Common People by Pulp

She came (1)________ 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 (2)________ case I'll have rum and coca-cola."
she said "Fine,"
and then in thirty seconds time she said,
"I want to live (3)________ common people.
I want to do whatever common people do.
I want to sleep with common people.
I (4)________ to (5)__________ with common people (6)________ 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 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 (7)____________ people?
You want to see (8)________________ 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 (9)________ 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 (10)________ to school.
But still you'll never get it right
'cause when you're laid in bed at night
watching roaches (11)__________ 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 (12)____________ 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 (13)________ to do!"

Sing along with the common people.
Sing along and it might just get you through.
Laugh (14)__________ with the common people.
Laugh along even (15)____________ 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 (16)________ you and never warn you.
Look out.
They'll tear your insides out
'cause 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 (17)________ your life
with no meaning or control
and with nowhere else to go.
You are amazed that they exist
and (18)________ burn so (19)____________ whilst you can only wonder why?
