Expectations

Intro : (...) 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 the blue Do you want to work in Debenham's 'Cause 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 want to be remebered for your art Your obsessions get you known throughout the school for being strange Making lifesize 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 beserk While you're 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 the blue Do you want 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 secret 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 Head of English gets you, asks you "What the Hell do you think you're doing ?" "Do you think you're better than 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.
