Artist  : Pulp 
Song : Common People



 Send "Common People" Ringtone to your Cell 

 

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 coca-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
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 is
cool.

I want to live with common
people,
I want to live with common people
etc...
