A great song by Pulp!! She came from Greece she had a thirst for knowledge, she studied sculpture at Saint Martins College, thats where I, caught her eye. She told me that her Dad was loaded, I said In that case Ill 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 Ill see what I can do. I took her 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 laughed and said, Oh youre so funny. I said yeah? Well I cant 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 didnt 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 youll never get it right, cos when youre laid in bed at night, watching roaches climb the wall, if you call your Dad he could stop it all. Youll never live like common people, youll never do what common people do, youll never fail like common people, youll never watch your life slide out of view, and dance and drink and screw, because theres 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 theyre 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...
