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

'Cause when you're laid in bed at night

Watching roaches climb the wall

If you called 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 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

Like a dog lying in a corner

They will bite you and never warn you

Look out they'll tear your insides out

'Cause everybody hates a tourist

Especially one who thinks it's all such a laugh

Yeah and the chip stain's grease

Will come out in the bath

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

Whilst you can only wonder why

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

'Cause when you're laid in bed at night

And 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 do what common people do

You'll 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

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
