She came from Greece,she had a thirst for knowledge |
| [00:11.26] |
She studied sculpture at Saint Martin's College |
| [00:14.01] |
That's where I caught her eye |
| [00:22.07] |
She told me that her Dad was loaded |
| [00:25.13] |
I said "In that case I'll have rum and coca-cola |
| [00:27.20] |
She said "fine" |
| [00:30.32] |
And then in 30seconds time she said |
| [00:35.51] |
"I want to live like common people |
| [00:38.95] |
I want to do whatever common people do |
| [00:42.63] |
I want to sleep with common people |
| [00:46.07] |
I want to sleep with common people like you" |
| [00:51.07] |
Well what else could I do? |
| [00:54.01] |
I said "I'll see what I can do" |
| [01:00.63] |
I took her to a supermarket |
| [01:03.38] |
I don't know why |
| [01:04.32] |
but I had to start it somewhere |
| [01:08.38] |
so it started there |
| [01:14.01] |
I said "pretend you've got no money" |
| [01:16.76] |
but she just laughed |
| [01:17.64] |
and said "oh you're so funny" |
| [01:19.20] |
I said "Yeah |
| [01:22.01] |
Well I can't see anyone else smiling in here |
| [01:25.64] |
Are you sure |
| [01:26.82] |
you want to live like common people |
| [01:30.32] |
you want to see whatever common people see |
| [01:33.70] |
you want to sleep with common people |
| [01:37.07] |
you want to sleep with common people like me?" |
| [01:41.89] |
But she didn't understand |
| [01:44.39] |
she just smiled and held my hand |
| [01:49.45] |
Rent a flat above a shop |
| [01:52.51] |
Cut your hair and get a job |
| [01:55.76] |
Smoke some fags and play some pool |
| [01:59.01] |
Pretend you never went to school |
| [02:02.20] |
But still you'll never get it right |
| [02:05.39] |
'cos when you're laid in bed at night |
| [02:08.76] |
watching roaches climb the wall |
| [02:11.83] |
if you called your dad he could stop it all |
| [02:15.14] |
yeah |
| [02:16.20] |
You'll never live like common people |
| [02:19.45] |
You'll never do whatever common people do |
| [02:22.89] |
You'll never fail like common people |
| [02:26.08] |
You'll never watch your life slide out of view |
| [02:30.20] |
and then dance and drink and screw |
| [02:33.45] |
because there's nothing else to do |
| [03:04.70] |
Sing along with the common people |
| [03:07.77] |
Sing along and it might just get you through |
| [03:10.83] |
Laugh along with the common people |
| [03:13.95] |
Laugh along although they're laughing at you |
| [03:18.08] |
and the stupid things that you do |
| [03:20.83] |
because you think that poor is cool |
| [03:26.77] |
Like a dog lying in a corner |
| [03:29.80] |
they will bite you and never warn you |
| [03:32.86] |
Look out |
| [03:35.23] |
they'll tear your insides out |
| [03:39.86] |
'cos everybody hates a tourist |
| [03:43.11] |
especially one who thinks |
| [03:44.55] |
it's all such a laugh |
| [03:47.86] |
yeah and the chip stain's grease |
| [03:49.92] |
will come out in the bath |
| [03:51.67] |
You will never understand |
| [03:54.36] |
how it feels to live your life |
| [03:57.42] |
with no meaning or control |
| [04:00.55] |
and with nowhere left to go |
| [04:03.42] |
You are amazed that they exist |
| [04:06.67] |
and they burn so bright |
| [04:08.36] |
whilst you can only wonder why |
| [04:13.05] |
Rent a flat above a shop |
| [04:15.61] |
Cut your hair and get a job |
| [04:18.80] |
Smoke some fags and play some pool |
| [04:21.86] |
Pretend you never went to school |
| [04:24.99] |
But still you'll never get it right |
| [04:27.92] |
'cause when you're laid in bed at night |
| [04:31.05] |
watching roaches climb the wall |
| [04:34.80] |
if you called your dad he could stop it all |
| [04:37.24] |
yeah |
| [04:37.67] |
You'll never live like common people |
| [04:41.36] |
You'll never do whatever common people do |
| [04:44.49] |
You'll never fail like common people |
| [04:47.55] |
You'll never watch your life slide out of view |
| [04:51.80] |
and then dance and drink and screw |
| [04:54.74] |
'because there's nothing else to do |
| [05:06.49] |
I want to live with common people like you..... |
