Pulp--Common People （和貧富差距有關的歌？）

【 COMMON PEOPLE 】

Cocker / Senior / Mackey / Doyle / Banks

She came from Greece she had a thirst for knowledge,
she studied sculpture at Saint Martins College,
that's where I caught her eye.

我在聖馬丁學院遇見一個學雕塑且渴求知識的希臘女孩，
就在那，我們相遇了。

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 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."

在第三十二次
她告訴我說：「我爸爸很有錢喔！
可我想當個平凡人，
我想做一切普通人所做的事，
我想跟你這樣的普通人睡在一起。」
「嗯，我該怎麼做呢?」她這麼的問我

我說:「請給我一杯可樂、還有萊姆酒，我想一下該怎麼幫你吧。」

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',
but 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.

於是我帶她到超市去了,
我也不知道為什麼要帶她到超市耶
反正就來了啊

我說:「假裝自己沒有錢喔。」
她只是笑笑的說：「哈哈，你真愛說笑耶。」
我想沒有人聽到這樣會笑的出來吧?

妳確定要當個普通人嗎？
妳確定你想經歷普通人的生活嗎？
妳想跟普通人睡啊？
像我這樣的？

她還是不懂我說什麼，只是笑笑的握著我的手

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 called your dad he could stop it all.

妳可以租間小公寓，
剪去長髮，找份工作
閒來無事叼根菸，打場撞球

假裝自己不再上學去
但永遠不會抓到要領的

因為當妳半夜躺在床上
望著牆上爬來爬去的蟑螂

如果打通電話給妳的爸爸
妳就能逃離這一切啊

You'll never live like common people,
you'll never do whatever 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.

妳永遠無法活的像個平凡人
妳也永遠無法做平凡人所做

因為妳一點都不了解,
和普通人一樣的失落
看著日子一天一天在眼前消逝
只能跳舞喝酒做愛
因為他們除此無事可做啊

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.

跟普通人一起唱吧！
也許會讓妳看清一點
跟平凡人一起笑吧
即使他們在笑妳所做的蠢事
因為妳覺得貧窮很酷啊
