Common People - Pulp

Lyrics
words to study

She came from Greece she had a thirst for knowledge

She studied sculpture at St 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

"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."

Oh 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 an 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
