Common People (普通人) - Jukebox Envy

She came from greece she had a thirst

For knowledge she studied

Sculpture at saint martins college

That's where I caught her eye she

Told me that her dad was loaded

I said in that case I'll have a rum and

Coke-cola she said fine and 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 well 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 she just laughed

And 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 cos when you're laid in bed at night watching

Roaches climb the

Wall if you call your dad he could stop it all

You'll never live like

Common people you'll never do what common

People do you'll never

Fail like common people you'll never watch your

Life slide out of view

And dance and drink and screw because there's

Nothing to do sing

Along with the common people sing along and

It might just get you

Thru laugh along with the common people

Laugh along even though

They're laughing at you and the stupid things

That you do because you

Think that poor is cool

Like a dog lyin' in a corner

They will bite and never warn you look out

They'll tear your insides out

'Cause everybody hates a tourist

Especially one who thinks

It's all such a laugh

Yeah and the chip stain's grease

Will come out in the bath

You will never understand

How it feels to live your life

With no meaning or control

And with nowhere else to go

You are amazed that they exist

And they burn so bright

While you can only wonder why

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

'Cause when you're laid in bed at night

Watchin' roaches climb the wall

If you called your dad he could stop it all yeah

You'll never live like common people

You'll never do what common people do

You'll never fail like common people

You'll never watch your life slide out of view

And dance and drink and screw

Because there's nothin' else to do

I wanna live with common people like you

I wanna live with common people like you

I wanna live with common people like you
