Lyrics
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 you know she'll get by
'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
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
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
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
And she can
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 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
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
And 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
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
Living in the love of the common people
Smile's really hard
On 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

Im in love with the backup singers

[@CrueLoaf]

They are amazing and look like they haven’t a care in the world. Great days!

[@jesterschameleon1862]

Me too 😍😍

[@Steve...66....]

Kim and Maz. Known as The Fabulous Wealthy Tarts

[@CrueLoaf]

Always loved the joyous yet pseudo-nonchalant performance from the two girls. Great days!

[@godaiyusaku524]

Un giovane Paul con la sua calda ed inconfondibile voce.. e le due ragazze coriste assolute padrone del palco. Magia. Gli anni '80 davvero un'altra vita. Un altro mondo......

[@thefreshprinceofdapto1668]

The interaction and choreography between Maz and Kim is actually incredible on this.

[@mgparis]

I'm sitting here with *goosebumps* and tears running down my face... the memories of happier, simple times that will never return. Thank you Paul for your talent and always being a class act!

When the help clearly outshines (with their headlights), their genius host 🎉

[@Euadam]

What the hell are you talking about? The Dolly Mixtures were bloody awful backing singers and Paul Young was FAR from a genius, he could only sing cover songs.

[@sebastianwood3741]

I agree. I think this is the best backing perfoance ever.

[@benjaminvandenbussche5666]

Great (daring) live version of the song, indeed pure professionalism of Kim & Maz as backings : total show ! Nostalgia !!!

[@tachoservice]

Thanks to Paul and his band with The Fabulous Wealthy Tarts for warmest flashbacks of my life from 1984...

[@KametaBoucher-ei6cc]

I like this song

[@peterhamilton6464]

I ship that Paul is presently frolicking with his two sirens 🎉🎉🎉

[@mctavish23]

The Fabulously Wealthy Tarts are my favorite backup singers (for one of my favorite artists)

[@Dermot2927]

I wore out a Betamax tape, watching this over and over again. It put a huge strain on my marriage, which was to last only another seven years.

[@yakainhell]

🤣

[@CrueLoaf]

I remember this performance was around Christmas time.

[@NJJ77]

When singers could sing. No auto tune here.

[@helmerrodriguez979]

Love paul young FOREVER

[@thefreshprinceofdapto1668]

That was superb.....even better than the studio version which is one of my favourite songs from the 1980's

They are lip syncing on totp mate . It is the studio version .

[@danyoutube7491]

@@maxgrossmann1636 You're 100% right, from the first word it's clear that they are singing live, very good singing from Paul Young.

[@norbertsmallegange6331]

Not true

[@thathawaiiandude787]

When this came out back in my high school days it was my favorite of all Paul’s stuff. I could even sing every part of his backup singers, THE FABULOUS WEALTHY TARTS 😁 I’m happy to see someone was able to upload one with them doing a live version with Paul. STILL play still regularly on my work playlists 🤙🏾🤙🏾 Thanks for sharing 🤙🏾 Much Aloha

[@christinabeasley600]

Great Great singer, very creative.

[@lookylookie]

Goodness,wasn’t expecting that …🙂

[@TriWayne62]

The girls are the one's who are the absolute stars. Paul, mate your wonderful, but this song has always belonged to the backing vocals. In clubs, at parties, it is the backing vocals we jive too. No insults to PY, but this song is legendary for one reason, the girl. The extended version is absolute 'gold dust'. PY love ya work mate, but great to where it is due

[@ivogiulitti5633]

Amazing

[@MrRantinrob]

If you look very closely in the background you can see Paul Young.

[@eileenkehoe6261]

What! That's not Paul..is it..it's..it's somebody else..

[@thebassbat7882]

as Paul said, it's a band. the royal family.

[@trondsteensns8670]

This is one of my favorite KZbin comments ever. I can't wrap my head around the fact that people don't get that what the OP is referring to is the fact that the producer more or less ignores Paul and gives the backup singers a massive amount of on-screen time. Bless him and the braless girls. Great tune btw.

[@thebassbat7882]

@@trondsteensns8670 that's why I really love Paul. he had no ego and respected his band. I remember him saying that his band the royal family is one of the greatest bands and he is just the singer.

[@edeledeledel5490]

@@trondsteensns8670 Jules Holland said in a nostalgic documentary about The Tube that the producer was so obsessed with The Fabulously Wealthy Tarts that he invited Paul Young back the next week, the first time an artist had appeared two weeks running...

I had forgotten just how pert his backing singers could be, but then they were known as The Fabulous Wealthy Tarts

Absolutely amazing Always Paul. About to leave this mortal coil. ❤🤲🙏✊️

Paul, and the girls (Paul's sister and friend I think) are soo good. Sorry no. The Fabulous Wealthy Tarts, Maz Roberts and Kim Leslie are not related but Maz married Paul's fret-less bassist from Cardiff, Pino Palladino, whose dad is from Southern Italy.
