By Belle & Sebastian

F# Bm F#
Monday morning wake up knowing that you've got to go to school
Bm F#
Tell your mum what to expect, she says it's right out of the blue
Bm F#
Do you went to work in Debenham's, because that's what they expect
Bm G D A G
Start in Lingerie, and Doris is your supervisor
F# Bm F#
And the head said that you always were a queer one from the start
Bm F#
For careers you say you went to be remembered for your art
Bm F#
Your obsessions get you known throughout the school for being strange
Bm G D
Making life-size models of the Velvet Underground in clay
F# Bm F#
In the queue for lunch they take the piss, you've got no appetite
Bm F#
And the rumour is you never go with boys and you are tight
Bm F#
So they jab you with a fork, you drop the tray and go berserk
Bm G D
While your cleaning up the mess the teacher's looking up your skirt
A G
You've been used,
D A G
Are you calm? Settle down
D A G
Write a song, I'll sing along
F#
Soon you will know that you are sane
G
You're on top of the world again
My apologies for the poor chord placement in this song. I cannot
fix them as I no longer have the record, but it ought to be fairly
obvious to anyone who knows the tune well. Theo.
