Expectations - Belle & Sebastian
Written by：Belle/Sebastian
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 want 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 through out 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
Hey you've been used
Are you calm settle down
Write a song I'll sing along
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
Tell your mum what to expect she says it's right
Out of the blue
Do you want to work at ca's because that's what
They expect
Move to lingerie and take a feel off joe the
Storeman
Tell Veronica the secrets of the boy you never kissed
She's got everything to gain
Because she's a fat girl with a lisp
She sticks up for you when you get aggravation
From the snobs
Because you can't afford a blazer girl
You're always wearing clogs
At the interval you lock yourself away inside a room
Heed of english get's 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
You've got to make the bastard
Think he's right
Hey you've been used
Write a song I'll sing along
Why you can't settle down
Soon you will know that you are sane
You're on top of the world again
Are you true and you know
You're a star and you'll go far
Listen to me as a friend
Not just look okay guitar
You're on top of the world again
