[C]
She came from Greece, she had a thirst for knowledge.
She studied sculpture at St.
Martin's [G] College, that's where I am.
[C] She told me that her death was clodrid.
I said, in that case, will that woman call the cops?
She said, [G] fine.
And then in 30 seconds time, she [F] said, I want to live like common people.
I want to do whatever [C] common people do.
I want to sleep with common people.
I want to sleep with common people like [G] you.
What else could I do?
I said, oh, I'll see what [C] I can do.
I took her to a supermarket.
I don't know why, but I had to start it [G] somewhere.
So it started there.
[C] I said, pretend you got no money.
And she just laughed and said, you're so funny.
[G] I said, yeah.
I can't see anyone else smiling.
Are you sure?
[F] You want to live like common people.
You want to see whatever common [C] people see.
Want to sleep with common people.
You want to sleep with common [G] people like me.
But she didn't understand.
Then she just smiled and held my [C] hand.
I went to fight your barber shop.
I cut your hair and get it done.
I slept [G] on flats and went to school.
Pretend you never went to school.
Still you [C] never get it right.
It's when you're in bed at night.
Watching [G] roaches climb the wall.
If you told your daddy he could stop it.
Oh [F] yeah.
You'll never live like common people.
You'll never do whatever common [C] people do.
You'll never play like common people.
You'll never watch your life slide [G] out of view.
You'll never dance like free.
Because there's nothing else [C] to do.
[G]
[C]
Sing [G]
[F] along with the common people.
Sing along and it might just [C] get you through.
Laugh along with the common people.
Laugh along even when you're [G] laughing at you.
And it's a bad thing when you're through.
Because you think that's all [C] that's good.
Want to live with common people like you.
Want to live with common people like you.
