Lyrics
Finishing School
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
Oh all right dear
Have a nice year
Teach the mean girls
How to be feared
And turn the weak ones
Into servants
You can't be satisfied
You just want what you can't have
Oh no, not again
The shudders, the shaking
Oh no, not again
The faint and the faking
Oh no, oh no, love
It's not what you're thinking
I've just had enough at finishing school
Oh all right love
Here's the good stuff
You can have it if you want it
But you want what you can't have
Oh no, not again
The shudders, the shaking
Oh no, not again
The faint and the faking
Oh no, oh no, love
It's not what you're thinking
I've just had enough of your finishing school
