Belle and Sebastian - White Collar Boy

You're a white collar boy and you gave into the law
(Give in to the pressure, the cops gonna get you)
You were a thieving dog at work until they caught your little paw
(Your wage won't stretch, to picking up checks)
A custodial sentence you narrowly avoided
Community service you had to go along with
You're banging the rocks at the old city docks
(Poor boy, poor boy, poor boy, poor boy)
(Poor boy, poor boy, poor boy, poor boy)

You were chained to a girl that would kill you with a look
(It's a nice way to die she's so easy on the eye)
She said let's get away, but you played it by the book
(You're a warden's pet, she's a screaming suffragette)
We ain't in prison, we'll just finish up and go home
She said, 'Not for me, I've got plans for later on'
So she belted the sarge and she jumped on a barge
(You fell, you fell, you fell, you fell)
(You fell, you fell, you fell, you fell)

[Chorus:]
White collar, got dirt in your pants
You got egg in your hair
You got spit in your chin
You're a
White collar, scared to be bored
Blue collar, she's opening doors
White collar boy, on the run from the law

She said 'You ain't ugly, you can kiss me if you like'
(Go ahead and kiss her, you don't know what you're missing)
You said 'Baby, you're special
But there's something not quite right.'
(She's a Venus in flares and you wanna split hairs!)
I am innocent, you are a rocket
Things were ok till you took out the copper
Leave me alone and get used to the chains
(You're a pain, a pain, a pain, a pain)
(You're a pain, a pain, a pain, a pain)

[Chorus:]
White collar, got dirt in your pants
You got egg in your hair
You got spit in your chin
You're a
White collar, got dirt in your pants
You got egg in your hair
You got spit in your chin
You're a
White collar, scared to be bored
Blue Collar, she's opening doors
White collar boy, on the run from the law
The law, the law, the law
Get on your bike
Get on your horse
