Chasing Dreams

Common People – Pulp – Choral arr by Stephanie Brown

VERSE 1 
Soprano, A1, Tenor: 
She came from Greece, she had a thirst for knowledge
She studied sculpture at Saint Martin's College

She told me that her Dad was loaded
I said, "In that case, I'll have rum and Coca-Cola."
And then in thirty-seconds time she said;

A2, Bass:
Na x 7 
That's where I
Caught her eye
Na x 7 
She said ‘fine’

CHORUS
A1, Tenor:
I wanna live like common people
I wanna do whatever common people do
Wanna sleep with common people
I wanna sleep with common people like you."

Soprano, A2, Bass: 
I wanna live like common people
I wanna sleep with common people

A1, Tenor, Bass:  
Well, what else could I do?
I said, "I'll... I'll see what I can do."

Soprano, A2:
Do do do do do do,  do do do do

VERSE 2
Soprano, A1, Tenor:
So I took her to a supermarket
I don't know why but I had to start it somewhere

I said, "Pretend you got no money."
she just laughed and said, "you're so funny."
I can't see anyone else smiling in here

A2, Bass:
Na x 7
So it started. There. 
Na x 7
I said yeah

Bass: Are you sure?
     A2: Are you sure?
        A1: Are you sure?
           Sop: Are you sure?

CHORUS 2
A1, Tenor:
You wanna live like common people
You wanna see whatever common people see
Wanna sleep with common people
You wanna sleep with common people like me?

Soprano, A2, Bass: 
You wanna live like, common people
You wanna sleep with, common people

A1, Tenor, Bass:
But she didn't understand
And she just smiled and held my hand

BRIDGE
A1, A2, Tenor, Bass:
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
Still you'll never get it right
'Cause when you're laid in bed at night
Watching roaches climb the wall
If you called your dad he could stop it all yeah

Sop, Bass: 
Pa pa pa pa pa pa pa pa     pa pa pa pa pa pa pa   
Pa pa pa pa pa pa pa pa     pa pa pa pa pa pa pa  x2
Uh Uh Uh     Uh Uh Uh
Pa pa pa pa pa pa pa pa     pa pa pa pa pa pa pa   x2 
Uh Uh Uh 
Stop. It. All.

CHORUS 3 
A1, Tenor:
You'll never live like common people
You'll never do what ever common people do
Never fail like common people
You'll never watch your life slide out of view
And then dance, and drink, and screw
Because there's nothing else to do!

Sop, A2, Bass:
You’ll never live like, common people
You’ll never fail like, common people

Soprano, A2:
Do do do do do do,  do do do do

INTERLUDE
Soprano, Bass: 
Pa pa pa pa pa pa pa pa     pa pa pa pa pa pa pa   x 3
Uh uh uh   uh uh uh
Pa pa pa pa pa pa pa pa     pa pa pa pa pa pa pa    x 2

A1, A2, Tenor: 
You’ll never live like common people
You’ll never live like common people
You’ll never live like common people do  - not you!

You’ll never live like common people
You’ll never live like common people

All (spoken): 
Na na na      na na na
Never never 
Na na na na na na na! 


CHORUS 4 (last Chorus)
All: 
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



END
A2, Bass: 
You wanna live like common people 	
A1: You wanna sleep with common people
	Tenor: You’ll never fail like common people
		Soprano: You’ll never live like common people
