Jarvis Cocker & Pulp produced some great songs in their time with this and Disco 2000 probably being the most memorable.
Common People even got an amusing political spoof version just before the UK General election. It would be slightly funnier if it wasn’t becoming so prophetic.
“I want to 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.”
amazing
Never really paid much attention to this song before but after watching them on Reading 2011 I think it is brilliant.
Fantastic Lyrics.
Im not a common person and im proud.
At what point was this censored?…” dance and drink and screw because there’s nothing else to do”
“screw” has been surgically removed leaving a gaping hole (forgive the choice of words)
Im the chick in cowboy boots with a Masters degree;)
