Proclaimers Sing All Our Cares Away
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 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 tried to toe the line.
Maggie's in a chair, t'was joy riding put her there.
She puts the kettle on to boil and she always got a 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.
