Expectations Lyrics

Belle And Sebastian

Monday morning wake up knowing that you've gotta 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 wanna 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 rumor is you never go with boys that you are tight So they jab you with a fork, you drop the tray and go berserk While you're cleaning up the mess the teacher's looking up your skirt
Hey you've been used Why you can't 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 of the blue" You wanna work in C&A, 'cause that's what they expect Move to lingerie and take a feel off Joe the store man
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 girl 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 then the other kids? Well get outside You've got permission, you've got to make the bastard think he's right
Hey you've been used Write a song, I'll sing along Why you can't settle down? Soon you will know that you are sane You're on top of the world again
Are you true and you know You're a star and you'll go far Listen to me as a friend not just look okay guitar You're on top of the world again

Tell Us What These Lyrics Mean To You...

Janie17

The last bit actually goes "Think of me as a friend, not just the boy who played guitar"

And in the chorus "Are you calm? Settle down."
