Common People by Pulp
Normal People
(autistic community version)
I come from Scotland and I have a thirst for knowledge
I studied photography at Reid Kerr College
That’s where I
Found my eye
I never wanted to be loaded
I really love the smell of rum and Coca-Cola
That is fine
And I’d don’t like drinking wine
I said
I’m not like normal people
Don’t understand what it is normal people do
Wanna be an autistic person
Not mask along with normal people
Like you
Well what else could I do
I said I’ll be me, you can do you
I went to a supermarket
I don’t know why
But they are always staring in there
And the music blares
I got stressed and lost my money
You just laughed and said
Oh you’re so funny
I said; yeah
I can’t see anyone else smiling in here
Are you sure?
I’m not like normal people
Don’t understand what it is normal people do
Wanna be an autistic person
Not mask along with normal people
Like you
But you didn’t understand
You just tried to hold my hand
Panic attack at a shop
Gave it all and lost my job
Tried so hard but called a fool
Lost me by going to school
But I was in for a fight
I would wake up to a fright
Memories trapped behind a wall
I wore the mask and now I feel it all, yeah
I couldn’t live like normal people
I couldn’t do whatever normal people do
I always failed as a normal person
Held back while my life slid out of view
And you say “Just be you”
But that’s what I’ve been trying to do
Fit in with the normal people
Fit in and it might just get me through
Laugh along with the normal people
Laugh along but I know they’re laughing at me
And the different things that I do
Because you think that cruel is cool
I don’t want to be a normal person like you
I don’t want to be a normal person like you
I don’t want to be a normal person like you
I don’t want to be a normal person like you
I don’t want to be a normal person like you
I don’t want to be a normal person like you
No, nah, nah, nah, nah
No, nah, nah, nah, nah
No, nah, nah, nah, nah
No, nah, nah, nah, nah
It’s true...
All my best and love
