It's always been that way in our house

Deep water's running cold

We just keep calm and we carry on

They say fortune favours the bold

It's always been that way in our house

It's always been that way

It's always been that way in our house

We've been thrown in at the deeper end

It's uphill most of the time

Once in a while we might catch a break

Only rest 'til the quarter chime

It's always been that way in our house

It's always been that way

It's always been that way in our house

The ways of life keep us on our toes

But you can't beat a heart full of gold

It's always been that way in our house

It's always been that way

It's always been that way in our house

It's always been there
