In the days when we had nothing
And the rent was overdue
We never ever worried
And we'd always see it through
We didn't mind the hard times
We just said 'I love you'
In the days when we had nothing we had fun.
But now the mortgage won't get smaller
And the rates are on the rise
The bills come every morning
And I find to my surprise
That with a house, a car, a fridge, a bar
And all that money buys
In the days when we had nothing we had fun.
In the days when we had nothing
But the dreams we knew we shared
There were empty shelves and old tin cans
But neither of us cared
We said 'we can't' we knew we shouldn't
Then we went and dared
In the days when we had nothing we had fun.
But now the mortgage won't get smaller
And the rates are on the rise
The bills come every morning
And I find to my surprise
That with a house, a car, a fridge, a bar
And all that money buys
In the days when we had nothing we had fun.
In the days when we had nothing
We had everything and more
We had all the years ahead
And there were years ahead below
But it's taken all those years for me
To find what living's for
Let's forget that we've got something and have fun
'Cos now the mortgage won't get smaller
And the rates are on the rise
The bills come every morning
And I find to my surprise
That with a house, a car, a fridge, a bar
And all that money buys
In the days when we had nothing
In the days when we had nothing
In the days when we had nothing we had fun.
