white collar boy

Belle & Sebastian

Youââ?¬â?¢re a white collar boy and you gave into the law
Give in to the pressure the cops gonna getcha
You were a thieving dog at work until they caught your little paw
Your wage wonââ?¬â?¢t stretch, to picking up checks
A custodial sentence you narrowly avoided
Community service you had to go along with
Youââ?¬â?¢re banging the rocks at the old city docks
Poor boy poor boy poor boy poor boy

You were chained to a girl that would kill you with a look
Itââ?¬â?¢s a nice way to die sheââ?¬â?¢s so easy on the eye
She said letââ?¬â?¢s get away, but you played it by the book
Youââ?¬â?¢re a wardenââ?¬â?¢s pet, sheââ?¬â?¢s a screaming suffragette
ââ?¬Å?We ainââ?¬â?¢t in prison, weââ?¬â?¢ll just finish up and go homeââ?¬
She said, ââ?¬Å?Not for me, Iââ?¬â?¢ve got plans for later onââ?¬
So she belted the sarge and she jumped on a barge
You fell, you fell you fell you fell

White collar, got dirt in your pants
You got egg in your hair
You got spit in your chin
White collar, scared to be bored
Blue Collar, sheââ?¬â?¢s opening doors
White collar boy, on the run from the law

She said ââ?¬Å?You ainââ?¬â?¢t ugly, you can kiss me if you likeââ?¬
Go ahead and kiss her, you donââ?¬â?¢t know what youââ?¬â?¢re missing
You said ââ?¬Å?Baby, youââ?¬â?¢re special,
But thereââ?¬â?¢s something not quite right.ââ?¬
Sheââ?¬â?¢s a Venus in flares and you wanna split hairs!
ââ?¬Å?I am innocent, you are a rocket.
Things were ok till you took out the copperââ?¬
Leave me alone, and get used to the chains
Youââ?¬â?¢re a pain, a pain, a pain, a pain

White collar, got dirt in your pants
You got egg in your hair
You got spit in your chin
White collar, scared to be bored
Blue Collar, sheââ?¬â?¢s opening doors
White collar boy, on the run from the law
