"Lord Anthony" – Belle & Sebastian

Anthony, bullied at school
Get your own back now you are ______COOL (FICO)
Or are you scared bunking off though you're a toff?
It's all gone WRONG_____________ again, you've got Double Maths.

But the teacher's got no CONTROL_____________
The boys all run riot
"You will stay quiet or you will die."

Tony, at the back of the gym
Smoke ANOTHER ONE______________, your chances are slim,
'Cause here they COME_________ again
And they got you on the GROUND_____________.
Tasting blood again;
At least it's your own.

When will you realize it doesn't PAY___________
To be smarter than teachers, smarter than most boys?
"So SHUT____________ your mouth, start kicking the football."
Bang on the teeth. You are off for a week, boy.

You may as well take it in the guts, it can't get _________________ WORSE.
Just take it in the guts, it can't get worse than this.

'Cause you'll soon be old enough LEAV’EM
Without a notion of a care
You'll leave two fingers in the AIR_________.
To linger there.

Tony, you're a bit of a MESS___________;
Melted Toblerone under your DRESS
If the kids could see you they would pass you right by.
Blue mascara running over your EYES.

When will you realize it doesn't pay
To be smarter than teachers, smarter than most boys?
"Shut your mouth, start kicking the football"
Bang on the teeth. You were off for a week, boy.

(Anthony. it could be worse)
(Anthony, it could be worse)

They call you Lord Anthony but hey, it could be worse.
Lord Anthony but hey, it could be worse.
Lord Anthony but hey, it kind of suits you anyway...

You'll soon be old enough to leave them
Without a notion of a care
You'll leave two fingers in the air
To linger there.
