Lyrics for Common People by Pulp:
| | | Artist: | Pulp |
| | Album: | Unknown | | Track: | Common People | | | | Date Added: | 18/10/2007 | | Views: | 107 | | | | Lyrics: | She came from Greece she had a thirst for knowledge
she studied sculpture at St 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 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 "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 an 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 laid 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 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
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
[something muffled underneath, maybe: I'm sorry,
Mr Dalton, there's no need to
be concerned]
'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
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 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
I want to live with common people like
you
Aa-aa-ah la la la la...
Oh yeah | | | |  Reddit | X / Twitter | Facebook | Copy link |
