[Intro]
[Verse 1]
Monday morni
ng wake up kno
wing that you
gotta go to sc
hool
Tell your mum
what to expect
, she says it'
s right out of
the blue
Do you wanna w
ork in Debenha
m's, because t
hat's what the
y expect
Start in linge
rie, and Doris
is your super
visor
And the head
said that you
always were a
queer one fro
m the start
For careers yo
u say you wann
a be remembere
d for your art
Your obsession
gets you know
n throughout t
he school for
being strange
Making life-si
ze models of t
he Velvet Unde
rground in cla
y
In the queue
for lunch the
y take the pis
s, you've got
no appetite
And the rumour
is you never
go with boys a
nd you are tig
ht
So they jab yo
u with a fork,
you drop the
tray and go be
rserk
While you're c
leaning up the
mess the teac
her's looking
up your skirt
[Chorus]
Hey, you've be
en used,
Are you calm
? Settle down
Write a song
, I'll sing al
ong
Soon you will
know that you
are sane
You're on top
of the world a
gain

Do you wanna w

Move to linger
ie and take a
feel off Joe t

Tell Veronic

f the boy you
never kissed
She's got ever
ything to gain
'cause she's
a fat girl wit
h a lisp
She sticks up
for you when y
ou get aggrava
tion from the
snobs
'Cause you can
't afford a bl
azer, girl you
're always wea
ring clogs
At the inter
val you lock y
ourself away i
nside a room
Head of Englis
h gets you, as
ks you, "what
the hell do yo
u think you're
doing?"
"Do you think
you're better
than the other
kids? Well ge
t outside."
You've got per

You're on top

And you're c

You're a sta

Think of me
as a friend
Not just the b

guitar
You're on top
of the world a
gain
