lyrics

They laugh, they talk, they fall amongst the stalls
But it's not funny when they're crawling up the walls
Work from six to four, you answer to their calls
But it's not funny when you can't take anymore

Bottle up your sorrow you can't trade enough to make today tomorrow
So beg and steal or borrow can't your sadness make tomorrow be today

Your man's a rake, let the kids eat cake
Cos there's no help when you're desperate for a break
It's the shame that you can't shake when you can't afford the steak
Because mutton's not a moreish meal-y make

Bottle up your sorrow you can't trade enough to make today tomorrow
So beg and steal or borrow can't your sadness make tomorrow be today

Tea is getting cold it's not so bad growing old
When it's so easy to hide
And the holes in your stocking don't bring opportunity knocking
And let love step inside

Bottle up your sorrow you can't trade enough to make today tomorrow
So beg and steal or borrow can't your sadness make tomorrow be today
