being grown up isn't half as fun as growing up these are the best days of our lives the only thing that matters is just following your heart and eventually you'll finally get it right
Monday morning wake up knowing that You've got to go to school Tell your mum what to expect She says this right out of the blue "Do you want to work in Debenham's cause that's what they expect Start in Lingerie, and Doris is your supervisor."
And the head said that you were always a queer one from the start For careers you say you want to be remembered for you art Your obsessions get you known throughout the school for being strange Making lifesize 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 your cleaning up the mess the teachers looking up your skirt.
Hey, you're being 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 Mum said she had little choice when she was young So why should you? Do you want to work in C&A cause that's what they expect? Move to Ladieswear and take a feel of Joe the Storeman.
Tell Veronica the secrets 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 aggrivation from the snobs Cause you can't afford a blazer and 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 than the other kids? Well get outside." You've got permission But you've got to make the bastard think he's right.
Hey, you're being 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.
And you're cool, and you know You're a star and you'll go far Listen to me I've been there Not just before you think it's hard You're on top of the world again.
You've got to go to school
Tell your mum what to expect
She says this right out of the blue
"Do you want to work in Debenham's
cause that's what they expect
Start in Lingerie, and Doris is your supervisor."
And the head said that you were always a queer one from the start
For careers you say you want to be remembered for you art
Your obsessions get you known throughout the school for being strange
Making lifesize 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 your cleaning up the mess the teachers looking up your skirt.
Hey, you're being 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
Mum said she had little choice when she was young
So why should you?
Do you want to work in C&A cause that's what they expect?
Move to Ladieswear and take a feel of Joe the Storeman.
Tell Veronica the secrets 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 aggrivation from the snobs
Cause you can't afford a blazer and 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 than the other kids? Well get outside."
You've got permission
But you've got to make the bastard think he's right.
Hey, you're being 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.
And you're cool, and you know
You're a star and you'll go far
Listen to me I've been there
Not just before you think it's hard
You're on top of the world again.
