School Uniforms Lyrics

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,
Made 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,
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 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

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
