Common People - William Shatner[00:00:00]
Written by:Candida Doy[00:00:02]
She came from Greece[00:00:03]
She had a thirst for knowledge[00:00:04]
She studied sculpture at Saint Martin's college[00:00:06]
That's where I caught her eye[00:00:09]
She told me that her dad was loaded[00:00:15]
I said in that case[00:00:17]
I'll have a rum and coca cola[00:00:19]
She said fine and in thirty[00:00:20]
Seconds time she said[00:00:24]
I wanna live like common people[00:00:26]
I wanna do whatever common people do[00:00:29]
I wanna sleep with common people[00:00:32]
I wanna sleep with common people like you[00:00:34]
Well what else could I do I said[00:00:39]
I'll see what I can do[00:00:41]
I took her to a supermarket[00:00:48]
I don't know why[00:00:51]
But I had to start it somewhere[00:00:51]
So it started there[00:00:54]
I said pretend you've got no money[00:00:59]
She just laughed and said oh you're so funny[00:01:02]
I said yeah well I can't see[00:01:06]
Anyone else smiling in here[00:01:08]
Are you sure you want to live like common people[00:01:10]
You want to see whatever common people see[00:01:13]
You want to sleep with common people[00:01:16]
You want to sleep with common people like me[00:01:18]
But she didn't understand[00:01:22]
She just smiled and held my hands[00:01:25]
Rent a flat above a shop[00:01:29]
Cut your hair and get a job[00:01:31]
Smoke some fags and play some pool[00:01:34]
Pretend you never went to school[00:01:37]
But still you'll never get it right[00:01:40]
When you're lyin' in bed at night[00:01:42]
Watching roaches climb the wall[00:01:45]
If you call your dad he could stop it all[00:01:48]
You'll never live like common people[00:01:52]
You'll never do whatever common people do[00:01:54]
You'll never fail like common people[00:01:57]
You'll never watch your life slide out of view[00:02:00]
And dance and drink and screw[00:02:03]
Because there's nothing else to do[00:02:06]
Sing along with the common people[00:02:32]
Sing along and it might just get you through[00:02:35]
Laugh along with the common people[00:02:38]
Laugh along even though they're laughing at you[00:02:41]
And the stupid things that you do[00:02:44]
'Cause you think that poor is cool[00:02:46]
Like a dog lying in a corner[00:02:52]
It'll bite you and never warn you[00:02:54]
Look out they'll tear your insides out[00:02:56]
Because everybody hates a tourist[00:03:01]
Because everybody hates a tourist[00:03:03]
'Specially one who thinks it's all such a laugh[00:03:05]
Yeah and the chip stains'[00:03:08]
Grease will come out in the bath[00:03:10]
You wil never understand[00:03:12]
How it feels to live your life[00:03:15]
With no meaning or control[00:03:17]
And with nowhere left to go[00:03:20]
You're amazed that they exist[00:03:23]
And they burn so bright why[00:03:25]
You can only wonder why[00:03:27]
Rent a flat above a shop[00:03:34]
Cut your hair and get a job[00:03:37]
Smoke some fags and play some pool[00:03:39]
Pretend you never went to school[00:03:42]
But still you'll never get it right[00:03:45]
When you've laid in bed at night[00:03:47]
Watching roaches climb the wall[00:03:50]
If you call your dad he could stop it all[00:03:54]
You'll never live like common people[00:03:58]
You'll never do what common people do[00:03:59]
You'll never fail like common people[00:04:02]
You'll never watch your life slide out of view[00:04:04]
And dance and drink and screw[00:04:07]
Because there's nothing else to do[00:04:11]
You wanna sleep with the common people[00:04:15]
You wanna sleep with the common people[00:04:17]
You wanna sleep with the common people[00:04:20]
