The Rebel Black Dot Song of the Day

The Proclaimers, "Sing All Our Cares Away" from Notes & Rhymes (The Last Angry Man)

Commentary:
"Mary loves a grouse,
Hides the bottles 'round the house,
She watches chat shows and the soaps,
Brokenhearted, 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 Delft
'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 met 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 but 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.
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 all our cares away."
