You're a star and you'll go far
Your obsessions get you known throughout the school for being strange
Start in lingerie and Doris is your supervisor
While you're cleaning up the mess the teacher's looking up your skirt
Tell your Mum what to expect, she says "It's right out of the blue"
Why you can't settle down?
So they jab you with a fork, you drop the tray and go berserk
At the interval you lock yourself away inside a room
Soon you will know that you are sane
Tell Veronica the secrets of the boy you never kissed
You're on top of the world again
You're on top of the world again
She sticks up for you when you get aggravation from the snobs

Monday morning wake up knowing that you've gotta go to school
Do you think you're better then the other kids? Well get outside
Soon you will know that you are sane
"What the hell do you think you're doing?"
She's got everything to gain 'cause she's a fat girl with a lisp
Move to lingerie and take a feel off Joe the store man
Write a song, I'll sing along
Making life-size models of the velvet underground in clay
Monday morning wake up knowing that you've got to go to school
Head of English gets you asks you
For careers you say you wanna be remembered for your art
Hey you've been used
And the head said "That you always were a queer one from the start"
Why you can't settle down?
Are you true and you know
Tell your Mum what to expect, she says "It's right out of the blue"
You wanna work in C&A, 'cause that's what they expect
Write a song, I'll sing along
Do you went to work in Debenham's, because that's what they expect
Listen to me as a friend not just look okay guitar
'Cause you can't afford a blazer girl you're always wearing clogs
In the queue for lunch they take the piss, you've got no appetite
Hey you've been used
You've got permission, you've got to make the bastard think he's right

And the rumor is you never go with boys that you are tight
You're on top of the world again
