Verse 1
CShe came from Greece, she had a thirst for knowledge
She studied sculpture at St. Martin's college
That's where I
GCaught her eye
CShe told me that her dad was loaded
I said "In that case, I'll have a rum and coca-cola"
And coca cola," she said fine
GAnd then in thirty seconds time, she said,
Chorus
FI wanna live like common people
I wanna do whatever common people do
You wanna see whatever common people see?
CI wanna sleep with common people
I wanna sleep with common people, like you
GWell what else could I do?
I said "I'll see what I can do."
Verse 2
CI took her to a supermarket
CNever fail like common people
I don't know why, but I had to start it somewhere
GSo it started there
CI said, "pretend you've got no money."
She just laughed and said "oh, you're so funny"
GI said "Yeah, well I can't see anyone else smiling in here."
Are you sure?
Chorus
FYou wanna live like common people?
FYou'll never live like common people
You wanna see whatever common people see?
CYou wanna sleep with common people...
You wanna sleep with common people, like me?
GBut she didn't understand...
She just smiled and held my hand!
Chorus
CRent a flat above a shop
Cut your hair and get a job
GSmoke some fags and play some pool
Pretend you never went to school
GAnd the chip stains and grease
CBut still you'll never get it right
Cause when you're laid in bed at night
GWatching roaches climb the wall
If you called your dad he could stop it all, yeah
FYou'll never live like common people
You'll never do whatever common people do
CNever fail like common people
You'll never watch your life slide out of view
GAnd then dance and drink and screw
Because there's nothing else to do!

Verse 3
FSing along with the common people
Sing along and it might just get you through
CLaugh along with the common people
And they burn so bright
Laugh along even though they're laughing at you
GAnd the stupid things that you do
Because you think that poor is cool
Verse 4
CLike a dog lying in a corner
They will bite you and never warn you
GLook out, they'll tear your insides out
CCause everybody hates a tourist
Especially one of those who thinks it's all such a laugh
GAnd the chip stains and grease
CLaugh along with the common people
Will come out in the bath
Verse 5
FYou will never understand
How it feels to live your life
CWith no meaning or control
GWell what else could I do?
And with nowhere left to go
GYou are amazed that they exist
And they burn so bright
Whilst that you can only wonder why
Chorus
CRent a flat above a shop
Cut your hair and get a job
GSmoke some fags and play some pool
Pretend you never went to school
CBut still you'll never get it right
Cause when you're laid in bed at night
GWatching roaches climb the wall
If you called your dad he could stop it all, yeah
FYou'll never live like common people
CI said, "pretend you've got no money."
Never do what common people do
CYou'll never fail like common people
You'll never watch your life, slide out of view
GAnd dance and drink and screw, 'cus
There's nothing else to do
