[00:08.43]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

[01:44.84]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

[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
