Come here m’lad, I’ve got something to say
Me and yer ma, well she’s going away
She’s got a new lover, her name is Jill
At least that way she don’t need no pill
And while I’m about it, I’m gonna come clean
Late nights at the office, I was with yer Aunt Jean
But remember one thing, when things seem bad....
It could be worse
It could be worse
An’ there’s yer sister, just crazy like that...
Her real dad was yer mum’s tick-tack
Yer brother’s a graduate of borstal and crime
Football ‘n’ banks, he’s now doin’ time
Drinking and gambling have left me with debt
The house gotta go, an’ life’s like that
But remember one thing, when things go bad
It could be worse (backing vocal: cos love’s supreme)
It could be worse (backing vocal: cos love’s supreme)
Whatever you do don’t worry don’t fret
Life’s jus’ a game, you give an’ you get
Don’t get blue, don’t get sad
Blue an’ sad can send you mad
You gotta get along, whatever might come
It’s OK to cry, hold yer head up high
And remember one thing, when things go bad
It could be worse (backing vocal: cos love’s supreme)
It could be worse (backing vocal: cos love’s supreme)
