The Wombats - School Uniforms Lyrics

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
