She came from Greece, she had a thirst for knowledge |
| [00:11.78] |
She studied sculpture at Saint Martin's College |
| [00:14.66] |
That's where I caught her eye |
| [00:22.53] |
She told me that her Dad was loaded |
| [00:25.72] |
I said In that case I'll have rum and coca-cola |
| [00:28.64] |
She said fine |
| [00:29.53] |
|
| [00:32.16] |
And then in 30 seconds time she said |
| [00:36.29] |
I want to live like common people“ |
| [00:39.70] |
I want to do whatever common people do |
| [00:43.30] |
I want to sleep with common people |
| [00:46.74] |
I want to sleep with common people like you |
| [00:51.18] |
Well what else could I do? |
| [00:54.32] |
I said I'll see what I can do |
| [00:57.00] |
|
| [01:01.14] |
I took her to a supermarket |
| [01:03.89] |
I don't know why |
| [01:04.87] |
but I had to start it somewhere |
| [01:08.74] |
so it started there |
| [01:14.38] |
I said pretend you've got no money |
| [01:17.23] |
but she just laughed |
| [01:18.00] |
and said oh you're so funny |
| [01:19.90] |
|
| [01:22.24] |
Well I can't see anyone else smiling in here |
| [01:24.59] |
|
| [01:25.79] |

| [01:37.67] |

| [01:40.89] |
|
| [01:41.80] |
But she didn't understand |
| [01:44.84] |
she just smiled and held my hand |
| [01:47.55] |
|
| [01:49.86] |
Rent a flat above a shop |
| [01:53.14] |
Cut your hair and get a job |
| [01:56.03] |
Smoke some fags and play some pool |
| [01:59.36] |
Pretend you never went to school |
| [02:02.54] |
But still you'll never get it right |
| [02:05.82] |
'cos when you're laid in bed at night |
| [02:09.18] |
watching roaches climb the wall |
| [02:12.48] |
if you called your dad he could stop it all |
| [02:16.00] |

| [02:23.39] |
You'll never fail like common people |
| [02:26.59] |
You'll never watch your life slide out of view |
| [02:30.47] |
and then dance and drink and screw |
| [02:33.87] |
'cos there's nothing else to do |
| [02:38.30] |
|
| [03:05.13] |
Sing along with the common people |
| [03:08.22] |
Sing along and it might just get you throug |
| [03:11.26] |
Laugh along with the common people |
| [03:14.41] |
Laugh along although they're laughing at you |
| [03:18.15] |
and the stupid things that you do |
| [03:21.05] |
because you think that poor is cool |
| [03:26.16] |
|
| [03:27.01] |
Like a dog lying in a corner |
| [03:29.92] |
they will bite and never warn you |
| [03:32.43] |
Look out |
| [03:35.10] |

| [03:39.71] |
'cos everybody hates a tourist |
| [03:42.90] |

| [03:44.74] |
it's all such a laugh |
| [03:47.24] |
yeah and the chip stain's grease |
| [03:50.60] |
will come out in the bath |
| [03:51.61] |
You will never understand |
| [03:54.34] |
how it feels to live your life |
| [03:57.35] |
with no meaning or control |
| [04:00.44] |
and with nowhere else to go |
| [04:03.53] |
You are amazed that they exist |
| [04:06.60] |
and they burn so bright |
| [04:08.27] |
while you can only wonder why |
