Pulp - Common People Lyrics
She came from greece she had a thirst for knowledge, she studiedSculpture at saint martins college, thats where I caught her eye. sheTold me that her dad was loaded, I said in that case Ill have a rum andCoke-cola. she said fine and in thirty seconds time she said, I want toLive like common people, I want to do whatever common people do, iWant to sleep with common people, I want to sleep with common peopleLike you. well what else could I do - I said Ill see what I can do. I tookHer 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, she just laughedAnd said oh youre so funny. I said yeah? well I cant see anyone elseSmiling in here. are you sure you want to live like common people, youWant to see whatever common people see, you want to sleep withCommon people, you want to sleep with common people like me. butShe didnt understand, she just smiled and held my hand. rent a flatAbove a shop, cut your hair and get a job. smoke some fags and playSome pool, pretend you never went to school. but still youll never get itRight cos when youre laid in bed at night watching roaches climb theWall if you call your dad he could stop it all. youll never live likeCommon people, youll never do what common people do, youll neverFail like common people, youll never watch your life slide out of view,And dance and drink and screw because theres nothing else to do. singAlong with the common people, sing along and it might just get youThru, laugh along with the common people, laugh along even thoughTheyre laughing at you and the stupid things that you do. because youThink that poor is cool. I want to live with common people, I want to liveWith common people etc......
