lyrics

Common People

She came from Dore she had a thirst for knowledge,
She studied Media at Shirecliffe college
That’s where I, caught her eye!
She told me that her dad were loaded,
I said “in that case I’ll have a pint of stones’ and a pie!”
And then she looked me in the eyes and she said,

“I wanna 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
“WAHEY! I’LL SEE WHAT I CAN DO!”

I took her down to Castle Market
I don’t know why but I ‘ad to start it somewhere
(where?)
so it started….there.

I said “pretend tha’s got no money”
She just laughed and said
“oh you’re so funny!” I said “yeah?”
“can you see any other bastard smilin’ in ‘ere?
Are tha sure? Tha wants to live like common people,
the wants to see whatever common people see,
tha wants to sleep wi’ common people,
tha wants to sleep wi’ common people, like ME!???”

But she didn’t understand, and she just smiled
And held my hand.
Rent a flat above a shop
Cut yer ‘air and get a job
Smoke some fags and play some pool
Pretend tha never went to skoyl
Still tha’ll never get it reyt
Cos when tha’rt laid in bed toneyt
Watchin’ roaches climb up wall
If tha phoned thi fatha he’d stop it all AAAH!

Tha’ll never live like common people
tha’ll never do what common people do,
tha’ll never fail like common people,
tha’ll never watch thi life slide outta view,
and then dance, and drink and screw (ooh!)
because there’s nothing else to do……

I wanna live with common people like you….
I wanna live with common people like you…
I wanna live with common people like you..
I wanna live with common people like you….
I wanna live with common people like you…
I wanna live with common people like you..
I wanna live with common people like you….
I wanna live with common people like
You-oo-oo-la-la-la
You-oo-oo-la-la-la-la-la oh AAAAH!

about

The Everly Pregnant Brothers Sheffield, UK

The Everly Pregnant Brothers were formed after a drunken dare by Pete Mckee and Richard Bailey. The success of the dare prompted the pair to draught in a bunch of disparate chaps who had three things in common, the love of beer, ukuleles and having a laugh.

5 Sheffielders with ukeleles and a big bloke with a lethal line in lyrics.
