School Uniform 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,
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,
A joke of me and you
I always found it hard to work things through
Those school uniforms made a joke,
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
You were nine and I was ten
Remember you had a walkman
All I had was a middle part and a pen
Whatever happened to her?
You grew tall, I stayed the same
I guess that that’s just puberty
Making us boys always play a losing game
Those school uniforms made a joke,
A joke of me and you
I’m glad I’m not back in school
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
Those school uniforms made a joke,
A joke of me and you
I always found it hard to work things through
Those school uniforms made a joke,
A joke of me and you
Short skirts, long hair, my hormones flying everywhere
Short skirts, long hair, my hormones flying everywhere
Short skirts, long hair, my hormones flying everywhere
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

Just found this site and think its mint, wombats are gona be BIG known them for about 6 months now, wierd seeing em on THE BOX and stuff now.
:D:D love it!
i think in thie first two verses of the song he is saying that he likes her but she doesnt lke him cause shes always going to have everything better then him. "Remember you had a walkman All I had was a middle part and a pen"
Go to Australia - they're big out there!!
I reckon it's just about Murph at school, looking back and stuff - But the thing about "you had a walkman, All I had was a middle-part and pen" about her always being better than him.
Btw, come to Australia again.. this time come to Perth also!!
I agree with above comments.
It's about a girl in school. And How he never felt good enough..
Is it just me or does anyone think that maybe this could also be about the girl going through puberty and 'rebelling' and 'changing.' With the older bf, bike shed reference and the school uniform being a joke as it displays people as so 'innocent.'
Probably wrong. But it our own meaning. And just what I thought..

It's about a guy and girl who are friends as kids (they met on the school bus) and the guy had a crush on the girl but then they grow up and the girl becomes cool and the guy is still a loser. She becomes really popular and starts dating an older cool guy. The guy is pining for the girl and wishing that he could have her and that he was good enough for her. Basically, the singer's reflecting on his high school days with a mixture of relief that they're done and wistfulness.
yea lukeshep, i'm from australia and they definitely are big here :) the 'i remember... hormones flying everywhere' part is really fun and happy :D
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
I like this part, i can really relate to it.It's annoying because girls go through puberty first. I personally think it should be the other way around!
Anyway,good song.
