Live 21 Oct 2006 version
[Spoken intro:] Gracias, thank you! Ohh, alright. Here we got a... ??? porqua esta canción por primera vez par Valencia!
One, two, three!
Living on free food tickets
Water in the milk from the hole in the roof
Where the rain come through
What can you do? Hmm hmm
Tears from your little sister
Crying 'cause she don't have a dress without a patch
For the party to go
But she'll know she'll get by
Because she's living in the love of the common people
Smiles from the heart of a family man
Daddy gonna buy you a dream to cling to
Mama's gonna love you just as much as she can, as she can
It's a good thing you don't have any bus fare
To fall through the hole in your pocket
And you'd lose it in the snow on the ground
Gonna be walking to town to find a job
Trying to keep your hands warm
A hole in your shoe lets snow come through
Chill you to the bone
And you better go home where it's warm
You can live in the love of the common people
Smile in the heart of a family man
Daddy gonna buy you a dream to cling to
Mama's gonna love you just as much as she can, as she can
(Hoo-hoo, hoo-hoo, hoo-hoo)
Go!
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, as she can
Living on a dream ain't easy
The closer the knit the tighter the fit
And the chills stay away
You can take 'em in stride for the family pride
Faith is in your foundation
With a whole lotta love and a warm conversation
But don't forget to pray
Making you strong where you belong
Living in the love of the common people
Smile from the heart of a family man
Daddy gonna buy you a dream to cling to
Mama's gonna love you just as much as she can
Living in the love of the common people
Smile from the heart of a family man
Daddy gonna buy you a dream to cling to
Mama's gonna love you just as much as she can
Living in the love of the common people
Smile from the heart of a family man
Daddy gonna buy you a dream to cling to
Mama's gonna love you just as much as she can, as she can
(Hoo-hoo, hoo-hoo, hoo-hoo, hoo-hoo)
