Monday. Monday is the day I'm going to
join up for war service. I'll join up before I'm forced to,
in my way, in the Fredrick way, and I will survive the same way,
like I've always done. Of course, I knew
one day I'd be called up. I dreaded it, I never wanted it. I'd rather dance away my days than
join in the bloodshed, but tonight - tonight I finally realised
that the fight will come to me if I don't come to it first. And
I will fight for this bush village. For the bottle parties that have
come and gone, for sweet and complicated men
that have come and gone. And, yes, for Snakehips. And, yes, for the Cafe de Paris. But also for the theatres. Most of all, I'm going to fight for
the theatres and all the other places that never
closed their doors to men like me. That's if they even have doors

Monday.
00:00:03.000 --> 00:00:07.000
Monday is the day I'm going to
join up for war service.
00:00:07.000 --> 00:00:10.000
I'll join up before I'm forced to,
in my way, in the Fredrick way,
00:00:10.000 --> 00:00:14.000
and I will survive the same way,
like I've always done.
00:00:14.000 --> 00:00:16.000
Of course, I knew
one day I'd be called up.
00:00:16.000 --> 00:00:18.000
I dreaded it, I never wanted it.
00:00:18.000 --> 00:00:21.000
I'd rather dance away my days than
join in the bloodshed, but tonight -
00:00:21.000 --> 00:00:25.000
tonight I finally realised
that the fight will come to me
00:00:25.000 --> 00:00:28.000
if I don't come to it first. And
I will fight for this bush village.
00:00:30.000 --> 00:00:32.000
For the bottle parties that have
come and gone,
00:00:32.000 --> 00:00:34.000
for sweet and complicated men
that have come and gone.
00:00:34.000 --> 00:00:36.000
And, yes, for Snakehips.
00:00:36.000 --> 00:00:40.000
And, yes, for the Cafe de Paris.
00:00:40.000 --> 00:00:43.000
But also for the theatres.
00:00:43.000 --> 00:00:44.000
Most of all, I'm going to fight for
the theatres
00:00:44.000 --> 00:00:49.000
and all the other places that never
closed their doors to men like me.
00:00:49.000 --> 00:00:51.000
That's if they even have doors
to start with.
