School Uniforms

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 it, 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?)
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

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
