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 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 (1)________ 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 (2)________ why, but I had to start it somewhere
so it (3)______________ there.
I said "Pretend you've got no money."
But she just laughed and (4)________ "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 (5)____________ see?
You want to sleep (6)________ common people?
You want to sleep (7)________ common people like me?"
But she didn't understand
she just smiled and held my hand.

"Rent a flat above a shop.
Cut (8)________ hair and get a job.
Smoke (9)________ fags and play some pool.
Pretend you never went to school.
But (10)__________ 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 common people.
You'll never do whatever common people do!
You'll never fail like (11)____________ people!
You'll never watch your life slide out of view
and (12)________ dance, and drink, and screw
because there's nothing else to do!"

Sing along with the common people.
Sing (13)__________ and it might (14)________ get you through.
Laugh (15)__________ with the common people.
Laugh along even (16)____________ they're (17)________________ at you
and the stupid things that you do
because you think that poor is cool.

Like a dog (18)__________ in a corner
they will bite you and never warn you.
Look out.
They'll (19)________ (20)________ (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 (23)________ they exist
and they (24)________ 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 (25)________ pool.
Pretend you (26)__________ (27)________ to school.
But still you'll never get it right
'cause when you're laid in bed at night
watching (28)______________ 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.
