lyrics

Try to hang tight baby though our money’s all spent
spent our last long euro, spent our last 50 cent
And although we haven’t bought new clothes for years
come on baby, let’s swallow them tears
come on baby, let’s swallow some tears

No we’ve never known riches since we started this tune
Never even had ourselves a real honeymoon
Though we spent 10 years below the poverty line
Come on baby, it’ll turn out fine
come on baby, it will be fine

Let’s have a laugh and turn the other cheek
This here bag of carrots gonna last us a week
Let’s just drink some cheap wine and pretend our love doesn’t hang by the poverty line
it don’t hang by the poverty line
The poverty line

Try to hang tight baby though our money’s all spent
This here love’s our home though we can’t afford the rent
Baby I still dream that one day side by side we’ll cross over the poverty line
We’ll cross over the poverty line
the poverty line
