Lord Anthony - Belle and Sebastian
Anthony bullied at school
Get your own back now you are cool
Or are you scared
Bunking off though you're a toff
It's all gone wrong again you've got double maths
And the teacher's got no control so
The boys will run riot you will stay quiet
Or you will die
Tony at the back of the gym
Smoke another one your chances are slim
Cos here they come again
And they got you on the ground
Tasting blood again at least it's your own
When will you realise that it never pays
To be smarter than teachers
Smarter than most boys
Shut your mouth start kicking the football
Bang on the teeth you're off for a week boy
You may as well take it in the guts it can't get worse
Take it in the guts it can't get worse that this
You'll soon be old enough to leave them
And without a notion of a care
You'll lift two fingers in the air to linger there
Tony you're a bit of a mess
Melted toblerone under your dress
And if the boys could see you they would pass you right by
Blue mascara running over your eye
When will you realize that it never pays
To be smarter than teachers
Smarter than most boys
Shut your mouth start kicking the football
Bang on the teeth you're off for a week boy
Anthony it could be worse than
Anthony it could be worse than
They call you lord anthony
But hey -anthony it could be worse
Lord anthony but hey -anthony it could be worse than
Lord anthony but hey -anthony it kind of suits you anyway
You'll soon be old enough to leave them
And without a notion of a care
You'll lift two fingers in the air to linger there
