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 coka-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
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
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
Like, like, like, like you
Like, like, like, like you
Like, like, like, like la
