Cover art for Expectations lyrics by Belle & Sebastian

this is possibly my favorite song every by Belle and Sebastian, and it is definitely my favorite off of Tigermilk.

I think it portrays high school very well, and as an artist I recieve(d) a lot of flak for it in high school (and still do in college). I was always ostracized and often even the most popular kids feel alone in school.
