08 08 - Paul Young - Love Of The Common People Lyrics

(Ow, ah ah ya)

Living on free food tickets
Water in the milk from a hole in the roof
Where the rain came through, what can you do, mmm
Tears from your little sister
Crying because she doesnt have a dress without a patch
For the party to go but you know shell get by

Cause shes living in the love of the common people
Smiles from the heart of a family man (ah ah ya)
Daddys gonna buy you a dream to cling to
Mamas gonna love you just as much as she can (so cold)
And she can

Its a good thing you dont have busfare (its a good thing, ouch)
It would fall through the hole in your pocket and youd lose it
In the snow on the ground (ow, ah ah ya)
You gotta walk into town to find a job (whats it now)
Tryin to keep your hands warm (its so cold)
When the hole in your shoe let the snow come through
And chill you to the bone (brrr cha)
Somehow youd better go home where its warm

Where you can live in a love of the common people
Smile from the heart of a family man (ah ah ya)
Daddys gonna buy you a dream to cling to
Mamas gonna love you just as much as she can (so cold)
And she can

Living on a dream aint easy
But the closer the knit the tighter the fit (the closer the knit)
And the chills stay away (ow, ah ah ya)
Just to take em in stride for family pride
You know that faith is your foundation (ooh now, ooh now, ooh now)
With a whole lotta love and a warm conversation
But dont forget to pray (forget to pray)
Just making it strong where you belong

And were living in the love of the common people
Smiles from the heart of a family man (whats it now)
Daddys gonna buy you a dream to cling to
Mamas gonna love you just as much as she can (youre so cold)
And she can

Yes, were living in the love of the common people
Smiles from the heart of a family man (ah ah ya)
Daddys gonna buy you a dream to cling to
Mamas gonna love you just as much as she can (youre so cold)
Living in the love of the common people
Smiles from the heart of a family man (whats it now)
Daddys gonna buy you a dream to cling to
Mamas gonna love you just as much as she can (youre so cold)
Living in the love of the common people
Smiles really hard on a family man (ah ah ya)
Daddys gonna buy you a dream to cling to
Mamas gonna love you just as much as she can
And she can
