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