• Common People

She came from Greece, she had a thirst for knowledge
She studied sculpture at Saint Martin's College
That's where I...
...caught her eye
She told me that her Dad was loaded
I said: "In that case I'll have rum and coca-cola"
She said: "Fine"
And then in 30 seconds time she said:

"I want to live like common people
I want to do whatever common people do
I want to sleep with common people
I want to sleep with common people like you"

Well what else could I do?
I said: "I'll see what I can do"

I took her to a supermarket
I don't know why
But I had to start it somewhere
So it started there
I said: "Pretend you've got no money"
She just laughed
And said: "Oh you're so funny"
I said: "Yeah!
Well I can't see anyone else smiling in here
Are you sure?
You want to live like common people
You want to see whatever common people see
You want to sleep with common people
You want to sleep with common people like me?"
But she didn't understand
She just smiled and held my hand

Rent a flat above a shop
Cut your hair and get a job
Smoke some fags and play some pool
Pretend you never went to school
But still you'll never get it right
When you're laid in bed at night
Watching roaches climb the wall
If you called your dad he could stop it all, yeah

You'll never live like common people
You'll never do whatever common people do
You'll never fail like common people
You'll never watch your life slide out of view
And dance and drink and screw
Because there's nothing else to do
(Because there's nothing else to do!)

Sing along with the common people
Sing along and it might just get you through
Laugh along with the common people
Laugh along even though they're laughing at you
And the stupid things that you do
'Cause you think that poor is cool

Like a dog lying in a corner
They'll bite you and never warn you
Look out!
They'll tear your insides out
'Cause everybody hates a tourist
'Cause everybody hates a tourist
Especially one who thinks
It's all such a laugh
Yeah, and the chip stains grease
Will come out in the bath
You will never understand
How it feels to live your life
With no meaning or control
And with nowhere else to go
You are amazed that they exist
And they burn so bright
While you can only wonder why

Rent a flat above a shop
Cut your hair and get a job
Smoke some fags and play some pool
Pretend you never went to school
But still you'll never get it right
When you're laid in bed at night
Watching roaches climb the wall
If you called your dad he could stop it all, yeah

You'll never live like common people
You'll never do whatever common people do
You'll never fail like common people
You'll never watch your life slide out of view
And dance and drink and screw
Because there's nothing else to do

(Wanna sleep with common people like you!)
(Wanna sleep with common people like you!)
(Wanna sleep with common people like you!)
