white collar boy

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
