Living on free food tickets

Water in the milk from the hole in the roof
Where the rain came through
What can we do? Mmm
Tears from your baby sister

Cryin' 'cause she doesn't have a dress
Without a patch for the party to go
Ah but you 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's gonna buy you a dream to cling to
Mummy's gonna love you just as much as she can
And she can

It's a good thing you don't have busfare

it would fall through the hole in your pocket
And you'd lose it in the snow on the ground
Walking to the town to find a job
Trying to keep your hands warm

But the hole in your shoe lets the snow come through
And it chills to the bone
Boy you better go home where it's warm

And you can live 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
Mummy's gonna love you just as much as she can
And she can

Living on dreams ain't easy
but the closer the knit the tighter the fit
And the chills stay away
You take them in stride, family pride
You know, faith is your foundation

With a whole lot of love
And a warm conversation and many a prayer
making you strong where you belong

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
Mummy's gonna love you just as much as she can
Yeah

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
Mummy's gonna love you just as much as she can

Yeah ... (repeat chorus and fade)

And she can

Son Şansın - Şarkı Sözleri
Hayalperest
This song seemingly tackles the methods of deception those who manipulate others use to get victims to follow their demands, as well as diverting attention away from important issues. They'll also use it as a means to convince people to hate or kill others by pretending acts of terrorism were committed by the enemy when the acts themselves were done by the masters of control to promote discrimination and hate. It also reinforces the idea that these manipulative forces operate in various locations, infiltrating everyday life without detection, and propagate any and everywhere. In general, it highlights the danger of hidden agendas, manipulation, and distraction, serving as a critique of those who exploit chaos and confusion to control and gain power, depicting a cautionary tale against falling into their traps. It encourages us to question the narratives presented to us and remain vigilant against manipulation in various parts of society.

Just A Little Lovin'
Dusty Springfield
I don't think it's necessarily about sex. It's about wanting to start the day with some love and affection. Maybe a warm cuddle. I'm not alone in interpreting it that way! For example: "'Just a Little Lovin’ is a timeless country song originally recorded by Eddy Arnold in 1954. The song, written by Eddie Miller and Jimmy Campbell, explores the delicate nuances of love and showcases Arnold’s emotive vocals. It delves into the universal theme of love and how even the smallest gesture of affection can have a profound impact on our lives." https://oldtimemusic.com/the-meaning-behind-the-song-just-a-little-lovin-by-eddy-arnold/

Blue
Ed Sheeran
“Blue” is a song about a love that is persisting in the discomfort of the person experiencing the emotion. Ed Sheeran reflects on love lost, and although he wishes his former partner find happiness, he cannot but admit his feelings are still very much there. He expresses the realization that he might never find another on this stringed instrumental by Aaron Dessner.
