words to Everyday filched from saw docs website

             The official statistics for last year state that over a thousand
             young Irish women went on a joyless journey to Britain. An
                           average of three a day.
                                 Everyday

                         Everyday she's on the boat
                         When it pulls out from the quay
                      Far from small town eyes she floats
                            Across the Irish Sea
                   She's the girl you know from down the road
                      She's your one from out the other side
                        There's a rumor she's in trouble
                           She's all mixed up inside

                                 Everyday

                      She's wondering what they're thinking
                        Do they know what's going on?
                        She feels examined by their eyes
                         Is she right or is she wrong?
                        She's got a number in her pocket
                         And one change of clothes
                            Her innocence is fading
                         Like last years winter snow's

                                 Everyday

                         Light a candle in the window
                         So she can see it from the road
                         With all the loving in your heart
                           Welcome her back home

                                 Everyday
