 "Love Of The Common People"
 (originally by Paul Young)
 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
 Mama's gonna love you
 Just as much as she can, hmmm
 And she can
 Living on free food tickets
 Water in the milk
 From a hole in the roof
 Where the rain came through
 What can you do, hmmm?
 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
 Smiles 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, hmmm
 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
 Let the snow come through
 And chill you to the bone
 Now 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
 Daddy's gonna buy you
 A dream to cling to
 Mama's gonna love you
 Just as much as she can, hmmm
 Living on a dream ain't easy
 But the closer the knit
 The tighter the fit
 And the chills stay away
 'Cause we take 'em in stride
 For family pride
 You know that faith
 Is in your foundation
