Lyrics
School Uniforms
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.
It all started on the school bus
You were nine and I was ten
Remember you had a walkman
All I had was a middle part and a pen
Oh sweet Louise!
Whatever happened to her?
Then it all went downhill
You grew tall, I stayed the same
I guess that that's just puberty
Making us boys always play a losing game
Oh sweet Louise!
I always found it hard to work things through
Those school uniforms made a joke,
A joke of me and you
I'm glad I'm not back in school
She got an older boyfriend (how could she?)
Had a beard, smoked Marlborough Red
How can I compete with that (how can he?)
When I don't even know the location of the bike shed
Oh sweet Louise!
I always found it hard to work things through
Those school uniforms made a joke,
A joke of me and you
I always found it hard to work things through
Those school uniforms made a joke,
A joke of me and you
I remember?
Short skirts, long hair, my hormones flying everywhere
Short skirts, long hair, my hormones flying everywhere
Short skirts, long hair, my hormones flying everywhere
Short skirts, long hair, my hormones flying everywhere
Short skirts, long hair, my hormones flying everywhere
Short skirts, long hair, my hormones flying everywhere
Short skirts, long hair, my hormones flying everywhere
Short skirts, long hair, my hormones flying everywhere
Short skirts, long hair, my hormones flying everywhere
Short skirts, long hair, my hormones flying everywhere
Short skirts, long hair, my hormones flying everywhere
I always found it hard to work things through
Those school uniforms made a joke,
Made a joke of me and you
I always found it hard to work things through
Those school uniforms made a joke,
Made a joke of me and you
I'm glad I'm not back in school
