UNIFORMS
(Music and Lyrics by Nick Harthill/Steve McAndrew)
Verse 1
people try to state the obvious
though it makes little difference to us
we wear what we like to wear and that's all that matters
so quit your bitchin'
stop trying to make a fuss
Chorus 1
and then i thought about it and we're all wearing UNIFORMS
i thought about it some more
and then i thought about it and we're all wearing UNIFORMS
unifiorms won't open all doors
but they'll open the doors that they did before
yes
Verse 2
our appearance is tailored by what we see
you pays your money, nothing comes for free
you wear your tight blue jeans
and i'll wear my sneakers
Chorus 2
and then i thought about it and we're all wearing UNIFORMS
and then i thought about it some more
and then i thought about it and we're all wearing UNIFORMS
unifiorms won't open all doors
but they'll open the doors that they did before
yes
Verse 3
vivienne westwood dress, saville row suit
levis, wrangler strauss, doc martin boot
social status echoed by our dress and grooming
today's attitude just says who gives a hoot (wrong as that may be)
Chorus 3
and then i thought about it and we're all wearing UNIFORMS
i thought about it some more
and then i thought about it and we're all wearing UNIFORMS
unifiorms won't open all doors
but they'll open the doors that they did before
Comment:- This was born of a chorus idea that Nick Harthill had, that I worked into a completed song that subsequently appeared on both the Symi Wind album and also a chorus repeat reprise on the GMT About Time album
