Sing All Our Cares Away

Mary loves the grouse, hides the bottles round the house

She watches chatshows and the soaps, broken-hearted but she copes

Michael's out of work, feels he's sinking in the murk

He's unshaven and a mess, finds it hard some days to dress

Stevie smashed the delf, 'cos he can't express himself

He's consumed by rage, like his father at his age

Rita's little child, has a lovely little smile

This means nothing to her father, because he's never even seen her

We sing, sing all our cares away

We'll live, to fight another day

Joey's off the gear, he's been clean for half a year

He gets bored out of his mind, but he's tryin to toe the line

Maggie's in a chair, 'twas joyriding put her there

She puts the kettle on the boil, and she's always got a smile

We sing, sing all our cares away

We'll live, to fight another day

We sing, sing all our cares away

We'll live, to love another day

We grow strong, from it all

We grow strong, or we fall

We grow strong, from it all

We grow strong, or we fall

We grow strong
