| [00:08.35] |
She came from Greece, she had a thirst for knowledge |
| [00:11.64] |
She studied sculpture at Saint Martin's College |
| [00:14.89] |
That's where I caught her eye |
| [00:22.43] |
She told me that her Dad was loaded |
| [00:25.58] |
I said "In that case I'll have rum and coca-cola |
| [00:28.41] |
She said "fine" |
| [00:31.77] |
And then in 30 seconds time she said |
| [00:35.87] |
"I want to live like common people |
| [00:39.62] |
I want to do whatever common people do |
| [00:43.28] |
I want to sleep with common people |
| [00:46.57] |
I want to sleep with common people like you" |
| [00:51.92] |
Well what else could I do? |
| [00:54.99] |
I said "I'll see what I can do" |
| [01:01.22] |
I took her to a supermarket |
| [01:03.93] |
I don't know why |
| [01:05.26] |
but I had to start it somewhere |
| [01:08.91] |
so it started there |
| [01:14.39] |
I said "pretend you've got no money" |
| [01:17.71] |
but she just laughed |
| [01:18.96] |
and said "oh you're so funny" |
| [01:20.29] |
I said "Yeah |
| [01:22.89] |
Well I don't see anyone else smiling in here |
| [01:26.13] |
Are you sure |
| [01:27.63] |
you want to live like common people |
| [01:30.84] |
you want to see whatever common people see |
| [01:34.46] |
you want to sleep with common people |
| [01:37.62] |
you want to sleep with common people like me?" |
| [01:42.06] |
But she didn't understand |
| [01:45.02] |
she just smiled and held my hand |
| [01:49.88] |
Rent a flat above a shop |
| [01:53.28] |
Cut your hair and get a job |
| [01:56.31] |
Smoke some fags and play some pool |
| [01:59.55] |
Pretend you never went to school |
| [02:03.00] |
But still you'll never get it right |
| [02:06.06] |
'cos when you're laid in bed at night |
| [02:09.41] |
watching roaches climb the wall |
| [02:12.63] |
if you called your dad he could stop it all |
| [02:16.04] |
yeah |
| [02:17.03] |
You'll never live like common people |
| [02:20.21] |
You'll never do whatever common people do |
| [02:23.77] |
You'll never fail like common people |
| [02:26.82] |
You'll never watch your life slide out of view |
| [02:30.68] |
and then dance and drink and screw |
| [02:33.94] |
'cos there's nothing else to do |
| [03:05.09] |
Sing along with the common people |
| [03:08.54] |
Sing along and it might just get you throug |
| [03:11.53] |
Laugh along with the common people |
| [03:15.21] |
Laugh along although they're laughing at you |
| [03:18.64] |
and the stupid things that you do |
| [03:21.67] |
because you think that poor is cool |
| [03:28.06] |
Like a dog lying in a corner |
| [03:30.96] |
they will bite and never warn you |
| [03:33.16] |
Look out |
| [03:36.23] |
they'll tear your insides out |
| [03:40.37] |
'cos everybody hates a tourist |
| [03:44.29] |
especially one who thinks |
| [03:45.97] |
it's all such a laugh |
| [03:49.50] |
yeah and the chip stain's grease |
| [03:51.17] |
will come out in the bath |
| [03:52.58] |
You will never understand |
| [03:55.37] |
how it feels to live your life |
| [03:57.95] |
with no meaning or control |
| [04:01.16] |
and with nowhere else to go |
| [04:04.06] |
You are amazed that they exist |
| [04:07.52] |
and they burn so bright |
| [04:09.67] |
while you can only wonder why |
| [04:13.89] |
Rent a flat above a shop |
| [04:16.43] |
Cut your hair and get a job |
| [04:19.84] |
Smoke some fags and play some pool |
| [04:23.41] |
Pretend you never went to school |
| [04:25.49] |
But still you'll never get it right |
| [04:28.41] |
'cos when you're laid in bed at night |
| [04:31.53] |
watching roaches climb the wall |
| [04:35.42] |
if you called your dad he could stop it all |
| [04:38.79] |
You'll never live like common people |
| [04:42.09] |
You'll never do whatever common people do |
| [04:45.22] |
You'll never fail like common people |
| [04:48.63] |
You'll never watch your life slide out of view |
| [04:52.34] |
and dance and drink and screw |
| [04:55.89] |
'cos there's nothing else to do |
| [05:08.08] |
I want to live with common people like you..... |
