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.
