lyrics

Oh, it's wee-er and dearer she mumbles to herself
She's standing in the checkout oh she's tryna get some help
It's wee-er and dearer to feed the kids
And to live like her mum and daddy did

Oh it's wee-er and dearer these days
It's wee-er and dearer she says

Oh, It's wee-er and dearer he does pronounce
He's counting the price for ounce oh he's tryna heat the house
It's wee-er and dearer to fill the car
And to not even take it very far

Oh it's wee-er and dearer these days
It's wee-er and dearer he says

Oh, it's wee-er and dearer they have to shout
They counted all their pennies and they've gotta do without
It's wee-er and dearer to find a flat to rent
They're starting the month with all their money spent

Oh it's wee-er and dearer these days
It's wee-er and dearer they say

Oh, it's wee-er and dearer he cries
As another one of his best mates goes and dies
Oh, it's wee-er and dearer to care for your health
Spending years on a waiting list before topping yourself

Oh it's wee-er and dearer these days
Yeah, It's wee-er and dearer he says

Oh it's wee-er and dearer she says
Yeah, it's wee-er and dearer these days

Oh it's wee-er and dearer they say
Yeah, it's wee-er and dearer today

Oh it's wee-er and dearer to live
And to try and find any love to give

Oh, It's wee-er and dearer to survive
And it's wee-er and dearer to die
