  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

  R1:
  "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." 

  Well, what else could I do? 

  I said "I'll... 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 got no money" 

  And she just laughed and said "oh, you're so funny" 

  I said "yeah... 

  Well, I can't see anyone else smiling in here, are you sure"

  R2:
  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 

  And she just smiled and held my hand

  Oh, rent a flat above a shop 

  And cut your hair and get a job 

  And 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 dad he could stop it all, yeah

  R3:
  You'll never live like common people 

  You'll never do what ever common people do 

  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

  R4:
  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, they're laughing at you 

  And the stupid things that you do 

  Because you think that poor is cool
