Common People by Pulp

She came from Greece.
She had a thirst for knowledge
She (1)______________ (2)__________________ at St Martin's College.
That's where I (3)____________ 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 (4)________ she said,
"I want to live like common people.
I want to do whatever common people do.
I want to sleep with (5)____________ people.
I want to sleep with common people like you."
Well (6)________ else could I do?
I said, "I'll see what I can do."

I (7)________ 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 (8)____________ else smiling in here."
"Are you sure you (9)________ to live like common people?
You want to see whatever common (10)____________ see?
You (11)________ to (12)__________ with common people?
You want to sleep (13)________ common people (14)________ me?"
But she didn't understand
she (15)________ 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
'cause 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 (16)____________ 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 (18)________ 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 (19)________ 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
'cause everybody hates a tourist
especially one who thinks it's
all such a laugh.
Yeah and the (20)________ 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?
