The only song of these recordings that wasn't written as a Milk 'n" Cookies song - written in London in response to seeing Kings Road "punks" in their boutique finery.
lyrics
i dress up just to feel good some people view me with scorn..is it me that they hate..or the uniform..i wear the best clothes I can think of something to get the girls on..so is it me that they love..or the uniform..clothes make the man..i am what i am..some of the guys got a group..and everyone's t-shirt is torn..everyone's so amazed.. by the uniform..i saw a thousand kids at the gigs..looking weird was the norm..nobody understands..it's a uniform
