The Proclaimers - Sing All Our Cares Away lyrics

(Song by Damien Dempsey) 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 Fnds 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 But this means nothing to her father Because 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 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, sing all our cares away And we live to fight another day And 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 all our cares away
