Common People - Pulp

[00:08.350]She came from Greece, she had a thirst for knowledge
[00:11.640]She studied sculpture at Saint Martin's College
[00:14.890]That's where I caught her eye
[00:22.430]She told me that her Dad was loaded
[00:25.580]I said "In that case I'll have rum and coca-cola
[00:28.410]She said "fine"
[00:31.770]And then in 30 seconds time she said
[00:35.870]"I want to live like common people
[00:39.620]I want to do whatever common people do
[00:43.280]I want to sleep with common people
[00:46.570]I want to sleep with common people like you"
[00:51.920]Well what else could I do?
[00:54.990]I said "I'll see what I can do"
[01:01.220]I took her to a supermarket
[01:03.930]I don't know why
[01:05.260]but I had to start it somewhere
[01:08.910]so it started there
[01:14.390]I said "pretend you've got no money"
[01:17.710]but she just laughed
[01:18.960]and said "oh you're so funny"
[01:20.290]I said "Yeah
[01:22.890]Well I can't see anyone else smiling in here
[01:26.130]Are you sure
[01:27.630]you want to live like common people
[01:30.840]you want to see whatever common people see
[01:34.460]you want to sleep with common people
[01:37.620]you want to sleep with common people like me?"
[01:42.060]But she didn't understand
[01:45.020]she just smiled and held my hand
[01:49.880]Rent a flat above a shop
[01:53.280]Cut your hair and get a job
[01:56.310]Smoke some fags and play some pool
[01:59.550]Pretend you never went to school
[02:03.000]But still you'll never get it right
[02:06.060]'cos when you're laid in bed at night
[02:09.410]watching roaches climb the wall
[02:12.630]if you called your dad he could stop it all
[02:16.040]yeah
[02:17.030]You'll never live like common people
[02:20.210]You'll never do whatever common people do
[02:23.770]You'll never fail like common people
[02:26.820]You'll never watch your life slide out of view
[02:30.680]and then dance and drink and screw
[02:33.940]'cos there's nothing else to do
[03:05.090]Sing along with the common people
[03:08.540]Sing along and it might just get you through
[03:11.530]Laugh along with the common people
[03:15.210]Laugh along although they're laughing at you
[03:18.640]and the stupid things that you do
[03:21.670]because you think that poor is cool
[03:28.060]Like a dog lying in a corner
[03:30.960]they will bite and never warn you
[03:33.160]Look out
[03:36.230]they'll tear your insides out
[03:40.370]'cos everybody hates a tourist
[03:44.290]especially one who thinks
[03:45.970]it's all such a laugh
[03:49.500]yeah and the chip stain's grease
[03:51.170]will come out in the bath
[03:52.580]You will never understand
[03:55.370]how it feels to live your life
[03:57.950]with no meaning or control
[04:01.160]and with nowhere else to go
[04:04.060]You are amazed that they exist
[04:07.520]and they burn so bright
[04:09.670]while you can only wonder why
[04:13.890]Rent a flat above a shop
[04:16.430]Cut your hair and get a job
[04:19.840]Smoke some fags and play some pool
[04:23.410]Pretend you never went to school
[04:25.490]But still you'll never get it right
[04:28.410]'cos when you're laid in bed at night
[04:31.530]watching roaches climb the wall
[04:35.420]if you called your dad he could stop it all
[04:38.790]You'll never live like common people
[04:42.090]You'll never do whatever common people do
[04:45.220]You'll never fail like common people
[04:48.630]You'll never watch your life slide out of view
[04:52.340]and dance and drink and screw
[04:55.890]'cos there's nothing else to do
[05:08.080]I want to live with common people like you.....
