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
