VERSE 1


She came from Greece, she had a thirst for knowledge
She studied sculpture at St. 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 coca cola," she said fine

And then in thirty seconds time, she said:


I wanna live like common people
I wanna do whatever common people do

I wanna sleep with common people
I wanna sleep with common people, like you

Well what else could I do?
I said "I'll see what I can do."

VERSE 2


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 wanna live like common people?
You wanna see whatever common people see?

You wanna sleep with common people...
You wanna sleep with common people, like me?

But she didn't understand...
She just smiled and held my hand!

CHORUS


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
'Cus when you're layed 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 see whatever common people see

Never fail like common people
You'll never watch your life slide out of view

And then dance and drink and screw
Because there's nothing else to do!

BRIDGE

VERSE 3


Sing along with the common people
Sing along and it might just get you through

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's cool

BREAKDOWN


Like a dog lying in the corner
They will bite you and never warn you

Look out, they'll tear your insides out

Cus everybody hates a tourist
Especially one of those who thinks it's all such a laugh

And the chip stains and grease
Will come out in the bath

VERSE 4


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 that you can only wonder why

CHORUS


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
'Cus when you're layed 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
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, 'cus there's nothing else to do


I wanna live with common people like you (repeat til end)
