Pulp – Common People Chords

She came from Greece, she had a thirst for knowledge
She studied sculpture at St. Martin’s 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 coca cola,” she said fine
And then in thirty seconds time, she said:

I wanna live like common people,
I wanna do whatever common people do
I wanna sleep with common people, I wanna 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 wanna live like common people.
You wanna see whatever common people see?
You wanna sleep with common people.
You wanna 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 called your dad he could stop it all, yeah

You’ll never live like common people
You’ll never do whatever common people do
Never fail like common people, you’ll never watch your life slide out of view
And then dance and drink and screw, because there’s nothing else to do!

Sing along with the common people, sing along and it might just get you through
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
I wanna live with common people like you
Oh la la la oh la la la la la Oh la la la oh la la la la la .
