Stiff Little Fingers - Love Of The Common People LYRICS

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
