C
She came from Greece she had a thirst for knowledge

She studies sculpture at St. Martins College
                     G
That?s where I caught her eye
C
She told me that her dad was loaded

I said "In that case I?ll have a rum and coca-cola"
                  G
She said "fine" and in a thirty seconds time she said

F
"I want to live like common people
                                                              C
I want to do whatever common people do

I want to sleep with common people
                                                                  G
I want to sleep with common people like you"
                                                                                             C
Well what else could I do?, I said "I?ll see what I can do"

C
I took her to a supermarket
                                                                    G
I don?t know why but I had to start it somewhere - so it started there
C
I said "Pretend you?ve got no money"

She just laughed and said "Oh, you?re so funny"
             G
I said "Yeah, well I can?t see someone else smiling in here

                    F
Are you sure you want to live like common people
                                                                       C
You want to see whatever common people see

You want to sleep with common people
                                                                       G
You want to sleep with common people like me
                                                                                            C
But she didn?t understand, she just smiled and held my hand

             C
Rent a flat above your shop, cut you hair and get a job
                        G
Smoke some fags and play some pool, prentend you never went to school
                          C
But still you?ll never get it right, ?cos when you?re laid in bed at night
                     G
watching roaches climb the wall, if you called your dad he could stop it all

F
You?ll never live like common people
                                                                    C
You?ll never do whatever common people do

You?ll never fail like common people
                                                                G
You?ll never watch your life slide out of view
                                                                                                       C
And dance and drink and screw because there?s nothing else to do

F
Sing along with the common people,
                                                           C
Sing along and it might just get you thru?

Laugh along with the common people
                                                                           G
Laugh along even though they are laughing at you

And the stupid things that you do
                                                    C
Because you think that poor is cool

C
Like a dog lying in a corner they will bite you and never warn you
         G
look out, they?ll tear you insides out
C
?Cos everybody hates a tourist especially one who thinks that it?s all
               G
Such a laugh

and the chip stains and grease will come out in the bath

               F
you will never understand how it feels to live your life
                    C
With no meaning or control and with nowhere left to go
                  G
You are amazed that they exist and they burn so bright
                                              C
Whilst you can only wonder why

             C
Rent a flat above your shop, cut you hair and get a job
                        G
Smoke some fags and play some pool, prentend you never went to school
                          C
But still you?ll never get it right, ?cos when you?re laid in bed at night
                     G
watching roaches climb the wall, if you called your dad he could stop it all

F
You?ll never live like common people
                                                                    C
You?ll never do whatever common people do

You?ll never fail like common people
