Common People

She came from Greece, she had a thirst for knowledge
She studied sculpture at Saint Martins College
Thats where I caught her eye
She told me that her Dad was loaded
I said 'In that case Ill 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 'Ill see what I can do'
I took her to a supermarket
I dont know why
but I had to start it somewhere
so it started there
I said 'pretend youve got no money'
but she just laughed
and said 'oh youre so funny'
I said 'Yeah
Well I dont 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 didnt 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 youll never get it right
cos when youre laid in bed at night
watching roaches climb the wall
if you called your dad he could stop it all
yeah
Youll never live like common people
Youll never do whatever common people do
Youll never fail like common people
Youll never watch your life slide out of view
and then dance and drink and screw
cos theres nothing else to do
Sing along with the common people
Sing along and it might just get you throug
Laugh along with the common people
Laugh along although theyre laughing at you
and the stupid things that you do
because you think that poor is cool
Like a dog lying in a corner
they will bite and never warn you
Look out
theyll tear your insides out
cos everybody hates a tourist
especially one who thinks
its 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 youll never get it right
cos when youre laid in bed at night
watching roaches climb the wall
if you called your dad he could stop it all
Youll never live like common people
Youll never do whatever common people do
Youll never fail like common people
Youll never watch your life slide out of view
and dance and drink and screw
cos theres nothing else to do
I want to live with common people like you.....
