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
