Love Of The Common People

Stiff Little Fingers

Living on Government hand-outs
Water in the milk from a hole in the roof
Where the rain comes through
What can you do? You can't move

You got tears from your little sister
Crying cos she don't have a dress without a patch in
For the party to go
Aw, but you know she'll get by cos she's....

(Chorus:)
Living in the love of the common people
Smiles through the heart of the family man
Poppa's gonna buy you a dream to cling to
Momma's gonna love you just as much as she can
And she can

It's a good think you don't have bus fares
They would fall through a hold in you pocket and you'd lose 'em
In the snow on the ground
You gotta walk into town to get a job

Trying to keep yourself warm
But the hole in your shoe lets the snow comes through
And chills you to the bone
So you better go home where it's warm and you can

(Chorus)

Living on dreams ain't easy
