DO
 She came from Greece she had a thirst 

for knowledge

She studied sculpture at Saint Martin's College

DO
 She told me that her dad was loaded

I said, in that case I'll have rum and Coca-Cola
         SOL7

I said I'll, I'll see what I can do

DO
 I took her to a supermarket

I don't know why
                          SOL
But I had to start it somewhere

So it started there
DO
 I said pretend you've got no money

She just laughed and said
                           SOL
Oh you're so funny I said; yeah

I can't see anyone else smiling in here

Are you sure?

You wanna sleep with common people like me

But she didn't understand
                            DO
She just smiled and held my hand

Rent a flat above a shop
                      
Cut your hair and get a job
           SOL
Smoke some fags and play some pool

Pretend you never went to school
                 DO
But still you'll never get it right

'Cause when you're laid in bed at night
         SOL
Watching roaches climb the wall
 
If you called your dad he could stop it all, yeah

FA
 You'll never live like common people
                                        DO
You'll never do whatever common people do

You'll never fail like common people
                                          SOL
You'll never watch your life slide out of view

And you dance and drink and screw
                                 DO
Because there's nothing else to do

DO          SOL         DO      SOL

FA
 Sing along with the common people
                                      DO
Sing along and it might just get you through

Laugh along with the common people

Laugh along even though 
                           SOL         
they're really laughing at you
           
And the stupid things that you do
                               DO
Because you think that poor is cool...

Come Improvvisare

Chitarra Acustica

Common People è un brano composto e inciso dai Pulp, contenuto nell'album Different Class pubblicato nel 1995. Quinto lavoro in studio per la band britannica, riscuote ottimi consensi di pubblico tanto da aggiudicarsi il premio britannico-irlandese "Mercury Prize" l'anno successivo. La canzone è il primo singolo estratto dal disco, il cui testo nasce da un incontro tra il frontman Jarvis Cocker con una studentessa greca che, in maniera snobistica, voleva trasferirsi in un sobborgo popolare di Londra per un semplice "turismo di classe".
