Monday morning wake up knowing that you've gotta go to school
Tell your mum what to expect, she says it's right out of the blue
Do you want to work in Debenham's, 'cause 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 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 a 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
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 a-gain
Monday morning wake up knowing that you've 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 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 a--way 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 a-gain
And you're cool and you know
You're a star, you'll go far
Please think of me- as a friend
Not just the boy who played guitar
You're on top of the world a--gain.
