Lyrics
She came from Greece, she has a thirst for knowledge
She studied sculpture at St Martin's College
That's where I caught her eye
She told me that her dad was loaded
And I said, "Oh, Coca-Cola?"
She said, "Fine"
And then in 30 seconds time
She said, "I wanna live like common people
I wanna do whatever common people do
I wanna sleep with common people
I wanna sleep with common people like you"
She took me to a supermarket
I don't know why, but I had to start it somewhere
So I started there
She said, "Pretend you've got no money"
And I just laughed and said, "You're so funny"
I said, "Yeah"
Then she said, "I wanna live like common people
I wanna do whatever common people do
I wanna sleep with common people
I wanna watch your life run out of view"
And she said, "I wanna live like common people
I wanna do whatever common people do
I wanna sleep with common people
I wanna sleep with common people like you"
But she didn't understand
She just smiled and held my hand
We'll rent a flat, sit by the shove
I'll cut your hair and get a job
We'll smoke some fags and play some pool
Pretend we never went to school
But then you never get it right
'Cause when we're layin' in bed at night
Watching roaches climb the wall
And you're failing at guitar
And she said, "I wanna live like common people
I wanna do whatever common people do
I wanna sleep with common people
I wanna watch your life run out of view"
And we're dancing to "In For Sure"
Because there's nothing else to do
I said, "There's nothing else to do"
She wants to live, she wants to live like common people
She wants to do whatever common people do
She wants to sleep with common people
She wants to sleep with common people like you, like you
