Текст песни Love of the Common People - Paul Young

(A-ah-e-ah, e-ah, e-ah, e-ah, e-ah, e-ah, e-ah, e-ah)

Living on free food tickets
Water in the milk from a hole in the roof where the rain came through
What can you do, hmm?
Tears from your little sister
Crying because 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
Smiles from the heart of a family man (a-ah-e-ah)
Daddy's gonna buy you a dream to cling to
Mama's gonna love you just as much as she can (It's so cold)
And she can

It's a good thing you don't have a bus fare (it's a good thing, ah-chh)
It would fall through the hole in your pocket and you'd lose it in the snow on the ground (a-ah-e-ah)
You got to walk into town to find a job (what's enough?)
Tryin' to keep your hands warm (it's so cold)
When the hole in your shoe let the snow come through and chill you to the bone (brr-cha)
Somehow you'd better go home where it's warm

Where you can live in the love of the common people
Smile from the heart of a family man (a-ah-e-ah)
Daddy's gonna buy you a dream to cling to
Mama's gonna love you just as much as she can (it's so cold)
And she can

Living on a dream ain't easy
But the closer the knit the tighter the fit (closer the knit)
And the chills stay away (a-ah-e-ah)
'Cause we take 'em in stride for family pride
You know that faith is in your foundation (ooh-na, ooh-na, ooh-na, ooh-na)
With a whole lot of love and a warm conversation
But don't forget to pray (forget to pray)
It's makin' it strong, where you belong

And we're living in the love of the common people
Smiles from the heart of a family man (good to know)
Daddy's gonna buy you a dream to cling to
Mama's gonna love you just as much as she can (it's so cold)
And she can

Yes, we're living in the love of the common people
Smile's from the heart of a family man (a-ah-e-ah)
Daddy's gonna buy you a dream to cling to
Mama's gonna love you just as much as she can (it's so cold)

Living in the love of the common people
Smiles from the heart of a family man (good to know)
Daddy's gonna buy you a dream to cling to
Mama's gonna love you just as much as she can (it's so cold)

Living in the love of the common people
Smile's really hard on a family man (a-ah-e-ah)
Daddy's gonna buy you a dream to cling to
Mama's gonna love you just as much as she can
And she can
