    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 want to live like common people
    I want to do whatever common people do
    I want to sleep with common people
    I want to sleep with common people like you"
    Well 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
    Well I don't see anyone else smiling in here
    Are you sure
    you want to live like common people
    you want to see whatever common people see
    you want to sleep with common people
    you want to 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 fags 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 and screw
    'cos there's nothing else to do
    Sing along with the common people
    Sing along and it might just get you throug
    Laugh along with the common people
    Laugh along although they're laughing at you
    and the stupid things that you do
    because you think that poor is cool
    Like a dog lying in a corner
    they will bite and never warn you
    Look out
    they'll tear your insides out
    'cos everybody hates a tourist
    especially one who thinks
    it's all such a laugh
    yeah and the chip stain's grease
    will come out in the bath
    You will never understand
    how it feels to live your life
    with no meaning or control
    and with nowhere else to go
    You are amazed that they exist
    and they burn so bright
    while you can only wonder why
    Rent a flat above a shop
    Cut your hair and get a job
    Smoke some fags 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
    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 dance and drink and screw
    'cos there's nothing else to do
    I want to live with common people like you.....
