"Women in Uniform" (NOT the Iron Maiden version)

Any idea of the English male pop group who sang this 70s/80s song (it's not Iron Maiden):

"I was lying in a hospital bed
a pretty nurse came and put a pillow under my head
...my clinical prognosis little lolly is to take you off the critical list
but now I'm out of danger but she still comes by every once in awhile
women in uniform, I don't quite know just what it is they got
is it because they look so so cool and sometimes turn out surprisingly hot
women in uniform WFRNs, waitresses, SRNs
I must have take a little bit more than I should I must admit that I could hardly stand
but a neat little chick I'd never seen before strode up and took a hold of my hand
that woman had a grip like a vice she pick me up off the floor I had to look at her twice
...I arrest you in the name of the law, and that is how I came to spend the night in the cell,
but it was really quite alright, WPC 69 was in there...she decided to conduct a whole investigation, she was & prosecuting council, oh my God the 3rd degree, the cross examination she put me through
women in uniform......is it because they can be so so cruel, and sometimes turn out to be surprisingly kind...women in uniform..."

The band you are asking about aren't actually English they're Australian and were called 'Skyhooks'. They had a few hits here in Australia, though I'm not sure how successful they were overseas. The lead singer Graeme 'Shirley' Strachan died in a helicopter crash in 2001. Hope this helps you. :-)

PS: If you're interested, some of their other songs were 'Ego Is Not A Dirty Word; Horror Movie; Living In The 70's; You Only Like Me Cos I'm Good In Bed; All My Friends Are Getting Married and Million Dollar Riff. Their official website address is www.skyhooks-music.com

Take it easy and again I hope this helps, probably way more info than you wanted or needed, if it is then my apologies!! LOL

I don't think so. I checked Skyhooks out but the lyrics do not match the ones posted by mifletz



"Hello there sailor
Hi there Lili Marlene
Good morning school girls
Welcome to the team

Beehive hairdo forty-five on the hip
Patrolwoman Saunders don't you give her no lip
Took me to the station for a breath test
Then back to her bedroom for some house arrest

Women in uniform sometimes they look so cold
Women in uniform but oooh they feel so warm

Flying to my hometown on a 747
Stewardess made me feel like I'm in heaven
Looking up the aisle trying to see what I could see
She leaned over and said coffee tea or me
White apron and brown leather shoes
The nurse at the clinic left my heart all bruised
Broke my left leg and sprained my right
Now she takes my temperature every night

Women in uniform sometimes they look so cold
Women in uniform but ooh they feel so warm
Women in uniform Women in uniform
Women in uniform Women in uniform

Commando raid on the Lebanese border
Sergeant Anita she gives the order
Khaki jacket and a sten gun
Baby I surrender let's have some fun

Khaki navy blue and brass buttons bring me to my knees
A peaked cap and a badge or two oooh they're such a tease
So girls if the man you need just won't come across
Put on a uniform show him who's the boss

Women in uniform sometimes they look so cold
Women in uniform but ooh they feel so warm
Women in uniform khaki white and blue
Women in uniform coming after you"
