G She came from Greece she had a thirst for knowledge
She studied sculpture at Saint Martin's College
That's where DI caught her eye
G She told me that her Dad was loaded
I said "In that case I'll have a rum and Coca-Cola"
She said "DFine"
And then in thirty seconds time she said
C I want to live like common people
I want to do whatever common people Gdo
Want to sleep with common people
I want to sleep with common people like Dyou
Well, what else could I do?
I said "I'll see what I can do"G
G I took her to a supermarket
I don't know why but I had to start it someDwhere, so it started there
G I said, "pretend you've got no money"
She just laughed and said "Oh you're so funny", I said "YeDah?
Well I can't see anyone else smiling in here
Are you sure"C you wanna live like common people
You want to see whatever common people sGee
You want to sleep with common people
You want to sleep with common people like Dme
But she didn't understand, she just smiled and held my Ghand
Rent a flat above a shop, cut your hair and get a job
Smoke some Dfags and play some pool, pretend you never went to school
But still you'll Gnever get it right 'cause when you're laid in bed at night
Watching Droaches climb the wall
If you called your dad he could stop it all, yeah
C You'll never live like common people
You'll never do whatever common people Gdo
You'll never fail like common people
You'll never watch your life slide out of Dview
And then dance and drink and screw
Because there's nothing else to Gdo

C Sing along with the common people
Sing along and it might just get you Gthrough
Laugh along with the common people
Laugh along even though they're laughing at Dyou
And the stupid things that you do
Because you think that poor is Gcool
Like a dog lying in a corner
They will bite you and never warn you
Look Dout, they'll tear your insides out
G'Cause everybody hates a tourist
Especially one who thinks it's all such a Dlaugh
And the chip stain's grease will come out in the bath
You will Cnever understand how it feels to live your life
With no Gmeaning or control and with nowhere left to go
You are aDmazed that they exist
And they burn so bright whilst you can only Gwonder why
Rent a flat above a shop, cut your hair and get a job
Smoke some Dfags and play some pool, pretend you never went to school
But still you'll Gnever get it right 'cause when you're laid in bed at night
Watching Droaches climb the wall
If you called your dad he could stop it all, yeah
C You'll never live like common people
You'll never do whatever common people Gdo
You'll never fail like common people
You'll never watch your life slide out of Dview
And then dance and drink and screw
Because there's nothing else to Gdo
