[C] _ _ _ _ She came from Greece.
She had a thirst for knowledge.
She studied sculpture at St.
[G] Martin's
College.
That's where I caught her eye.
_ _ [C] She told me that her dad was loaded.
I said, in
that case, I'll have a rum [G] and Coca-Cola.
She said, fine. _
And in 30 seconds time, [F] she
said, I want to live like common people.
I want to do [C] whatever common people do.
I want
to sleep with common people.
I want to sleep with [G] common people like you. _
Well, what else
could I do?
I said, I'll see [C] what I can do. _ _ _
_ _ _ _ I took her to a supermarket.
I don't know
why, but I had to start it somewhere.
[G] _ So it started there.
_ _ _ _ [C] I said, pretend you've got
no money.
She just laughed and said, [G] oh, you're so funny.
I said, yeah.
Well, I can't
see anyone else smiling in here.
[F] Are you sure you want to live like common people?
You want
to see whatever [C] common people see?
You want to sleep with common people?
You want to sleep
with common people [G] like me?
But she didn't understand.
She just smiled and held [C] my hand.
Raise a flag above a shop.
Cut your hair and get a job.
[G] Smudge some slags and play some
fool.
Pretend you never went to school.
But still, [C] you'll never get it right.
When you're
lying in bed at night, [G] watching roaches climb the wall.
If you called your dad, he could
stop it all.
[F] Yeah.
You'll never live like common people.
You'll never do whatever [C] common
people do.
You'll never fail like common people.
You'll never watch your life slide
out [G] of view and dance and drink and screw.
Because there's nothing else to do.
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ [G] _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ [C] _ _ _ _ _
_ _ [G] _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ [F] Sing along with the common people.
Sing along.
Let the fight just get you through.
[C] _ _ _ Laugh
along.
Even though they're laughing at you and the stupid things that you do because
you think that war is [C] cool.
_ _ Like a dog lying in a corner, they'll bite you and never warn
[G] you to look out.
They'll tear your insides out [C] because everybody hates a tourist.
Everybody
hates a tourist, especially one who thinks it's [G] all such a lie.
Yeah.
And the chip stains
grease will clobber the bags.
[F] You will never understand how it feels to live your life
with [C] no meaning or control.
And with nowhere left to go.
[G] You're amazed that they exist
and they've earned so great money.
You're gonna be wondering why. _ _
_ _ Where's your plastic bottle shop?
Cut your hair and get a job.
[G] Smoke some fag like who?
Pretend you never went to school.
But [C] still you'll never get it right.
When you've laid
in bed at night [G] watching roaches climb the wall.
If you called your dad, he could [F] stop it. _ _ _ _ _
