[Verse 1]


She came from 

Greece, she ha

d a thirst for

 knowledge
She studied sculpture at St. Martin's college, that's where I

Caught her eye

She told me th

at her dad was

 loaded
I said, "in that case I'll have a rum and coca cola," she said fine

And then in th

irty seconds t

ime, she said:


I wanna live l

ike common peo

ple
I wanna do whatever common people do

I wanna sleep 

with common pe

ople
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, "prete

nd you've got 

no money."
She just laughed and said "oh, you're so funny"

I said "Yeah, 

well I can't s

ee anyone else

 smiling in he

re."

Are you sure?


You wanna live

 like common p

eople?
You wanna see whatever common people see?

You wanna slee

p 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 ab

ove a shop
Cut your hair and get a job

Smoke some fag

s and play som

e pool,
Pretend you never went to school

But still you'

ll never get i

t right
'Cus when you're layed in bed at night

Watching roach

es climb the w

all
If you called your dad he could stop it all, yeah


You'll never l

ive like commo

n people
You'll never see whatever common people see

Never fail lik

e common peopl

e
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 wit

h the common p

eople
Sing along and it might just get you through

Laugh along wi

th the common 

people
Laugh along even though they're laughing at you

And the stupid

 things that y

ou do
Because you think that poor's cool


[Breakdown]


Like a dog lyi

ng in the corn

er
They will bite you and never warn you

Look out, they

'll tear your 

insides out

Cus everybody 

hates a touris

t
Especially one of those who thinks it's all such a laugh

And the chip s

tains and grea

se
Will come out in the bath


[Verse 4]


You will NEVER

 understand
How it feels to live your life

With no meanin

g or control
And with nowhere left to go

You are amazed

 that they exi

st
And they burn so bright that you can only wonder why


[Chorus]


Rent a flat ab

ove a shop
Cut your hair and get a job

Smoke some fag

s and play som

e pool,
Pretend you never went to school

But still you'

ll never get i

t right
'Cus when you're layed in bed at night

Watching roach

es climb the w

all
If you called your dad he could stop it all, yeah


You'll never l

ive like commo

n people
Never do what common people do

You'll never f

ail like commo

n people
You'll never watch your life, slide out of view

And dance and 

drink and scre

w, 'cus there'

s nothing else

 to do


I wanna live w

ith common peo

ple like you (

repeat til end

)
