Common people - Pulp
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 I'll have a rum 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 cant 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 youre laid in bed at night
Watching roaches climb the wall
If you call 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
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
