Lyrics

[Verse 1]
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 rum and Coca-Cola
She said, fine
And then in thirty seconds time, she said
[Verse 2]
I wanna live like common people
I wanna do whatever common people do
Wanna sleep with common people
I wanna sleep with common people like you
Oh, what else could I do?
I said, oh, I'll see what I can do
[Verse 3]
I took her to a supermarket
I don't why, but I had to start it somewhere
So it started there
I said, pretend you've got no money
And she just laughed and said, oh, you're so funny
I said, yeah?
I can't see anyone else smiling in here
Are you sure
[Verse 4]
You wanna live like common people
You wanna see whatever common people see
Wanna sleep with common people
You wanna sleep with common people like me
But she didn't understand
She just smiled and held my hand
[Verse 5]
Rent a flat above a shop
Cut your hair and get a job
Let's 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 laying in bed at night
Watching roaches climb the wall
If you called your dad, he could stop it all, yeah
[Verse 6]
You'll never live like common people
You'll never do whatever common people do
Never fail like common people
You'll never watch your life slide out of view
And then dance and drink and screw
Because there's nothing else to do
[Verse 7]
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
Because you think that poor is cool
[Verse 8]
Wanna live with common people like you
Wanna live with common people like you
Wanna live with common people like you
Wanna live with common people like you
Wanna live with common people like you
Wanna live with common people like you
La, la, la, la
Oh, la, la, la, la
Oh, la, la-la-la-la-la-la, oh yeah
