white collar boy
Singer: belle & sebastian
you'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 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
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
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
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
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
she's opening doors
white collar boy
on the run from the law
