Letra

[Verse 1]
Monday morning, wake up knowing
That you've got to go to school
Tell your mom what to expect
She says, it's right, out of the blue
Do you want to work in Debenhams
Because that's what they expect
Start in lingerie
And Doris is your supervisor
[Verse 2]
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
[Verse 3]
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's looking up your skirt
[Verse 4]
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
[Verse 5]
Monday morning, wake up knowing
That you've got to go to school
Tell your mom 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 store man
[Verse 6]
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
[Verse 7]
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
Than the other kids?
Well get outside
You've got permission
You've got to make the bastard
Think he's right
[Verse 8]
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
[Verse 9]
And you're cool and you know
You're a star and you'll go far
Listen to me as a friend
Not just a boy who plays guitar
You're on top of the world again
