Living on free food tickets
Water in the milk from the
hole in the roof
Where the rain came through
What can we do Mmm
Tears from your baby sister
Cryin' 'cause
she doesn't have a dress
Without a patch
for the party to go
Ah but you know
she'll get by
Because she's living in the
love of the common people
Smiles from the
heart of a family man
Daddy's gonna buy you a
dream to cling to
Mummy's gonna love you
just as much as she can
And she can
It's a good thing you
don't have busfare
it would fall through the
hole in your pocket
And you'd lose it in the
snow on the ground
Walking to the town
to find a job
Trying to
keep your hands warm
But the hole in your shoe
let's the snow come through
And it chills to the bone
Boy you better go home
where it's warm
And you can live in the
love of the common people
Smiles from the
heart of a family man
Daddy's gonna buy you a
dream to cling to
Mummy's gonna love you
just as much as she can
And she can
Living on dreams ain't easy
but the closer the knit
the tighter the fit
And the chills stay away
You take them in stride
family pride
You know
faith is your foundation
With a whole lot of love
And a warm conversation
and many a prayer
making you strong
where you belong
Living in the love of the
common people
Smiles from the
heart of a family man
Daddy's gonna buy you a
dream to cling to
Mummy's gonna love you
just as much as she can
Yeah
Living in the love of the
common people
Smiles from the
heart of a family man
Daddy's gonna buy you a
dream to cling to
Mummy's gonna love you
just as much as she can
Yeah
