Текст песни Common People - Urselle

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.
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
And 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 what 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
Because there's nothing else to do I
Want to live with common people like you...
