Grin And Bear It (Acoustic) - The Strypes (条纹四合唱团)[00:00:00]

Written by：Ross Farrelly/Josh McClorey/Pete O'Hanlon/Evan Walsh[00:00:01]

She left the friends she had in school[00:00:19]

Slipped into the typing pool[00:00:22]

Gave herself up to dictation[00:00:26]

Barely sixteen years of age[00:00:32]

Taking home a working wage[00:00:36]

An envelope of expectation[00:00:39]

He was older[00:00:46]

He had a car[00:00:49]

The things he told her[00:00:52]

Made her feel the part[00:00:55]

She took a test when she was late[00:00:59]

Moved into the new estate[00:01:02]

Fingers wag behind the curtains[00:01:06]

She started out with intentions[00:01:12]

But life's demands were unrelenting[00:01:15]

To say that words are impotent[00:01:18]

Is a mouthful in itself but it fits the bill[00:01:21]

Resorting to a family phrase[00:01:25]

Just grin and bear it[00:01:27]

Just grin and bear it[00:01:31]

She cut her hair and stayed at home[00:01:37]

Did the shopping on her own[00:01:41]

Subsidized by half price tokens[00:01:44]

Consoled herself with books on love[00:01:51]

Damp creeps in on the walls above[00:01:54]

The shower works when it's not broken[00:01:57]

He put paid[00:02:04]

To her trust[00:02:07]

Having fun[00:02:10]

With boys and toys of lust[00:02:13]

And now she's better on her own[00:02:35]

With the soaps and woman's own[00:02:38]

It's been an adult education[00:02:41]

And he reflects on what he's lost[00:02:48]

Took a gamble paid the cost[00:02:51]

Sees the kids at graduations[00:02:54]

Resorting to a family phrase[00:03:00]

Just grin and bear it[00:03:03]

Just grin and bear it[00:03:06]

Just grin and bear it[00:03:10]

Just grin and bear it[00:03:13]
