With it’s lovely melody and sweet chord structure, very few people realised that Don Walker wrote the song about abortion.

Choir Girl
Cold Chisel
Looking like a choir girl
She’s crying like a refugee
Looking like a choir girl
She’s crying like a refugee
One nurse to hold her
One nurse to wheel her down the corridors of healing
Well I’ve been trying
But she’s crying like a refugee
Loves me like a sister
Loves me like an only child
Loves me like a sister
She loves me like an only child
She’s my connection, yeah
I’ll hold on, and never, never, never let her down
‘Cause she’s alone
And she loves me like an only child
(Suffer little children) suffer little children
(Send that little child to me) send that little child to me
(All day the doctor) all day the doctor
He handles his responsibility
(Looking like a choir girl, crying like a refugee)
(Looking like a choir girl, crying like a refugee)
She’s my connection, yeah, I’ll hold on
And never, never, never let her down
‘Cause she’s alone
And she’s crying like a refugee
Looking like a choir girl
She’s crying like a refugee
Looking like a choir girl
She’s crying like a refugee
Yes, she is…
