She came from Greece she had 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 I said "In that case I'll have rum and coca-cola." She said "Fine,"..... And then in thirty seconds time she said
"I want to live like common people I want to do whatever common people do I want to sleep with common people I want to sleep with common people like you."
Oh what else could I do? I said "I'll see what I can do."
I took her to a supermarket I don't know why, but I had to start it somewhere So it started .... there I said "Pretend you've got no money." But she just laughed an said "Oh you're so funny." I said "Yeah? Well I can't see anyone else smiling in here
Are you sure you want to live like common people You want to see whatever common people see You want to sleep with common people You want to sleep with common people like me?"
But she didn't ... understand She just smiled and held my hand
Rent a flat above a shop Cut your hair and get a job Smoke some fags and play some pool Pretend you never went to school But still you'll never get it right `cos when you're laid in bed at night Watching roaches climb the wall If you called your dad he could stop it all yeah
You'll never live like common people You'll never do what ever common people do You'll never fail like common people You'll never watch your life slide out of view
And then dance, and drink, and screw Because there's nothing else to do
Sing along with the common people Sing along and it might just get you through Laugh along with the common people Laugh along even though they're laughing at you And the stupid things that you do Because you think that poor is cool.
Like a dog lying in a corner They will bite you and never warn you Look out.
They'll tear your insides out
`cos everybody hates a tourist Especially one who thinks it's all such a laugh Yeah and the chip stain and grease will come out in the bath
You will never understand How it feels to live your life With no meaning or control And with nowhere left to go You are amazed that they exist And they burn so bright whilst you can only wonder why.

Never live like common people Never do what common people do Never fail like common people Never watch your life .... slide out of view

We can go to the tavern across the street from my place and I can be in the middle of a brawl instead of watching it from across the street!

3. So very true. I dated an heiress for several months years ago... |
|
Her life was so shallow and superficial I couldn't bear it and broke up with her. I've often wondered if she ever had a life.

6. My former business partner married a woman ten years his junior... |
|
...she had a degree in Art History and her parents were loaded and lived in the elite "Eastern Townships" in Quebec. She was beautiful, spoiled, schooled at an exclusive girls' school in Scotland, and spend her formative years in equestrian competitions, summering in Belize, wintering in Aspen, etc...
I think if her whenever I hear that song... they're divorced now, and I often wonder what ever happened to her. Even now she's only about 30.

7. It's a damned shame, but proves money can't buy happiness. |
|
This girl was outwardly pleasant and happy, but it seemed as if it were some sort of facade.
