- 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 a rum and coca-cola."
- She said "Fine."
- And in thirty 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,
- 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 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,
- 'Cause 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,
- Because there's nothing else to do.
- 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 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 you and never warn you,
- Look out, they'll tear your insides out.
- 'Cause 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 left to go.
- You are amazed that they exist
- And they burn so bright,
- Whilst you can only wonder why.
