The Hampden Bridge restoration project song<br />
by Andy Gordon<br />
Hampden Bridge was falling down<br />
The Hall was full that night in town<br />
We came to have our say.<br />
The bridge was rotting out it seems<br />
You should’ve seen the lower beams<br />
T’was judgement day<br />
With consultants, PowerPoints and screens<br />
The RTA had planned, it seems<br />
To shut us down, the death <strong>of</strong> town.<br />
But what they hadn’t reckoned right<br />
Was the fight we would put up that night<br />
And the ensuing days, in every way.<br />
What started badly came around<br />
Another meeting with the town<br />
“Listen and learn”, an about turn.<br />
Two blocks <strong>of</strong> night-work was the shot<br />
While we are tucked up in our cots<br />
Hard to believe, harder to achieve.<br />
A shuttle bus to get around<br />
Franz’ll run you into town<br />
A quite good fix, no government tricks<br />
So hat’s <strong>of</strong>f to Adam Berry<br />
He could’ve done it differently<br />
But he did not, mate, that’s the shot!<br />
And here’s to Cheryl keeping us in line<br />
“Mind your head just here, no wasting time”<br />
She’s a task master, we need more like her<br />
This is the Hampden Bridge Restoration<br />
Project Song<br />
For the team who work at night, they missed<br />
State <strong>of</strong> Origin.<br />
Ross Murphy has four in his crew<br />
From Dubbo, Bathurst, Lithgow too<br />
A lonely life, far from your wife.<br />
Bill McKenna’s known as Aloysius<br />
His dinners are simply delicious<br />
A MasterChef, no food is left, the plates are<br />
clean, an older team.<br />
Sam, Eddie, Tas, Mark, Mick, Eli<br />
Together they’re the younger guys<br />
Night work’s extra pay, away from home’s OK.<br />
It’s bridges that these guys repair<br />
They’ve been just about everywhere<br />
It’s what they do, for me and you.<br />
This is the Hampden Bridge Restoration<br />
Project Song<br />
It’s repaired with care, that’s why it takes so<br />
long.<br />
The girders are the first in line<br />
Completed in the nick <strong>of</strong> time<br />
A flood one night, the pontoon’s out <strong>of</strong> sight.<br />
The stringers are six metres long<br />
Trewhella Jacks, the night draws on<br />
It’s cold as ice, hands don’t work right.<br />
The decking goes down easily<br />
Though drilling up from underneath<br />
Is not much fun, the timber’s strong, the bolts<br />
are long.<br />
The sheeting, that’s the bit we see<br />
We drive over it every day<br />
A lovely job, worth every bob.<br />
Hampden Bridge will still be here<br />
Standing in one hundred years<br />
Thank you men, our bridge is new again<br />
This is the Hampden Bridge Restoration<br />
Project Song<br />
Our little bridge, may it long live on.<br />
