Common People Lyrics - Different Class - Pulp

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, "Well, in that case I'll have a rum and Coca-Cola" 

She said, "Fine" 

And then 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 "Oh, 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." 

And 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 laying 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 

You'll 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 

Like a dog lying in a corner 

They will bite you and never warn you 

Look out 

They'll tear your insides out 

'cos everybody hates a tourist 

Especially one who thinks it's 

All such a laugh 

Yeah and the chip stains and 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 left to go 

You are amazed that they exist 

And they burn so bright whilst 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 

'Cos when you're laying in bed at night 

Watching roaches climb the wall 

If you called 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 then dance, and drink, and screw 

Because there's nothing else to do 

I want to live with common people like you 

I want to live with common people like you 

I want to live with common people like you 

I want to live with common people like you 

I want to live with common people like you 

I want to live with common people like you 

I want to live with common people like you 

Aa-aa-ah la la la la 

Aa-aa-ah la la la la 

Aa-aa-ah la la la la 

Aa-aa-ah la la-la-la la-la 

Oh yeah.
