Belle and Sebastian

^F# Mon ^Bm day ^F# morning wake up knowing that you've got to go to school
^Bm Tel ^F# l your mum what to expect, she says it's right out of the blue
^Bm Do ^F# you went to work in Debenham's, because that's what they expect
^Bm Sta ^G rt ^D i ^A n ^G Lingerie, and Doris is your supervisor
^F# And ^Bm th ^F# e head said that you always were a queer one from the start
^Bm For ^F# careers you say you went to be remembered for your art
^Bm You ^F# r obsessions get you known throughout the school for being strange
^Bm Mak ^G in ^D g life-size models of the Velvet Underground in clay
^F# In ^Bm the ^F# queue for lunch they take the piss, you've got no appetite
^Bm And ^F# the rumour is you never go with boys and you are tight
^Bm So ^F# they jab you with a fork, you drop the tray and go berserk
^Bm Whi ^G le ^D your cleaning up the mess the teacher's looking up your skirt
^A Yo ^G u've been used,
^D Ar ^A e ^G you calm? Settle down
^D Wr ^A it ^G e 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.
