[Verse]
A
She came from Greece she had a thirst for knowledge
E
She studied sculpture at Saint Martin's College, that's where I caught her eye.
A
She told me that her Dad was loaded
I said in that case I'll have a rum and coca-cola.
E D
She said fine and in thirty seconds time she said, I want to live like common people
A
I want to do whatever common people do, I want to sleep with common people
[Chorus]
E
I want to sleep with common people like you.
Well what else could I do - I said I'll see what I can do.
[Verse]
A
I took her to a supermarket
E
I don't know why but I had to start it somewhere, it started there.
A
I said pretend you've got no money, she just laughed and said oh you're so funny.
E
I said yeah? Well I can't see anyone else smiling in here.
[Chorus]
D
Are you sure you want to live like common people
You want to see whatever common people see
A
You want to sleep with common people,
you want to sleep with common people like me.
E
But she didn't understand, she just smiled and held my hand.
[Bridge]
A
Rent a flat above a shop, cut your hair and get a job.
E
Smoke some fags and play some pool, pretend you never went to school.
A
still you'll never get it right
E
'cos when you're laid in bed at night watching roaches climb the wall
If you call your Dad he could stop it all.
[Chorus]
D
You'll never live like common people
You'll never do what common people do
A
You'll never fail like common people
E
You'll never watch your life slide out of view, and dance and drink and screw
Because there's nothing else to do.
D
Sing along with the common people, sing along and it might just get you thru'
A
Laugh along with the common people
E
Laugh along even though they're laughing at you and the stupid things that you do.
Because you think that poor is cool.
D
I want to live with common people like you,
I want to live with common people like you,
I want to live with common people like you,
I want to live with common people like youuu
La La La
Oh youuu
La La La
Oh youu
