Pulp Common People ' 96 edit Lyrics

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 30 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"
or 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 it started
there

I said "pretend you've got no money"
but she just laughed
and said "oh you're so funny"
I said "Yeah? huh!
Well I can't see anyone else smiling in 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?

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 f__s and play some pool
Pretend you never went to school
But still you'll never get it right
'cos when you're laid in bed at night
watching roaches climb the wall
if you called your dad he could stop it all
yeah!

You'll never live like common people
You'll never do whatever common people do
You'll never fail like common people
You'll never watch your life slide out of view

And then dance and drink
Because 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
because you think that poor is cool.

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
Wanna live with common people like you
la la la la..

Oh yeah!
