Belle & Sebastian - Expectations Lyrics
Monday morning wake up knowing that youve got to go to schoolTell your mum what to expect, she says its right out of the blueDo you went to work in debenhams, because thats what they expectStart in lingerie, and doris is your supervisorAnd the head said that you always were a queer one from the startFor careers you say you went to be remembered for your artYour obsessions get you known throughout the school for being strangeMaking life-size models of the velvet underground in clayIn the queue for lunch they take the piss, youve got no appetiteAnd the rumour is you never go with boys and you are tightSo they jab you with a fork, you drop the tray and go berserkWhile your cleaning up the mess the teachers looking up your skirtYouve been used, youre confusedWrite a song, Ill sing alongAre you calm? settle downSoon you will know that you are saneYoure on top of the world againMonday morning wake up knowing that youve got to go to schoolMum said she had little choice when she was young, so why should you?Do you went to work in c&a, cause thats what they expectMove to ladieswear and take a feel off joe the storemanTell veronica the secrets of the boy you never kissedShes got everything to gain cause shes a fat girl with a lispShe sticks up for you when you get aggravation from the snobscause you cant afford a blazer and youre always wearing clogsAt the interval you lock yourself away inside a roomHeed of english gets you, asks you, what the hell do you think youre doing?Do you think youre better then the other kids? well get outside.Youve got permission, but youve got to make the bastard think hes right
