So you've set out on your own
You've shut up shop
Your leaving home

You feel no need to settle down
In the crippled crook
Of your earth bound town

And you've been down this road before
Which is not to say your bored
Or that you shoudn't want for more
It's just your expectations
Should be lower
[ Lyrics from: http://www.lyricsfreak.com/e/edwyn+collins/low+expectations_20635682.html ]
There must be something more than this
More than ideal homes or domestic bliss
What is there left for you to do
'Cos you've seen the future
And it's nothing new

And you've been down this road before
Which is not to say your bored
Or that you shoudn't want for more
It's just your expectations
Should be lower
Should be lower

(Break)

And you've been down this road before
Which is not to say your bored
Or that you shoudn't want for more
It's just your expectations
Should be lower
Should be lower
