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 eh
And then in thrity 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 but she just laughed
And said oh you're so funny I said yeah
Well I don'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
Cause 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 then dance and drink and screw
Cause there's nothing else to do oh
Sing along with the common people
Sing along and it might just get you throug
Laugh along with the common people
Laugh along although 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 and never warn you
Look out they'll tear your insides out
Cause everybody hates a tourist
Especially one who thinks it's all such a laugh
Yeah and the chip stain's 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
Cause when you're laid in bed at night
Watching roaches climb the wall
If you called your dad he could stop it all
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 cause there's nothing else to do
I want to live with common people like you
I want to live with common people like you
I want to live with common people like you
I want to live with common people like you
I want to live with common people like you
I want to live with common people like you
I want to live with common people like you lalalala oh lalalala
Hey lalalala hey lalalalalalala oh yeah
