Love Of The Common People Lyrics


Living on free food ticket,
Water in the milk froom the holes in the roof when the rain came through
What can you do o o o
Tears from your little sister,
Crying cos she doesn't have a dress but a patch oh poor little girl
But what do you know she'll get by
For she's been living in the love of a common people,
Smiles on the heart of a family man,
Daddy's gonna buy you twinkle twinkle
Mummy's gonna love till as much as she can
It's a good thing you don't have a bus fare
It will fall through the holes in your pocket and you loose it to the snow on
The ground
You got to get into town to find a job
Trying to keep your hands warm
But the holes in your shoes and the snow comes through boy chills you to the
Bone

I say you better go home where you'll be warm
And you will live in the love of a common people
Smiles on the heart of a family man
Daddy's gonna buy you twinkle twinkle
Mummy's gonna love till as much as she can,...she can,she can she cannnn
Living on dreams aint easy
The clothes underneath
The tighter they fit and the chill stay away
You got to put on your stride family pride
You know that faith is your foundation
With a whole lot of love and a warm conversation all over the place
I say you better go home
Where you'll be strong
And you will live in the love of a common people
Smiles on the heart of a family man
Daddy's gonna buy you twinkle twinkle
Mummy's gonna love till as much as she can.........
