Common People (普通人) - Pulp (果浆乐团)[00:00:00]
She came from Greece[00:00:08]
She had a thirst for knowledge[00:00:10]
She studied sculpture at Saint Martin's College[00:00:12]
That's where I caught her eye[00:00:14]
She told me that her dad was loaded[00:00:22]
I said "In that case I'll have rum and Coca-Cola"[00:00:25]
She said "Fine"[00:00:28]
And then in 30 seconds time she said[00:00:31]
“I want to live like common people[00:00:35]
I want to do whatever common people do[00:00:38]
I want to sleep with common people[00:00:43]
I want to sleep with common people like you”[00:00:45]
Well what else could I do [00:00:51]
I said "I'll I'll see what I can do"[00:00:53]
I took her to a supermarket[00:01:00]
I don't know why[00:01:02]
But I had to start it somewhere[00:01:04]
So it started there[00:01:08]
I said "Pretend you've got no money"[00:01:12]
But she just laughed and said "Oh you're so funny"[00:01:16]
I said "Yeah well I don't see anyone else smilin' in here[00:01:19]
Are you sure [00:01:24]
You wanna live like common people[00:01:26]
You wanna see whatever common people see[00:01:29]
Wanna sleep with common people[00:01:32]
You wanna sleep with common people like me "[00:01:35]
But she didn't understand[00:01:40]
And she just smiled and held my hand[00:01:42]
Rent a flat above a shop[00:01:48]
Cut your hair and get a job[00:01:50]
Smoke some fags and play some pool[00:01:54]
Pretend you never went to school[00:01:57]
But still you'll never get it right[00:02:00]
'Cause when you're laid in bed at night[00:02:03]
Watching roaches climb the wall[00:02:07]
If you called your dad he could stop it all yeah[00:02:10]
You'll never live like common people[00:02:14]
You'll never do whatever common people do[00:02:17]
You'll never fail like common people[00:02:21]
You'll never watch your life slide out of view[00:02:24]
And then dance and drink and screw[00:02:28]
Because there's nothing else to do[00:02:31]
Sing along with the common people[00:03:02]
Sing along and it might just get you through[00:03:05]
Laugh along with the common people[00:03:08]
Laugh along even though they're laughin' at you[00:03:11]
And the stupid things that you do[00:03:15]
Because you think that poor is cool[00:03:18]
Like a dog lyin' in a corner[00:03:24]
They will bite and never warn you look out[00:03:27]
They'll tear your insides out[00:03:32]
'Cause everybody hates a tourist[00:03:36]
Especially one who thinks[00:03:40]
It's all such a laugh[00:03:43]
Yeah and the chip stain's grease[00:03:45]
Will come out in the bath[00:03:47]
You will never understand[00:03:49]
How it feels to live your life[00:03:51]
With no meaning or control[00:03:54]
And with nowhere else to go[00:03:57]
You are amazed that they exist[00:04:00]
And they burn so bright[00:04:03]
While you can only wonder why[00:04:06]
Rent a flat above a shop[00:04:07]
Cut your hair and get a job[00:04:09]
Smoke some fags and play some pool[00:04:13]
Pretend you never went to school[00:04:19]
But still you'll never get it right[00:04:22]
'Cause when you're laid in bed at night[00:04:25]
Watchin' roaches climb the wall[00:04:28]
If you called your dad he could stop it all yeah[00:04:33]
You'll never live like common people[00:04:36]
You'll never do what common people do[00:04:38]
You'll never fail like common people[00:04:41]
You'll never watch your life slide out of view[00:04:44]
And dance and drink and screw[00:04:48]
Because there's nothin' else to do[00:04:51]
I wanna live with common people like you[00:05:07]
I wanna live with common people like you[00:05:09]
I wanna live with common people like you[00:05:12]
