 F# 
 Bm 
 F#
Monday morning wake up knowing that you've got to go to school


 Bm 
 F#
Tell your mum what to expect, she says it's right out of the blue


 Bm 
 F#
Do you went to work in Debenham's, because that's what they expect


 Bm 
 G 
 D 
 A 
 G
Start in Lingerie, and Doris is your supervisor


 F# 
 Bm 
 F#
And the head said that you always were a queer one from the start


 Bm 
 F#
For careers you say you went to be remembered for your art


 Bm 
 F#
Your obsessions get you known throughout the school for being strange


 Bm 
 G 
 D
Making life-size models of the Velvet Underground in clay


 F# 
 Bm 
 F#
In the queue for lunch they take the piss, you've got no appetite


 Bm 
 F#
And the rumour is you never go with boys and you are tight


 Bm 
 F#
So they jab you with a fork, you drop the tray and go berserk


 Bm 
 G 
 D
While your cleaning up the mess the teacher's looking up your skirt


 A 
 G
You've been used,


 D 
 A 
 G
Are you calm? Settle down


 D 
 A 
 G
Write 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.
