She came from Greece, she had a thirst for knowledge |
| [00:11.640] |
She studied sculpture at Saint Martin's College |
| [00:14.890] |
That's where I caught her eye |
| [00:22.430] |
She told me that her Dad was loaded |
| [00:25.580] |
I said "In that case I'll have rum and coca-cola |
| [00:28.410] |
She said "fine" |
| [00:31.770] |
And then in 30 seconds time she said |
| [00:35.870] |
"I want to live like common people |
| [00:39.620] |
I want to do whatever common people do |
| [00:43.280] |
I want to sleep with common people |
| [00:46.570] |
I want to sleep with common people like you" |
| [00:51.920] |
Well what else could I do? |
| [00:54.990] |
I said "I'll see what I can do" |
| [01:01.220] |
I took her to a supermarket |
| [01:03.930] |
I don't know why |
| [01:05.260] |
but I had to start it somewhere |
| [01:08.910] |
so it started there |
| [01:14.390] |
I said "pretend you've got no money" |
| [01:17.710] |
but she just laughed |
| [01:18.960] |
and said "oh you're so funny" |
| [01:20.290] |
I said "Yeah |
| [01:22.890] |
Well I don't see anyone else smiling in here |
| [01:26.130] |
Are you sure |
| [01:27.630] |
you want to live like common people |
| [01:30.840] |
you want to see whatever common people see |
| [01:34.460] |
you want to sleep with common people |
| [01:37.620] |
you want to sleep with common people like me?" |
| [01:42.060] |
But she didn't understand |
| [01:45.020] |
she just smiled and held my hand |
| [01:49.880] |
Rent a flat above a shop |
| [01:53.280] |
Cut your hair and get a job |
| [01:56.310] |
Smoke some fags and play some pool |
| [01:59.550] |
Pretend you never went to school |
| [02:03.000] |
But still you'll never get it right |
| [02:06.060] |
'cos when you're laid in bed at night |
| [02:09.410] |
watching roaches climb the wall |
| [02:12.630] |
if you called your dad he could stop it all |
| [02:16.040] |
yeah |
| [02:17.030] |
You'll never live like common people |
| [02:20.210] |
You'll never do whatever common people do |
| [02:23.770] |
You'll never fail like common people |
| [02:26.820] |
You'll never watch your life slide out of view |
| [02:30.680] |
and then dance and drink and screw |
| [02:33.940] |
'cos there's nothing else to do |
| [03:05.090] |
Sing along with the common people |
| [03:08.540] |
Sing along and it might just get you throug |
| [03:11.530] |
Laugh along with the common people |
| [03:15.210] |
Laugh along although they're laughing at you |
| [03:18.640] |
and the stupid things that you do |
| [03:21.670] |
because you think that poor is cool |
| [03:28.060] |
Like a dog lying in a corner |
| [03:30.960] |
they will bite and never warn you |
| [03:33.160] |
Look out |
| [03:36.230] |
they'll tear your insides out |
| [03:40.370] |
'cos everybody hates a tourist |
| [03:44.290] |
especially one who thinks |
| [03:45.970] |
it's all such a laugh |
| [03:49.500] |
yeah and the chip stain's grease |
| [03:51.170] |
will come out in the bath |
| [03:52.580] |
You will never understand |
| [03:55.370] |
how it feels to live your life |
| [03:57.950] |
with no meaning or control |
| [04:01.160] |
and with nowhere else to go |
| [04:04.060] |
You are amazed that they exist |
| [04:07.520] |
and they burn so bright |
| [04:09.670] |
while you can only wonder why |
| [04:13.890] |
Rent a flat above a shop |
| [04:16.430] |
Cut your hair and get a job |
| [04:19.840] |
Smoke some fags and play some pool |
| [04:23.410] |
Pretend you never went to school |
| [04:25.490] |
But still you'll never get it right |
| [04:28.410] |
'cos when you're laid in bed at night |
| [04:31.530] |
watching roaches climb the wall |
| [04:35.420] |
if you called your dad he could stop it all |
| [04:38.790] |
You'll never live like common people |
| [04:42.090] |
You'll never do whatever common people do |
| [04:45.220] |
You'll never fail like common people |
| [04:48.630] |
You'll never watch your life slide out of view |
| [04:52.340] |
and dance and drink and screw |
| [04:55.890] |
'cos there's nothing else to do |

I want to live with common people like you..... |
