UNIFORMS
(McAndrew)
people try to state the obvious
though it makes little difference to us
we wear what we like to wear and that's, that's all that matters
so quit your bitchin' stop trying to make a fuss
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
UNIFORMS won't open all doors, but they'll open the doors that they did before
yes
our appearance is tailored by what we see
you pays your money, nothin' comes for free
you wear your tight blue jeans, and i'll wear my sneakers
what's the difference, it's all the same to me
and then i thought about it etc
Vivienne Westwood dress, Saville Row suit
Wrangler, Levi 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
and then i thought about it etc
Comment:- A fun throwaway little number, this one, as can be senses from the lyrics (of which, Nick came up with the chorus). It's in the style of Pete Townsend or Kenny Loggins. Put quite simply, people badge themselves in uniforms (Babygro, Nike, the local football team colours etc etc).
