Love of the Common People Lyrics
Living on free food tickets
Water in the milk from the hole in the roof
Where the rain came through
What can you do? hmm hmm
Tears from little sister
Crying 'cause she doesn't have a dress
Without a patch for the party to go
Oh but you know, she'll get by
She is living in the love of the common people
Smiles from the heart of a family man
Daddy's gonna buy her a dream to cling to
Mamma's gonna love her just as much as she can, as she can
It's a good thing you don't have bus fare
It would fall through the hole in your pocket
And you'd lose it in the snow on the ground
A walkin' to town to find a job
Trying to keep your hands warm
But the hole in your shoe let the snow come through
And the chills to the bone
Oh, you better go home where it's warm
Where 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
Mamma's gonna love you just as much as she can,as 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 that faith is your foundation
And with whole lotta love and a warm conversation
And plenty of prayer
Making you strong, where you belong
Where you can live in the love of the common people
Be the pride in the heart of a family man
Daddy's gonna buy you a dream to cling to
Mamma's gonna love her just as much as she can,as she can
(Grazie a Corrado per questo testo)
Meaning of Love of the Common People
“Love of the Common People” paints a poignant picture of resilience and finding strength within community. Paul Young’s song explores themes of poverty, hardship, and familial love, depicting a life lived simply with limited resources – free food, leaky roofs, and worn shoes. The lyrics highlight the struggles of everyday individuals, particularly a young girl facing social exclusion, yet they are sustained by the unwavering support and affection of their family and neighbors. It’s a celebration of “the common people,” emphasizing that true wealth lies not in material possessions but in shared experiences, heartfelt love, faith, and the comforting warmth of belonging. The repeated refrain underscores the idea that even amidst difficulty, connection and belief can provide a sanctuary – a place to find strength and ultimately, live a fulfilling life rooted in family pride and unwavering devotion.
