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 a rum and coke-cola She said fine and in thirty 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 'Cos when you're laid in bed at night watching roaches climb the wall Find more lyrics at ※ Mojim.com If you call your Dad he could stop it all You'll never live like common people You'll never do what 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
Sing along with the common people Sing along and it might just get you thru' Laugh along with the common people Laugh along even though they're 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 you and never warn you, look out They'll tear your insides out 'Cos everybody hates a tourist Especially one who thinks it all such a laugh And the chip stains and 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 left to go You are amazed that they exist And they burn so bright whilst you can only wonder why
Wanna live like common people like you
