C She came from Greece she had a thirst for knowledge She studies sculpture at St. Martins College G That?s where I caught her eye C She told me that her dad was loaded I said "In that case I?ll have a rum and coca-cola" G She said "fine" and in a thirty seconds time she said F "I want to live like common people C I want to do whatever common people do I want to sleep with common people G I want to sleep with common people like you" C Well what else could I do?, I said "I?ll see what I can do" C I took her to a supermarket G I don?t know why but I had to start it somewhere - so it started there C I said "Pretend you?ve got no money" She just laughed and said "Oh, you?re so funny" G I said "Yeah, well I can?t see someone else smiling in here F Are you sure you want to live like common people C You want to see whatever common people see You want to sleep with common people G You want to sleep with common people like me C But she didn?t understand, she just smiled and held my hand C Rent a flat above your shop, cut you hair and get a job G Smoke some fags and play some pool, prentend you never went to school C But still you?ll never get it right, ?cos when you?re laid in bed at night G watching roaches climb the wall, if you called your dad he could stop it all F You?ll never live like common people C You?ll never do whatever common people do You?ll never fail like common people G You?ll never watch your life slide out of view C And dance and drink and screw because there?s nothing else to do ( C G ) F Sing along with the common people, C Sing along and it might just get you thru? Laugh along with the common people G Laugh along even though they are laughing at you And the stupid things that you do C Because you think that poor is cool C Like a dog lying in a corner they will bite you and never warn you G look out, they?ll tear you insides out C ?Cos everybody hates a tourist especially one who thinks that it?s all G Such a laugh and the chip stains and grease will come out in the bath F you will never understand how it feels to live your life C With no meaning or control and with nowhere left to go G You are amazed that they exist and they burn so bright C Whilst you can only wonder why C Rent a flat above your shop, cut you hair and get a job G Smoke some fags and play some pool, prentend you never went to school C But still you?ll never get it right, ?cos when you?re laid in bed at night G watching roaches climb the wall, if you called your dad he could stop it all F You?ll never live like common people C You?ll never do whatever common people do You?ll never fail like common people G You?ll never watch your life slide out of view C And 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
