Expectations Lyrics - Tigermilk - Belle And Sebastian

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 want to work at 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 remembered for your art 

Your obsession gets 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 you're cleaning up the mess the teacher's looking up your skirt

LATEST SONG: Post Malone - 'Goodbyes' - Lyrics ft. Young Thug 

NEW SONG: Ed Sheeran - 'BLOW' Lyrics ft. Chris Stapleton & Bruno Mars 

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 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 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 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, 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 

Are you cool and you know 

You're a star and you'll go far 

Listen to me as a friend 

Not just a boy who play guitar 

You're on top of the world again
