[C] She came from Greece, she had a thirst for knowledge
She studied sculpture at St. Martin's college,
that's where [G] 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," she said [G] fine
[G] And then in thirty seconds time, she said:
{c: }
[F] I wanna live like common people,
I wanna do whatever common people [C] do
I wanna sleep with common people, I wanna sleep with common people, like [G] you
Well what else could I do? I said "I'll see what I can [C] do."
{c: }
[C] I took her to a supermarket
I don't know why, but I had to start it some[G] where, so it started there.
[C] I said, "pretend you've got no money." She just laughed and said "oh, you're so funny"
I said [G] "Yeah, well I can't see anyone else smiling in here." Are you sure?
{c: }
[F] You wanna live like common people.
You wanna see whatever common people [C] see?
[C] You wanna sleep with common people.
You wanna sleep with common people like [G] me?
But she didn't understand, she just smiled and held my [C] hand!
{c: }
[C] Rent a flat above a shop, cut your hair and get a job
Smoke some [G] fags and play some pool, pretend you never went to school
But still you'll [C] never get it right, 'cos when you're laid in bed at night
Watching [G] roaches climb the wall, if you called your dad he could stop it all, yeah
{c: }
[F] You'll never live like common people
You'll never do whatever common people [C] do
Never fail like common people, you'll never watch your life slide out of [G] view
And then dance and drink and screw, because there's nothing else to [C] do!
{c: }
[C] [G] [C] [G]
[F] Sing along with the common people, sing along and it might just get you [C] through
Laugh along with the common people, laugh along even though they're laughing at [G] you
And the stupid things that you do, because you think that poor is [C] cool
[C] I wanna live with common people like you (x6 sing higher each time)
Oh la la la oh la la la la la Oh la la la oh la la la la la [G] [C].
