Expectations Tab

by Belle And Sebastian


Capo on 2nd fret

                                                     
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
