[00:00.000] 作詞 : Banks, Cocker, Doyle, Mackey ...
[00:08.050]She came from Greece, she had a thirst for knowledge
[00:11.340]She studied sculpture at Saint Martin's College
[00:14.590]That's where I caught her eye
[00:22.130]She told me that her Dad was loaded
[00:25.280]I said "In that case I'll have rum and coca-cola
[00:28.110]She said "fine"
[00:31.470]And then in 30 seconds time she said
[00:35.570]"I want to live like common people
[00:39.320]I want to do whatever common people do
[00:42.980]I want to sleep with common people
[00:46.270]I want to sleep with common people like you"
[00:51.620]Well what else could I do?
[00:54.690]I said "I'll see what I can do"
[01:00.920]I took her to a supermarket
[01:03.630]I don't know why
[01:04.960]but I had to start it somewhere
[01:08.610]so it started there
[01:14.090]I said "pretend you've got no money"
[01:17.410]but she just laughed
[01:18.660]and said "oh you're so funny"
[01:19.990]I said "Yeah
[01:22.590]Well I can't see anyone else smiling in here
[01:25.830]Are you sure
[01:27.330]you want to live like common people
[01:30.540]you want to see whatever common people see
[01:34.160]you want to sleep with common people
[01:37.320]you want to sleep with common people like me?"
[01:41.760]But she didn't understand
[01:44.720]she just smiled and held my hand
[01:49.580]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
[01:59.850]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
[02:17.330]You'll never live like common people
[02:20.510]You'll never do whatever common people do
[02:24.070]You'll never fail like common people
[02:27.120]You'll never watch your life slide out of view
[02:30.980]and then dance and drink and screw
[02:34.240]'cos there's nothing else to do
[03:05.390]Sing along with the common people
[03:08.840]Sing along and it might just get you through
[03:11.830]Laugh along with the common people
[03:15.510]Laugh along although they're laughing at you
[03:19.240]and the stupid things that you do
[03:22.270]because you think that poor is cool
[03:28.660]Like a dog lying in a corner
[03:31.560]they will bite you and never warn you
[03:33.760]Look out
[03:36.530]they'll tear your insides out
[03:40.970]'cos everybody hates a tourist
[03:44.890]especially one who thinks
[03:46.570]it's all such a laugh
[03:49.500]yeah and the chip stain's grease
[03:51.470]will come out in the bath
[03:53.180]You will never understand
[03:55.970]how it feels to live your life
[03:58.850]with no meaning or control
[04:02.060]and with nowhere else to go
[04:04.960]You are amazed that they exist
[04:08.420]and they burn so bright
[04:10.570]while you can only wonder why
[04:14.790]Rent a flat above a shop
[04:17.330]Cut your hair and get a job
[04:20.740]Smoke some fags and play some pool
[04:24.310]Pretend you never went to school
[04:26.090]But still you'll never get it right
[04:29.910]'cos when you're laid in bed at night
[04:33.030]watching roaches climb the wall
[04:36.920]if you called your dad he could stop it all
[04:39.990]You'll never live like common people
[04:43.590]You'll never do what common people do
[04:46.720]You'll never fail like common people
[04:50.130]You'll never watch your life slide out of view
[04:53.540]and dance and drink and screw
[04:57.390]'cos there's nothing else to do
[05:09.580]I want to live with common people like you.....
