The 80's

\rI Smoked Consulates And Park Drive, Drank Nookie Brown
\rLearned How To Skive
\rPolo Mints To Hide My Breath From My Mum
\rDid A Little Weed Cuz It Felt Like Fun
\rDid A Little Bit Of Speed If My Friend Had Some
\rNicked Volkswagen Badges I'm A Beastie Boys Son
\rMe So Horny, Me So Young And I Still Get My Washing Done
\rAuntie Joan Died Of Cancer God Didn't Have An Answer
\rRhythm Was A Dancer
\rAny Room For A Chancer? That's Me In The Corner, Thanks Sir!
\rI Wore Astute Track Suits, British Nike Shoes, Kangol Hat Like Ll Cool's
\rBefore I Was 'avin It, 'avin It Large
\rThey Nicked The Bmx From Out My Garage
\rKnew It Was Theo From Off The Estate Cuz Every Time He'd See Me, He'd Smile Like We Were Mates
\rFrom Then On In I'd Have To Walk To Me Nan's
\rAnd I'd Dream My Dreams Through A Sea Of Prams
\rLike A Hooligan On The Football Stands
\rAnd I'd Throw The V's To Leeds And West Ham
\rThen I Ran, I Ran So Far Away Down Scotia Road To A Taxi Bay
\rThen I Ran Again Cuz I Couldn't Pay, A Muslim Didn't Get His Fare That Day
\rI Apologise Today

\rThings Are Better When They Start
\rThat's How The 80s Broke My Heart

\rAnd Who Are You Calling Poof? You Like Wham, Man, I Hate That Stuff
\rAnd Then My Grandad Died And Left A Hole In The Family And Lots Of Women Had To Nanny Me
\rSchool Was A Laugh, They Didn't Have Add, Thick Was The Term They Used For Me
\r(over And Over)
\rRepeatedly
\r(over And Over)

\rTake My Breath Away Take My Breath Away
\rBidly Bidly Bidly Bom
\rPass It On The Left Hand Side, Right Turn, Clive

\rThat Girl In The Fourth Year, Got Pregnant And She Was Raised Catholic, Brilliant!
\rI Cried, She Cried, We Cried, Our Youth Died
\rDrank Cider In The Cemetery
\rThe Year Above Us Had Discovered E And I Said It Weren't For Me
\r?12.50? I Could Rob Me Mum's Purse And Buy One Up Torquay
\rMet A Girl On Monday, Drank Fizzy Pop On Tuesday
\rFingered Her On Wednesday And On Thursday And Friday And On Saturday
\rDumped By Sunday

\rThings Are Better When They Start
\rThat's How The 80s Broke My Heart
\rThe Wonder Years, I've Played My Part
\rThat's How The 80s Broke My Heart

\rLike I Said, I Lost My Virginity To A Girl Called Anne-marie, Well She Said She Fancied Me
\rAnd Then She Said "fuck Me" And I Thought 'fuck Me, I'm All Talk And It'll Be Over Too Quickly'
\rAnd It Was But I Couldn't Care Less, I'd Seen A Girl's Bra And Made A Mess On Her Dress, Oh Yes!
\rYou're Now Rocking With The Best, Second Person In My Year That Had Seen A Breast
\rI'm In My 30s Now And I'm Still Impressed
\rWhere Are The Falklands Mum? And What Have They Done?
\rWhere Do Girls Come From? Where Do Girls Come From? Where Do Girls Come From?

\rIt's The 80s, What You Looking At, Ya Mong?
\rSo Young, So Long, So Young, So Long
\rToo Short, So Long
\rWhat You Looking At Ya Mong?
\rToo Short, So Long, Too Short, So Long
\rSo Long.
