Common People By Pulp – Common People Chords (Capo 3)
Common People Chords/Lyrics/Verse
A
She came from Greece she had a thirst for knowledge
E
She studied sculpture at Saint Martin’s College, that’s where I caught her eye.
A
She told me that her Dad was loaded
I said in that case I’ll have a rum and coca-cola.
E D
She said fine and in thirty seconds time she said, I want to live like common people
A
I want to do whatever common people do, I want to sleep with common people
Common People Chords/Lyrics/Chorus
E
I want to sleep with common people like you.
Well what else could I do – I said I’ll see what I can do.
Common People Chords/Lyrics/Verse 2
A
I took her to a supermarket
E
I don’t know why but I had to start it somewhere, it started there.
A
I said pretend you’ve got no money, she just laughed and said oh you’re so funny.
E
I said yeah? Well I can’t see anyone else smiling in here.
Common People Chords/Lyrics/Chorus
D
Are you sure you want to live like common people
You want to see whatever common people see
A
You want to sleep with common people,
you want to sleep with common people like me.
E
But she didn’t understand, she just smiled and held my hand.
Common People Chords/Lyrics/Bridge
A
Rent a flat above a shop, cut your hair and get a job.
E
Smoke some fags and play some pool, pretend you never went to school.
A
still you’ll never get it right
E
‘cos when you’re laid in bed at night watching roaches climb the wall
If you call your Dad he could stop it all.
Common People Chords/Lyrics/Chorus
D
You’ll never live like common people
You’ll never do what common people do
A
You’ll never fail like common people
E
You’ll never watch your life slide out of view, and dance and drink and screw
Because there’s nothing else to do.
D
Sing along with the common people, sing along and it might just get you thru’
A
Laugh along with the common people
E
Laugh along even though they’re laughing at you and the stupid things that you do.
Because you think that poor is cool.
D
I want to live with common people like you,
I want to live with common people like you,
I want to live with common people like you,
I want to live with common people like you
La La La
Oh youuu
La La La
Oh you
Pulp
Pulp were an English rock band formed in Sheffield in 1978. Their best-known line-up from their heyday (1992–1997) consisted of Jarvis Cocker (vocals, guitar, keyboards), Russell Senior (guitar, violin), Candida Doyle (keyboards), Nick Banks (drums, percussion), Steve Mackey (bass) and Mark Webber (guitar, keyboards).
Throughout the 1980s the band struggled to find success, but gained prominence in the UK in the mid-1990s with the release of the albums His ‘n’ Hers in 1994 and particularly Different Class in 1995, which reached the number one spot in the UK Albums Chart. The album spawned four top ten singles, including “Common People” and “Sorted for E’s & Wizz”, both of which reached number two in the UK Singles Chart. Pulp’s musical style during this period consisted of disco-influenced pop-rock coupled with references to British culture in their lyrics in the form of a “kitchen sink drama”-style. Cocker and the band became reluctant figures in the Britpop movement, and were nominated for the Mercury Music Prize in 1994 for His ‘n’ Hers; they won the prize in 1996 for Different Class and were nominated again in 1998 for This Is Hardcore. Pulp headlined the Pyramid Stage of the Glastonbury Festival twice and were regarded among the Britpop “big four”, along with Oasis, Blur and Suede.
The band released We Love Life in 2001 and then took a decade-long break, having sold more than 10 million records. Pulp reunited and played live again in 2011, with dates at the Isle of Wight Festival, Reading and Leeds Festivals, Pohoda, Sziget Festival, Primavera Sound, the Exit festival, and the Wireless Festival. A number of additional concert dates were afterward added to their schedule. In January 2013, Pulp released “After You”, a song originally demoed for We Love Life, as a digital download single. It was the band’s first single release since “Bad Cover Version” in 2002. On 9 March 2014, Pulp and filmmaker Florian Habicht premiered the feature documentary Pulp: A Film about Life, Death & Supermarkets at SXSW Music and Film Festival in Austin, Texas. The film toured the international film festival circuit and was released theatrically by Oscilloscope Laboratories in the US in November 2014. It is the first film about Pulp (and Sheffield) that has been made in collaboration with the band.
