C 
She came from Greece she had a thirst for knowledge 

She studies sculpture at St. Martins College 
                     G 
That?s where I caught her eye 
C 
She told me that her dad was loaded 

I said "In that case I?ll have a rum and coca-cola" 
                  G 
She said "fine" and in a thirty seconds time she said 

F 
"I want to live like common people 
                                                              C 
I want to do whatever common people do 

I want to sleep with common people 
                                                                  G 
I want to sleep with common people like you" 
                                                                                             C 
Well what else could I do?, I said "I?ll see what I can do" 

C 
I took her to a supermarket 
                                                                    G 
I don?t know why but I had to start it somewhere - so it started there 
C 
I said "Pretend you?ve got no money" 

She just laughed and said "Oh, you?re so funny" 
             G 
I said "Yeah, well I can?t see someone else smiling in here 

                    F 
Are you sure you want to live like common people 
                                                                       C 
You want to see whatever common people see 

You want to sleep with common people 
                                                                       G 
You want to sleep with common people like me 
                                                                                            C 
But she didn?t understand, she just smiled and held my hand 

             C 
Rent a flat above your shop, cut you hair and get a job 
                        G 
Smoke some fags and play some pool, prentend you never went to school 
                          C 
But still you?ll never get it right, ?cos when you?re laid in bed at night 
                     G 
watching roaches climb the wall, if you called your dad he could stop it all 

F 
You?ll never live like common people 
                                                                    C 
You?ll never do whatever common people do 

You?ll never fail like common people 
                                                                G 
You?ll never watch your life slide out of view 
                                                                                                       C 
And dance and drink and screw because there?s nothing else to do 

( C  G ) 

F 
Sing along with the common people, 
                                                           C 
Sing along and it might just get you thru? 

Laugh along with the common people 
                                                                           G 
Laugh along even though they are laughing at you 

And the stupid things that you do 
                                                    C 
Because you think that poor is cool 

C 
Like a dog lying in a corner they will bite you and never warn you 
         G 
look out, they?ll tear you insides out 
C 
?Cos everybody hates a tourist especially one who thinks that it?s all 
               G 
Such a laugh 

and the chip stains and grease will come out in the bath 

               F 
you will never understand how it feels to live your life 
                    C 
With no meaning or control and with nowhere left to go 
                  G 
You are amazed that they exist and they burn so bright 
                                              C 
Whilst you can only wonder why 

             C 
Rent a flat above your shop, cut you hair and get a job 
                        G 
Smoke some fags and play some pool, prentend you never went to school 
                          C 
But still you?ll never get it right, ?cos when you?re laid in bed at night 
                     G 
watching roaches climb the wall, if you called your dad he could stop it all 

F 
You?ll never live like common people 
                                                                    C 
You?ll never do whatever common people do 

You?ll never fail like common people 
                                                                G 
You?ll never watch your life slide out of view 
                                                                                                       C
