Belle And Sebastian White Collar Boy Lyrics

White Collar Boy Lyrics

You're a white collar boy and you gave into the law

Give in to the pressure, the cops gonna getcha

You were a thieving dog at work until they caught your little paw

Your wage won't stretch to picking up checks



A custodial sentence she narrowly avoided

Community service you had to go along with

You're banging the rocks at the old city docks

Poor boy, poor boy, poor boy, poor boy

Poor boy, poor boy, poor boy, poor boy



You were chained to a girl that would kill you with a look

It's a nice way to die, she's so easy on the eye

She said, "Let's get away" but you played it by the book

You're a warden's pet, she's a screaming suffragette



And we ain't in prison, we'll just finish up and go home

She said, '€œNot for me, I've got plans for later on'€?

So she belted the sarge, she jumped on a barge

And you fell, you fell, you fell, you fell

You fell, you fell, you fell, you fell



White collar got dirt in your pants

You got egg in your hair, you got spit on your chin

You're a white collar scared to be bored

Blue Collar, she's opening doors

White collar boy on the run from the law



She said, '€œYou ain't ugly, you can kiss me if you like'€?

Go ahead and kiss her, you don't know what you're missing

Now baby you're special but there's something not quite right

She's a Venus in flares and you wanna split hairs



Oh I am innocent, you were the rocket

Things were okay till you took out the copper

Now leave me alone, get used to the chains

You're a pain, you're a pain, you're a pain, you're a pain

You're a pain, you're a pain, you're a pain, you're a pain



White collar got dirt in your pants

You got egg in your hair, you've got spit on your chin

You're a white collar got dirt in your pants

You got egg in your hair, you've got spit on your chin



You're a white collar, scared to be bored

Blue Collar, she's opening doors

White collar boy on the run from the law

The law, the law, the law



Get on your bike, get on your horse
