Lyrics
Mary loves the grouse
Hides the bottles 'round the house
She watches chat-shows 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
'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
Because he's never even seen her
And we sing, we 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
Maggie's in a chair
'Twas joyriding put her there
She puts the kettle on the boil
And she's always got a smile
And we sing, we sing all our cares away
And we live to fight another day
Yeah we sing, we 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 all our cares away
