Love Of The Common People

Joe Dolan

Transposer:

Written by: John David Hurley / Ronnie Stephen Wilkins [Verse 1] 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 because she doesn’t have A dress without a patch For the party to go But she knows she’ll get by [Chorus] ’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 And she can [Verse 2] 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 Somehow you’d better go home Where it’s warm [Chorus] 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 And she can [Verse 3] 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 With a whole lot of love And a warm conversation But don’t forget to pray It’s makin’ it strong Where you belong [Chorus] And we’re 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 Yes we’re living in The love of the common people Smile’s 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...

La chanson évoque la réalité difficile de la vie quotidienne pour certaines familles, confrontées à la précarité et à des conditions de vie modestes. Malgré les problèmes, il y a une force dans l’amour et la solidarité familiale qui permet de surmonter les épreuves. Les parents se battent pour offrir à leurs enfants des rêves et une affection inconditionnelle, même lorsque les ressources sont limitées. L'idée centrale est que l'amour et le soutien mutuel sont des trésors précieux, plus importants que les biens matériels. Le contexte de cette chanson reflète une époque où de nombreuses personnes vivaient des difficultés économiques, mais elle véhicule un message d'espoir et de résilience, montrant que l'union familiale peut apporter réconfort et force dans les moments difficiles. C’est un hommage au lien simple mais puissant qui unit les gens, même au cœur des luttes quotidiennes.
