Expectations
|
|
Monday morning wake up knowing that you've got to go to school
|
Tell your mum what to expect, she says it's right out of the blue
|
Do you went to work in Debenham's, because that's what they expect
|
Start in Lingerie, and Doris is your supervisor
|
And the head said that you always were a queer one from the start
|
For careers you say you went to be remembered for your art
|
Your obsessions get you known throughout the school for being strange
|
Making life-size models of the Velvet Underground in clay
|
|
In the queue for lunch they take the piss, you've got no appetite
|
And the rumour is you never go with boys and you are tight
|
So they jab you with a fork, you drop the tray and go berserk
|
While your cleaning up the mess the teacher's looking up your skirt
|
|
You've been used, you're confused
|
Write a song, I'll sing along
|
Are you calm? Settle down
|
Soon you will know that you are sane
|
You're on top of the world again
|
|
Monday morning wake up knowing that you've got to go to school
|
Mum said she had little choice when she was young, so why should you?
|
Do you went to work in C&A, 'cause that's what they expect
|
Move to Ladieswear and take a feel off Joe the Storeman
|
|
Tell Veronica the secrets of the boy you never kissed
|
She's got everything to gain 'cause she's a fat girl with a lisp
|
She sticks up for you when you get aggravation from the snobs
|
'Cause you can't afford a blazer and you're always wearing clogs
|
|
At the interval you lock yourself away inside a room
|
Heed of English gets you, asks you, "What the Hell do you think you're doing?"
|
"Do you think you're better then the other kids? Well get outside."
|
You've got permission, but you've got to make the bastard think he's right
|
