(4) Manel-Pulp "La Gent Normal "

(cover)


S'havia estat cultivant per Grècia i havia apres que és tan important viatjar,

i jo escoltava i deia. sí, sí,clar, clar.



Son pare acumolava grans riqueses i vaig dir caram en aquest cas anuli, siusplau la cervesa i posins vi car.

Li va semblar genial. Va fer un glopet, em va mirar i va dir:

vull viure com viuen els altres, vull fer les coses que fa la gent normal.

Vull dormir amb qui dormen els altres, Ficarme al llit amb gent normal com tu.

I assumint aquell paper vaig dir: bé, veurem què s'hi pot fer.

Vaig passejar-la pel mercat del barri, em va semblar un escenari adequat per començar.

vaig dir: d'acord, ara fes veure que no tens ni un duro.

I va riure i va dir ai, quina gracia, què boig que estàs, ets molt divertit.
Doncs, francament maca, no em sembla que ningú estigui rient per aquí, ja t'ho has pensat bé això de:

Viure com ho fan els altres, veure les coses que veu la gent normal. Dormir amb qui dormen els altres.

Ficar-te al llit amb gent normal com jo. Però ella no entenia res i m'agafava del bracet.

Comperteix pis amb estranys, busca una feina formal, puja al metro pels matins, ves al cine alguna nit.

Però igualment mai entendràs el que és anar comptant els anys. Esperant la solució que s'emporti tanta por.

Però tu mai viuràs com viuen els altres, ni patiras com pateix la gent normal, mai entendras el fracaç dels altres,

mai compendras com els somnis sens van quedant, en riure i beure i anar tirant, i si es pot follar de tan en tan.

Proba cantar si ho fan els altres, canta fort si et sembla interessant,

Riu en pulmó si ho fan els altres, però no testranyi que si et gires que set riguin de tu.

Que no et sorprengui si es tan farts de tu jo jugar a ser com és la gent normal.
Vull dormir amb gent normal com tu, vull dormir amb gent normal com tu...

Pulp - Common People (original)

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
