Mary loves the grouse
Hides the bottle roung the house
She watches chatshows and the soaps
broken hearted but she copes
Micheal's out of work
Feels he's sinking in the murk
He's unshaven and a mess
Finds it hard some days to dress
Steve smashed the delf
'Cause 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
But this means nothing to her father
'Cause he's never even seen her
And we sing
Sing all our cares away.
And we 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 trying to toe the line
Maggies in a chair
T'was joyriding put her there
She puts the kettle on the boil
And she's always gonna smile
And we sing
Sing all our cares away.
And we live
To fight another day
Yeah we sing
Sing all our cares away.
And we 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
And we sing
Sing all our cares away.
