capo 2 — sounds 2 semitones higherIntro
Verse 1
Monday morning wake up knowing that you gotta 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 wanna be remembered for your art
Your obsession gets 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 you're cleaning up the mess the teacher's looking up your skirt
Chorus
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
Break
Verse 2
Monday morning wake up knowing that you gotta 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 lingerie and take a feel off Joe the store man
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 than the other kids? Well get outside."
You've got permission, but you got to make the bastard think he's right
Chorus
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'll go far
Think of me as a friend
Not just the boy who played guitar
You're on top of the world again
