B
\nShe came from Greece she had a thirst for knowledge,
\nB
\nshe studied sculpture at Saint Martin’s College, that’s where
\nF#
\nI, caught her
\nF#
\neye.
\nB
\nShe told me that her Dad was loaded,
\nB
\nI said “In that case I’ll have a rum and coca-cola.” She said
\nF#
\n“Fine.” and then in
\nF#
\nthirty seconds time she said,<\/p>\n

E
\n “I want to live like common people,
\nE
\n I want to do whatever common people
\nB
\ndo, I want to sleep with common people,
\nB
\nI want to sleep with common people, like
\nF#
\nyou.”Well what else could I do –
\nF#
\n I said “I’ll see what I can do.”<\/p>\n

I took her to a supermarket,
\nI don’t know why but I had to start it some
\nwhere, so it started
\n there.<\/p>\n

I said pretend you’ve got no money,
\nshe just laughed and said, “Oh you’re so funny.” I said
\n“yeah? Well I can’t see anyone else smiling in
\nhere.” Are you sure
\nyou want to live like common people,
\nyou want to see whatever common people see,
\nyou want to sleep with common people,
\nyou want to sleep with common people,
\nlike me.” But she didn’t understand,
\nshe just smiled and held my
\nhand. Rent a
\nflat above a shop, cut your
\nhair and get a job. Smoke some
\nfags and play some pool, pretend you
\nnever went to school. still you’ll
\nnever get it right, cos when you’re
\nlaid in bed at night, watching
\nroaches climb the wall, if you
\ncall your Dad he could stop it all.<\/p>\n

You’ll never live like common people,
\nyou’ll never do what common people do,
\nyou’ll never fail like common people,
\nyou’ll never watch your life slide out of view,
\nand dance and drink and screw,
\nbecause there’s nothing else to do.<\/p>\n

Sing along with the common people,
\nsing along and it might just get you through,
\nlaugh along with the common people,
\nlaugh along even though they’re laughing at you,
\nand the stupid things that you do.
\nBecause you think that poor is cool.<\/p>\n

I want to live with common people,
\nI want to live with common people etc…<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
