ah fkk ah fkk.. ya da Pulp / Common People

She came from Greece, she had a thirst for knowledge / She studied sculpture at Saint 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 30 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” / Well 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 / and 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 whatever 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 although 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’s 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 / 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 / ’cause 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 whatever 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 / I want to live with common people like you…..
