Common People Pulp
[C]She came from Greece she had a thirst for knowledge
She studies sculpture at St. Martins College
That?s where I caught[G] her eye
[C]She told me that her dad was loaded
I said "In that case I?ll have a rum and coca-cola"
She said "fine" an[G]d in a thirty seconds time she said
[F]"I want to live like common people
I want to do whatever common people do [C]
I want to sleep with common people
I want to sleep with common people like you" [G]
Well what else could I do?, I said "I?ll see what I can do" [C]
[C]I took her to a supermarket
I don?t know why but I had to start it somewhere - so it started the[G]re
[C]I said "Pretend you?ve got no money"
She just laughed and said "Oh, you?re so funny"
I said "Yeah,[G] well I can?t see someone else smiling in here
Are you sure you wan[F]t to live like common people
You want to see whatever common people see [C]
You want to sleep with common people
You want to sleep with common people like me [G]
But she didn?t understand, she just smiled and held my hand [C]
Rent a flat a[C]bove your shop, cut you hair and get a job
Smoke some fags and play[G] some pool, prentend you never went to school
But still you?ll never get[C] it right, ?cos when you?re laid in bed at night
watching roaches clim[G]b the wall, if you called your dad he could stop it all
[F]You?ll never live like common people
You?ll never do whatever common people do [C]
You?ll never fail like common people
You?ll never watch your life slide out of view [G]
And dance and drink and screw because there?s nothing else to do [C]
[C] [G]
[F]Sing along with the common people,
Sing along and it might just get you thru? [C]
Laugh along with the common people
Laugh along even though they are laughing at you [G]
And the stupid things that you do
Because you think that poor is cool [C]
[C]Like a dog lying in a corner they will bite you and never warn you
look out,[G] they?ll tear you insides out
[C]?Cos everybody hates a tourist especially one who thinks that it?s all
Such a laugh [G]
and the chip stains and grease will come out in the bath
you will never [F]understand how it feels to live your life
With no meaning or c[C]ontrol and with nowhere left to go
You are amazed tha[G]t they exist and they burn so bright
Whilst you can only wonder why [C]
Rent a flat a[C]bove your shop, cut you hair and get a job
Smoke some fags and play[G] some pool, prentend you never went to school
But still you?ll never get[C] it right, ?cos when you?re laid in bed at night
watching roaches clim[G]b the wall, if you called your dad he could stop it all
[F]You?ll never live like common people
You?ll never do whatever common people do [C]
You?ll never fail like common people
You?ll never watch your life slide out of view [G]
And dance and drink and screw because there?s nothing else to do [C]
I want to live with common people like you
I want to live with common people like you
