Maybe this song is also about the Magdalene laundries. "Exxon blue" the colour of the multitudes (all those poor unfortunates who populated those laundries for decades) uniforms. \nDoing the "dirty work" of the nuns until those hateful places were finally closed. There were still Magdalene laundries in operation Inn Ireland right up until the 1990\'s. Magdalena, the name speaks for itself.
