i read that Thom wasnt the happiest kid at abingdon and was often bullied (his lazy eye probably didnt help). i would have been surprised if he hadnt written a song about his dislike for the traditional boarding school. perhapse bishop's robes was made a b-side because the song doesnt have any profound ideas and it is simply about his bad experiences at abingdon.
i spent a year at st. edwards school which is another boarding school right down the road from abingdon in oxford. i can completely relate to thom
