Текст песни Common People (Pulp Cover)

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 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
Common people, like you
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

You sure
You want to live like common people?
You want to see whatever common people see
You want to sleep with common people
Common people like me
But she didn't understand
She just smiled and held my hand

I 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
Call your dad he'd stop it all, he'd stop it all

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 dance and drink and screw
'Cause 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
'Cause you think that poor is cool

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
