Expectations (Remastered Version) - 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 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
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 tha
T 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 c&a 'cause
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
'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
Girl you're always wearing clogs
At the interval you lock yourself
Away inside a room
Head 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
Hey You've been used
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
And you're cool and you know
You're a star you'll go far
Think of me as a friend
Not just the boy who played guitar
You're on top of the world again
