G
She came from Greece she had a thirst for knowledge
She studied sculpture at Saint Martin's College
That's where
D
I caught her eye
G
She told me that her Dad was loaded
I said "In that case I'll have a rum and Coca-Cola"
And then in thirty seconds time she said
C
I want to live like common people
I want to do whatever common people
G
do
Want to sleep with common people
I want to sleep with common people like
D
you
Well, what else could I do?
I said "I'll see what I can do"
G
G
I took her to a supermarket
I don't know why but I had to start it some
D
where, so it started there
G
I said, "pretend you've got no money"
She just laughed and said "Oh you're so funny", I said "Ye
D
ah?
Well I can't see anyone else smiling in here
Are you sure"
C
you wanna live like common people
You want to see whatever common people s
G
ee
You want to sleep with common people
You want to sleep with common people like
D
me
But she didn't understand, she just smiled and held my
G
hand
Rent a flat above a shop, cut your hair and get a job
Smoke some
D
fags and play some pool, pretend you never went to school
But still you'll
G
never get it right 'cause when you're laid in bed at night
Watching
D
roaches climb the wall
If you called your dad he could stop it all, yeah
C
You'll never live like common people
You'll never do whatever common people
G
do
You'll never fail like common people
You'll never watch your life slide out of
D
view
And then dance and drink and screw
Because there's nothing else to
G
do
C
Sing along with the common people
Sing along and it might just get you
G
through
Laugh along with the common people
Laugh along even though they're laughing at
D
you
And the stupid things that you do
Because you think that poor is
G
cool
Like a dog lying in a corner
They will bite you and never warn you
Look
D
out, they'll tear your insides out
G
'Cause everybody hates a tourist
Especially one who thinks it's all such a
D
laugh
And the chip stain's grease will come out in the bath
You will
C
never understand how it feels to live your life
With no
G
meaning or control and with nowhere left to go
You are a
D
mazed that they exist
And they burn so bright whilst you can only
G
wonder why
Rent a flat above a shop, cut your hair and get a job
Smoke some
D
fags and play some pool, pretend you never went to school
But still you'll
G
never get it right 'cause when you're laid in bed at night
Watching
D
roaches climb the wall
If you called your dad he could stop it all, yeah
C
You'll never live like common people
You'll never do whatever common people
G
do
You'll never fail like common people
You'll never watch your life slide out of
D
view
And then dance and drink and screw
Because there's nothing else to
G
do
7x //:

4x //: Oh, la, la, la, la ://
