[00:25.58]I said "In that case I'll have rum and coca-cola
[00:28.41]She said "fine"
[00:31.77]And then in 30 seconds time she said
[00:35.87]"I want to live like common people

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 rum and coca-cola
She said "fine"
And then in 30 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
