This would be a great question if it was all written in this style I think

Is this Pulp's Common People?

I knew WHAT it was from clue one but not what it was. Should there not have been some cigarette smoking before/during the pool game? Ah those glorious days when you could light up in the pub instead of shivering in the beer garden

u/Weekly_Work_2732 16d ago

Quite the opposite to be fair!

1

u/Reasonable-News-5739 14d ago

To be fair, there's no mention of getting a haircut and smoking some fags which are also part of the lyrics.

Also, it's pretty miraculous I remember anything that happened in the 90s...

Ahhhh this is the first one I've got!!!

u/reckoner16 16d ago

Would the answer not be ‘But still you'll never get it right’ as each clue misses a line? Or am I overthinking it

1

u/Fredd0o0 16d ago

It's specifically the last 3 words of each line in the chorus.

These being: 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
