Juno movie - Expectations lyrics

Song by Belle & Sebastian<br /><br>

Monday morning wake up knowing that you've gotta go to school<br>

Tell your mum what to expect, she says it's right out of the blue<br>

Do you want to work in Debenham's, 'cause that's what they expect<br>

Start in Lingerie, and Doris is your supervisor<br>

<br>

And the head said that you always were a queer one from the start<br>

For careers you say you wanna be remembered for your art<br>

Your obsessions get you known throughout the school for being strange<br>

Making life-size models of the Velvet Underground in clay<br>

<br>

In the queue for lunch they take the piss, you've got no appetite<br>

And the rumour is you never go with boys and you are tight<br>

So they jab you with a fork, you drop the tray and go berserk<br>

While you're cleaning up the mess the teacher's looking up your skirt<br>

<br>

Hey you've been used <br>

Are you calm? Settle down<br>

Write a song, I'll sing along<br>

Soon you will know that you are sane<br>

You're on top of the world again<br>

<br>

Monday morning wake up knowing that you've gotta go to school<br>

Tell your mum what to expect, she says it's right out of the blue<br>

Do you wanna work in C&A, 'cause that's what they expect<br>

Move to Lingerie and take a feel off Joe the Storeman<br>

<br>

Tell Veronica the secret of the boy you never kissed<br>

She's got everything to gain 'cause she's a fat girl with a lisp<br>

She sticks up for you when you get aggravation from the snobs<br>

'Cause you can't afford a blazer girl you're always wearing clogs<br>

<br>

At the interval you lock yourself away inside a room<br>

Head of English gets you, asks you, "What the Hell do you think you're doing?"<br>

"Do you think you're better then the other kids? Well get outside."<br>

You've got permission, but you've got to make the bastard think he's right<br>

<br>

Hey you've been used <br>

Write a song, I'll sing along<br>

Are you calm? Settle down<br>

Soon you will know that you are sane<br>

You're on top of the world again<br>

<br>

And you're cool and you know<br>

You're a star, you're going far<br>

Think of me as a friend<br>

Not just the boy who played guitar<br>

You're on top of the world again.<br>

<br>
