School Uniforms - The Wombats

It all started on the school bus,

You were 9 and I was 10,

Remember you had a Walkman,

All I had was a middle part and a pen

Oh sweet Louise,

Whatever happened to her?

Then is all went downhill,

You grew tall I stayed the same,

I guess that’s just puberty,

Making us boys all 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 Marlboro red,

How can I compete with that?

(how can he?)

I don’t even know the location of the bike sheds

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

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
