AShe came from Greece she's got a thirst for knowledge          
She studied sculpture at Saint Martin's College, that's where EI caught her eye 
AShe told me that her Dad was loaded, I said in that case I'll have rum and coca cola 
She said Efine and in thirty seconds time she said
DI want to live like common people, I want to do whatever common people do
AI want to sleep with common people, I want to sleep with common people like Eyou
Well what else was I to do, I said I'll see what I can dAo 
AI took her to a supermarket, I don't know why but I had to start it Esomewhere, so I started it there
AI said pretend that you've got no money, she just laughed and said oh you're so funny 
I said Eyeah, well I don't see anyone smiling here 
DYou want to live like common people, you want to see whatever common people see
AYou want to sleep with common people, you want to sleep with common people like Eme
But she didn't understand, she just smiled and held my Ahand
ARent a flat above a shop, cut your hair and get a job  
Smoke some Efags and play some pool, pretend you never went to school 
AStill you'll never get it right, cause when you're laid in bed at night 
Watching Eroaches climb your wall, if your Daddy called he could stop it all 
DYou'll never live like common people, you'll never do what common people do
AYou'll never fail like common people, you'll never watch your life slide right out of Eview, 
And you can dance and drink and screw because there's nothing else to Ado 
DSing along with the common people, sing along with the common people thru
ALaugh along with the common people, laugh along even though they're laughing at Eyou 
And the stupid things that you do because you think that poor is Acool
EAnd you can dance and drink and screw because there's nothing else to Ado

She came from Greece she's got 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 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

A E

I want to sleep with common people, I want to sleep with common people like you

Well what else was I to do, I said I'll see what I can do

A E

I took her to a supermarket, I don't know why but I had to start it somewhere, so I started it there

I said pretend that you've got no money, she just laughed and said oh you're so funny

I said yeah, well I don't see anyone smiling here

You want to live like common people, you want to see whatever common people see

A E

You want to sleep with common people, you want to sleep with common people like me

But she didn't 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

Still you'll never get it right, cause when you're laid in bed at night

Watching roaches climb your wall, if your Daddy called he could stop it all

You'll never live like common people, you'll never do what common people do

A E

You'll never fail like common people, you'll never watch your life slide right out of view,

And you can dance and drink and screw because there's nothing else to do

Sing along with the common people, sing along with the common people thru

A E

Laugh along with the common people, laugh along even though they're laughing at you

And the stupid things that you do because you think that poor is cool

E A

And you can dance and drink and screw because there's nothing else to do
