Common people lyrics

Artist  : Pulp 
Song : Common people
 
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
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 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 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 
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, I want to live
with common people [etc..]
