Idioma Origen:
She came from Greece, she had a thirst for knowledge
She studied sculpture at Saint 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 rum and coca-cola"
She said "fine"
And then in 30 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"
Oh 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"
But she just laughed and said "Huh, oh you're so funny"
I said "Yeah? huh!
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
Go rent a flat above a shop
Ah, cut your hair and get a job
Ah, 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 layin' 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 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 stain's 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 else 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 laid in bed at night
watching roaches climb the wall
if you called your Dad he could stop it all
Never live like common people
Never do what common people do
Never fail like common people
Never watch your life .... slide out of view
And then dance, and drink, and screw
Cause there's nothing else to do
Wanna live with common people like you
Wanna live with common people like you
Wanna live with common people like you
Wanna live with common people like you
Wanna live with common people like you
Wanna live with common people like you
Wanna live with common people like you
Oh, la la la la..
Oh, la la la la..
Oh, la la la la..
Oh, la la la la la la yeah
