Common People by Pulp

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 (1)________ I'll have rum and coca-cola."
she said "Fine,"
and then in (2)____________ (3)______________ (4)________ 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 (5)________ 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 (6)__________ it somewhere
so it started there.
I said "Pretend you've got no money."
But she just (7)______________ and said "Oh you're so funny."
I said, "Yeah?
Well I can't see anyone (8)________ smiling in here."
"Are you sure you (9)________ 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 (10)____________ people (11)________ 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 (12)________ and play some pool.
Pretend you never went to school.
But still you'll never get it right
'cause when you're laid in bed at night
watching (13)______________ climb the wall
if you (14)____________ your Dad he could (15)________ it all."
"Yeah."
"You'll (16)__________ 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 (17)________ to do!"

Sing along with the (18)____________ people.
Sing along and it might just get you through.
Laugh along with the (19)____________ people.
Laugh along even though they're laughing at you
and the stupid (20)____________ 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 (21)______________ out
'cause everybody hates a tourist
especially one who thinks it's
all such a laugh.
Yeah and the chip stain's grease will (22)________ 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?
