[00:07.82]She  came  from  Greece,she  had  a  thirst  for  knowledge
[00:11.26]She  studied  sculpture  at  Saint  Martin's  College
[00:14.01]That's  where  I  caught  her  eye
[00:22.07]She  told  me  that  her  Dad  was  loaded
[00:25.13]I  said "In  that  case  I'll  have  rum  and  coca-cola
[00:27.20]She  said "fine"
[00:30.32]And  then  in 30seconds  time  she  said
[00:35.51]"I  want  to  live  like  common  people
[00:38.95]I  want  to  do  whatever  common  people  do
[00:42.63]I  want  to  sleep  with  common  people
[00:46.07]I  want  to  sleep  with  common  people  like  you"
[00:51.07]Well  what  else  could  I  do?
[00:54.01]I  said "I'll  see  what  I  can  do"
[01:00.63]I  took  her  to  a  supermarket
[01:03.38]I  don't  know  why
[01:04.32]but  I  had  to  start  it  somewhere
[01:08.38]so  it  started  there
[01:14.01]I  said "pretend  you've  got  no  money"
[01:16.76]but  she  just  laughed
[01:17.64]and  said "oh  you're  so  funny"
[01:19.20]I  said "Yeah
[01:22.01]Well  I  can't  see  anyone  else  smiling  in  here
[01:25.64]Are  you  sure
[01:26.82]you  want  to  live  like  common  people
[01:30.32]you  want  to  see  whatever  common  people  see
[01:33.70]you  want  to  sleep  with  common  people
[01:37.07]you  want  to  sleep  with  common  people  like  me?"
[01:41.89]But  she  didn't  understand
[01:44.39]she  just  smiled  and  held  my  hand
[01:49.45]Rent  a  flat  above  a  shop
[01:52.51]Cut  your  hair  and  get  a  job
[01:55.76]Smoke  some  fags  and  play  some  pool
[01:59.01]Pretend  you  never  went  to  school
[02:02.20]But  still  you'll  never  get  it  right
[02:05.39]'cos  when  you're  laid  in  bed  at  night
[02:08.76]watching  roaches  climb  the  wall
[02:11.83]if  you  called  your  dad  he  could  stop  it  all
[02:15.14]yeah
[02:16.20]You'll  never  live  like  common  people
[02:19.45]You'll  never  do  whatever  common  people  do
[02:22.89]You'll  never  fail  like  common  people
[02:26.08]You'll  never  watch  your  life  slide  out  of  view
[02:30.20]and  then  dance  and  drink  and  screw
[02:33.45]because  there's  nothing  else  to  do
[03:04.70]Sing  along  with  the  common  people
[03:07.77]Sing  along  and  it  might  just  get  you  through
[03:10.83]Laugh  along  with  the  common  people
[03:13.95]Laugh  along  although  they're  laughing  at  you
[03:18.08]and  the  stupid  things  that  you  do
[03:20.83]because  you  think  that  poor  is  cool
[03:26.77]Like  a  dog  lying  in  a  corner
[03:29.80]they  will  bite  you  and  never  warn  you
[03:32.86]Look  out
[03:35.23]they'll  tear  your  insides  out
[03:39.86]'cos  everybody  hates  a  tourist
[03:43.11]especially  one  who  thinks
[03:44.55]it's  all  such  a  laugh
[03:47.86]yeah  and  the  chip  stain's  grease
[03:49.92]will  come  out  in  the  bath
[03:51.67]You  will  never  understand
[03:54.36]how  it  feels  to  live  your  life
[03:57.42]with  no  meaning  or  control
[04:00.55]and  with  nowhere  left  to  go
[04:03.42]You  are  amazed  that  they  exist
[04:06.67]and  they  burn  so  bright
[04:08.36]whilst  you  can  only  wonder  why
[04:13.05]Rent  a  flat  above  a  shop
[04:15.61]Cut  your  hair  and  get  a  job
[04:18.80]Smoke  some  fags  and  play  some  pool
[04:21.86]Pretend  you  never  went  to  school
[04:24.99]But  still  you'll  never  get  it  right
[04:27.92]'cause  when  you're  laid  in  bed  at  night
[04:31.05]watching  roaches  climb  the  wall
[04:34.80]if  you  called  your  dad  he  could  stop  it  all
[04:37.24]yeah
[04:37.67]You'll  never  live  like  common  people
[04:41.36]You'll  never  do  whatever  common  people  do
[04:44.49]You'll  never  fail  like  common  people
[04:47.55]You'll  never  watch  your  life  slide  out  of  view
[04:51.80]and  then  dance  and  drink  and  screw
[04:54.74]'because  there's  nothing  else  to  do
