Expectations Lyrics

Expectations lyrics

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
