KATE KELLY'S REQUEST
(By Pete Doherty and Kate Henshaw of Lyrebird)

Now Annie's getting married. Mum's had the kid.
Fitzpatrick's still lying about those things that he did,
And it's getting harder to feed us all of the time.
You know the troopers keep coming around.
They asked everyone but there wasn't a sound.

When they call out my name,
Like they did the last time that they came,
When they call our my name,
Will you be there for me?

It's months since they took Mum and Alice away.
They'll never let 'em go; that's what they say,
But maybe you can trade, and they'll set them free.
You know the question keeps coming around.
I looked for an answer. There's none to be found.

When they call out my name,
Like they did the last time that they came,
When they call our my name,
Will you be there for me?

Oh, now, my brother,
Brother, where will you be?
When the hard rain is falling,
Will you be there for me?
When they call out my name,
Like they did the last time that they came,
When they call our my name,
Will you be there for me?
