Lyrics 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, finds it hard some days to dress Stevie smashes 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, This means nothing to her father, because he's never even seen her. We sing, sing all our cares away We'll 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 tryin to toe the line Maggie's in a chair, 'twas joyriding put her there, She puts the kettle on the boil, and shes always got a smile We sing, sing all our cares away We'll live, to fight another day We sing, sing all our cares away, We'll 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, We grow strong.

LYRICS: Well, I took a stroll on the old long walk Of a day -I-ay-I-ay I met a little girl and we stopped to talk Of a fine soft day -I-ay-I-ay And I ask you, friend, what's a fella to do 'Cause her hair was black and her eyes were blue And I knew right then I'd be takin' a whirl 'Round the Salthill Prom with a Galway girl We were halfway there when the rain came down Of a day -I-ay-I-ay And she asked me up to her flat downtown Of a fine soft day -I-ay-I-ay And I ask you, friend, what's a fella to do 'Cause her hair was black and her eyes were blue So I took her hand and I gave her a twirl And I lost my heart to a Galway girl When I woke up I was all alone With a broken heart and a ticket home And I ask you now, tell me what would you do If her hair was black and her eyes were blue I've traveled around I've been all over this world Boys I ain't never seen nothin' like a Galway girl

Westward from the Davis Strait 'tis there 'twas said to lie The sea route to the Orient for which so many died; Seeking gold and glory, leaving weathered, broken bones And a long-forgotten lonely cairn of stones. (chorus) Three centuries thereafter, I take passage overland In the footsteps of brave Kelso, where his "sea of flowers" began Watching cities rise before me, then behind me sink again This tardiest explorer, driving hard across the plain. (chorus) And through the night, behind the wheel, the mileage clicking west I think upon Mackenzie, David Thompson and the rest Who cracked the mountain ramparts and did show a path for me To race the roaring Fraser to the sea. (chorus) How then am I so different from the first men through this way? Like them, I left a settled life, I threw it all away. To seek a Northwest Passage at the call of many men To find there but the road back home again. (chorus)
