Low Expectations Lyrics by Edwyn Collins
Clean Lyric
Paragraph Lyric
(what's that)

So you've set out on your own
You've shut up shop
your leaving home

You feel no need to settle down
In the crippled crook
of your earth bound town

and you've been down this road before
which is not to say your bored
or that you shoudn't want for more
it's just your expectations
should be lower

There must be something more than this
more than ideal homes or domestic bliss
What is there left for you to do
'cos you've seen the future
and it's nothing new

and you've been down this road before
which is not to say your bored
or that you shoudn't want for more
it's just your expectations
should be lower
should be lower

(break)

and you've been down this road before
which is not to say your bored
or that you shoudn't want for more
it's just your expectations
should be lower
should be lower
(what's that)      So you've set out on your own   You've shut up shop   your leaving home      You feel no need to settle down   In the crippled crook    of your earth bound town      and you've been down this road before   which is not to say your bored   or that you shoudn't want for more   it's just your expectations    should be lower      There must be something more than this   more than ideal homes or domestic bliss   What is there left for you to do   'cos you've seen the future   and it's nothing new      and you've been down this road before   which is not to say your bored   or that you shoudn't want for more   it's just your expectations    should be lower   should be lower      (break)      and you've been down this road before   which is not to say your bored   or that you shoudn't want for more   it's just your expectations    should be lower   should be lower
