Expectations (Remastered Version)
Monday morning wake up knowing that you’ve got to go to school.
Tell your mum what to expect, she said it's right out of the blue.
And the head said that you always were a queer one from the start.
For careers you say you want 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 rumor 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 is looking up your skirt.
Hey, you've been used.
Are you calm? settle down.
Write a song, Ill 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 said it's right out of the blue.
Do you want to work in C&A, cause that’s what they expect.
Move to lingerie and take a feel off Joe the store man.
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, but you've got to make the bastard think he's right.
Hey, you've been used.
Write a song, Ill sing along.
Are you calm? settle down.
Soon you will know that you are sane.
You're on top of the world again.
Are you cool, and you know?
You're a star and you'll go far.
Think of me as a friend.
Not just a boy who's playing guitar.
You're on top of the world again.
