Common People

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
(Chorus)
"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?
(Chorus)
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
(Chorus)
