Living on free food tickets
Water in the milk from the hole in the roof
Where the rain came through
What can you do? hmm hmm
Tears from little sister
Crying 'cause she doesn't have a dress
Without a patch for the party to go
Oh but you know,she'll get by
She is living in the love of the common people
Smiles from the heart of a family man
Daddy's gonna buy her a dream to cling to
Mamma's gonna love her just as much as she can, as 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
A walkin' to town to find a job
Trying to keep your hands warm
But the hole in your shoe let the snow come through
And the chills to the bone
Oh,you better go home where it's warm
Where 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
Mamma's gonna love her just as much as she can, as 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 that faith is your foundation
And with whole lotta love and a warm conversation
And plenty of prayer
Living on free food tickets
Water in the milk from the hole in the roof
Where the rain came through
What can you do? hmm hmm
Tears from little sister
Crying 'cause she doesn't have a dress
Without a patch for the party to go
Oh but you know,she'll get by
She is living in the love of the common people
Smiles from the heart of a family man
Daddy's gonna buy her a dream to cling to
Mamma's gonna love her just as much as she can,as 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
A walkin' to town to find a job
Trying to keep your hands warm
But the hole in your shoe let the snow come through
And the chills to the bone
Oh,you better go home where it's warm
Where 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
Mamma's gonna love her just as much as she can,as 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 that faith is your foundation
And with whole lotta love and a warm conversation
And plenty of prayer
Making you strong,where you belong
Where you can live in the love of the common people
Be the pride in the heart of a family man
Daddy's gonna buy you a dream to cling to
Mamma's gonna love her just as much as she can,as she can
Water in the milk from the hole in the roof
Where the rain came through
What can you do? hmm hmm
Tears from little sister
Crying 'cause she doesn't have a dress
Without a patch for the party to go
Oh but you know,she'll get by
She is living in the love of the common people
Smiles from the heart of a family man
Daddy's gonna buy her a dream to cling to
Mamma's gonna love her just as much as she can, as she can
It's a good thing you don't have bus fare

Trying to keep your hands warm
But the hole in your shoe let the snow come through
And the chills to the bone
Oh,you better go home where it's warm
Where 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
Mamma's gonna love her just as much as she can, as she can
Living on dreams ain't easy
But the closer the knit,the tighter the fit
And the chills stay away

Mountain Song
Jane's Addiction
Jane's Addiction
Jane's Addiction vocalist Perry Farrell gives Adam Reader some heartfelt insight into Jane’s Addiction's hard rock manifesto "Mountain Song", which was the second single from their revolutionary album Nothing's Shocking. Mountain song was first recorded in 1986 and appeared on the soundtrack to the film Dudes starring Jon Cryer. The version on Nothing's Shocking was re-recorded in 1988.
"'Mountain Song' was actually about... I hate to say it but... drugs. Climbing this mountain and getting as high as you can, and then coming down that mountain," reveals Farrell. "What it feels to descend from the mountain top... not easy at all. The ascension is tough but exhilarating. Getting down is... it's a real bummer. Drugs is not for everybody obviously. For me, I wanted to experience the heights, and the lows come along with it."
"There's a part - 'Cash in now honey, cash in Miss Smith.' Miss Smith is my Mother; our last name was Smith. Cashing in when she cashed in her life. So... she decided that, to her... at that time, she was desperate. Life wasn't worth it for her, that was her opinion. Some people think, never take your life, and some people find that their life isn't worth living. She was in love with my Dad, and my Dad was not faithful to her, and it broke her heart. She was very desperate and she did something that I know she regrets."
Just A Little Lovin'
Dusty Springfield
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/
