I had a match,
But she had a lighter,
I had a flame,
But she had a fire,

I was bright,
But she was much brighter,
I was high,
But she was the sky,

Oh, Baby,
I was bound,
For Mexico,
Oh, Baby,
I was bound,
To let
you
go,

I don’t know much
about Cinco De Mayo,
I’m never sure,
What it’s all about,

But I said
I want you,
And you don’t believe me,
You said
you want me,
But I’ve got my doubts,

Oh, Baby,
I was bound,
For Mexico,
Oh, Baby,
I was bound,
To let
you
go,

I had a match,
But she had a lighter,
I had a flame,
But she had a fire,

I was bright,
But she was much brighter,
I was high,
But she was the sky,

Oh, Baby,
I was bound,
For Mexico,
Oh, Baby,
I was bound,
To let
you
go

we were standing in a garden
and i had a machine that made silence
it just sucked up the whole opinionated din
and there were no people on the payroll
and there were no monkeys on our backs
and i said, show me what you look like
without skin

The Dude abides.

She came from Greece she had a thirst for knowledge,
she studied sculpture at Saint Martin’s College,
that’s where I,
caught her eye.
She told me that her Dad was loaded,
I said “In that case I’ll have a rum and coca-cola.”
She said “Fine.”
and in thirty seconds time she said,

“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.”

Well what else could I do -
I said “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,
she just laughed and said,
“Oh you’re so funny.”
I said “yeah?
Well I can’t see anyone else smiling in here.
Are you sure you want to live like common people,
you want to see whatever common people see,
you want to sleep with common people,
you want to sleep with common 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 fags and play some pool,
pretend you never went to school.
But still you’ll never get it right,
cos when you’re laid in bed at night,
watching roaches climb the wall,
if you call your Dad he could stop it all.

You’ll never live like common people,
you’ll never do what common people do,
you’ll never fail like common people,
you’ll never watch your life slide out of view,
and dance and drink and screw,
because there’s nothing else to do.

Sing along with the common people,
sing along and it might just get you through,
laugh along with the common people,
laugh along even though they’re laughing at you,
and the stupid things that you do.
Because you think that poor is cool.

I want to live with common people,
I want to live with common people like you!

Pulp – Common People

Because he wrote a book with a big arrow pointing to his chin on the cover. They don’t make ‘em like that anymore.

As nico well knows, I’m deleriously infatuated with her – aka she gives me suburban fever – and she, being twice the smartass I am, makes me twice the dumbass that she is, which is a spongeworthy achievement indeed! she said hello to the bruce without saying hello to his boomstick (at least not the remington) so she’s gritty-tough like a sexy yak’s shaving scum! Hot. adds a point

Nico, I’m only training my body as a vessel for my mind. I should catch up (catsup?) before lunchtime tomorrow. we’ll have a rave sandwich on techno bread, electric picnic-style before you leave for Italy, forgetting-me-forver.

!Buen provecho princessa!
