She came from Greece, she had a thirst for knowledge
She studied sculpture at Saint Martins College
That's where I caught her eye
She told me that her dad was loaded
I said, "In that case I'll [bad word] and Coca-Cola"
She said, "Fine"
And then in thirty seconds' time, she said

"I wanna live [bad word] people
I wanna do [bad word] people do
Wanna sleep [bad word] people
I wanna sleep [bad word] people like you"
Oh, what else could I do?
I said, "I'll, I'll see what I can do"

I took her to a supermarket
I don't know why, but I had to start it somewhere
So it started there
I said: "Pretend you've got no money"
And she just laughed and said, "Oh, you're so funny."
I said, "Yeah?
Huh, I can't see anyone else smiling in here
Are you sure
You wanna live [bad word] people
You wanna see [bad word] people see
Wanna sleep [bad word] people
You wanna sleep [bad word] people like me?"
But she didn't understand
She just smiled and held my hand

Rent a flat above a shop
Cut your hair and get a job
Smoke some [bad word] and play some pool
Pretend you never went to school
But still you'll never get it right
'Cos when you're laying in bed at night
Watching roaches climb the wall
If you called your dad he could stop it all, yeah
You'll never live [bad word] people
You'll never do [bad word] people do
Never fail [bad word] people
You'll never watch your life slide out of view
And then dance and drink and [bad word] Because there's nothing else to do

Sing along with [bad word] people
Sing along and it might just get you through
Laugh along with [bad word] people
Laugh along even though they're laughing at you
And the stupid things that you do
Because you think that poor is cool

Like a dog lying in a corner
They will bite you and never warn you
Look out, they'll tear your insides out
'Cos everybody hates a tourist
Especially one who thinks it's all such a laugh
Yeah, and the chip stains and grease [bad word] out in the bath

You will never understand
How it feels to live your life
With no meaning or control
And with nowhere left to go
You are amazed that they exist
And they burn so bright
Whilst you can only wonder why

Rent a flat above a shop
Cut your hair and get a job
Smoke some [bad word] and play some pool
Pretend you never went to school
But still you'll never get it right
'Cos when you're laying in bed at night
Watching roaches climb the wall
If you called your Dad he could stop it all, yeah

Never live [bad word] people
Never do [bad word] people do
Never fail [bad word] people
Never watch your life slide out of view
And then dance and drink and [bad word] Because there's nothing else to do

Wanna live [bad word] people like you
Wanna live [bad word] people like you
Wanna live [bad word] people like you
Wanna live [bad word] people like you
Wanna live [bad word] people like you
Wanna live [bad word] people like you
Wanna live [bad word] people like you, la la la la
Ooh, la la la la
Ooh, la la la la
Ooh, la la-la-la la-la
Oh, yeah
