Love Of The Common People Lyrics - Tomb Of Memories: The Cbs Years (1982-1994) - Paul Young

Living on free food tickets 

Water in the milk from a hole in the roof 

Where the rain came through 

What can you do? 

Tears from your little sister 

Crying 'cause she doesn't have a dress 

Without a patch for the party to go 

But you know she'll get by 

'Cause she's living in the love of the common people 

Smile's from the heart of a family man 

Daddy's gonna buy you a dream to cling to 

Mama's gonna love you just as much as she can, and she can 

It's a good thing you don't have a bus fare 

It would fall through the hole in your pocket and you'd lose it 

In the snow on the ground 

You got to walk into town to find a job 

Tryin' to keep your hands warm 

When the hole in your shoe lets the snow come through 

And chills you to the bone 

Now you'd better go home where it's warm 

Where you can live in a love of the common people 

Smile from the heart of a family man 

Daddy's gonna buy you a dream to cling to 

Mama's gonna love you just as much as she can, and she can 

Living on a dream ain't easy 

But the closer the knit, the tighter the fit 

And the chills stay away 

Keeping 'em in stride for family pride 

You know that faith is in your foundation 

And with a whole lot of love and a warm conversation 

But don't forget to pray 

'Cause making it strong where you belong 

And we're living in the love of the common people 

Smile's from the heart of a family man 

Daddy's gonna buy you a dream to cling to 

Mama's gonna love you just as much as she can, and she can 

Yes, we're living in the love of the common people 

Smile's from the heart of a family man 

Daddy's gonna buy you a dream to cling to 

Mama's gonna love you just as much as she can 

Living in the love of the common people 

Smile's from the heart of a family man 

Daddy's gonna buy you a dream to cling to 

Mama's gonna love you just as much as she can 

Living in the love of the common people 

Smile's really hard on a family man 

Daddy's gonna buy you a dream to cling to 

Mama's gonna love you just as much as she can, and she can
