Common People (Klone Version)

She came from Venice

She had a thirst for knowledge

She studied sculpture at St Martin's College

That's where I... called her hide

She told me that her head was loaded

I said, "In that case I have a room at Coca College"

She said, "Fine"

And in a thirty seconds time, she said

"I wanna live like common people

I wanna do whatever common people do

I wanna sleep with common people

I wanna sleep with common people like you"

Well, what else could I do?

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 we started there

I said, "Pretend you've got no money"

She laughed and said, "Oh, you're so funny"

I said, "Yeah, I can see anyone smiling here"

Are you sure?

You wanna live like common people

You wanna see whatever common people see

You wanna sleep with common people

You wanna sleep with common people like me"

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

But still you'll never get it right

'Cause when you're laid in bed at night

Watching roaches climb the wall

If you called your daddy he'd stop it all, y'all

You'll never live like common people

You'll never do whatever common people do

You'll never fight like common people

You'll never watch your life slide out of view

And dance and drink and screw

Because there's nothing else to do

You'll never live like common people

You'll never do whatever common people do

You'll never fight like common people

You'll never watch your life slide out of view

And dance and drink and screw

Because there's nothing else to do

You'll never sleep with common people
