling the pins from yesterday's braces Tania just wants to go home Tired of the grins on our boozy old faces Tania just wants to go home A warm bath is waiting, a book by the bed Tania's got only one thought in her head Tall, dark, and handsome, her horoscope says Tania just wants to go home
CHORUS
They're peelin' their labels, chairs on the tables Tania just wants to go home She's pickin' up glasses and knockin' back passes Tania just wants to go home The bottle shop's shutters are down to the ground A Sandilands band sings a swampy old sound It's a Sunday night on a holy ground Tania just wants to go home

Seems to be a song about a waitress just waiting for the hangers-on, perhaps more specifically the band, to leave so she can enjoy some peace and quiet. She's also been worn out from tourists over the course of the day.
