Monday morning wake up knowing that you've got to go to school   Tell your mum what to expect, she says it's right out of the blue   Do you wanna work in Debenham's, because that's what they expect   Start in Lingerie, and Doris is your supervisor      And the head said that you always were a queer one from the start   For careers you say you went to be remembered for your art   Your obsessions get you known throughout the school for being strange   Making life-size 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 teacher's looking up your skirt      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      Monday morning wake up knowing that you've got to go to school   Tell your mum what to expect, she says it's right out of the blue   Do you wanna work in C&A, 'cause that's what they expect   Move to laundry and take a feel off Joe the Storeman      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      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 then the other kids? Well get outside."   You've got permission, but you've got to make the bastard think he's right      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       And you're cool and you know    You're a star, you're going far    Think of me as a friend    Not just the boy who played guitar    You're on top of the world again
