I'm Against The Eighties |
I’m against the '80s |
I don’t care what you say |
I’m against the '80s |
You don’t listen to me anyway |
Well I’m for the '70s |
Oh and for the '90s too |
Yeah I’m against the '80s |
Cos girl look what they’ve done to you |
I made a new sound and they put it underground |
It was a thunderbolt crash they said it’s never going to last |
In the '80s |
Oh yeah '80s |
We’re victims of the '80s |
Yeah you and me girl |
Deflated by the '80s |
Getting caught up in its social whirl |
You should have seen me in the '70s |
I was different then |
Oh but those times have gone |
And they ain’t never coming back again |
So I formed myself a band and I toured it 'round the land |
I took a look around, there was nothing going down |
In the '80s |
Oh yeah '80s |
Remember in the '70s |
When we were at school |
Hangin' out with the older boys |
Bending all the little rules |
Remember in '73 |
Yeah you and me |
In the little wood |
Leaning up against the tree |
If the truth’s to be told then we were 12 years old |
They say crime doesn’t pay but it surely did that day |
In the '70s |
Yeah yeah yeah |
I’m against the '80s |
Duran Duran |
Fake make-up boys |
The rum-runner clan |
I knew you when you were at school |
You were nothing then |
And when you left the band |
You were nothing again |
You bought yourself a farm and you looked about as calm |
As a man who’s going to freak 'cause an earthquake’s hit his street |
In the '80s |
Oh year '80s |
That’s the '80s boy |
Yeah yeah yeah |
Well I’m against the '80s |
Bands that couldn’t play |
I’m against the '80s |
Singers with nothing to say |
You heard it on the radio |
You saw it on the TV |
You still went and bought it though |
Ah it amazes me |
You wouldn’t know style if it ran you up the aisle |
You couldn’t spot a star if he come within a mile of the '80s |
Oh yeah '80s |
I’m looking forward to the '90s |
Yeah I’ve got a new girl |
We’re into Rave Signal III |
'Cos we’re in love with the modern world |
I’m sick of winkle picker kids |
Mary Chain debris |
I’ve just had enough of that |
Nah it doesn’t interest me |
I’ve made a new sound, this ain’t going underground |
It’s a thunderbolt crash, concerns the future and the past |
But not the '80s |
No not the '80s |
We’re talkin' 'bout the '80s |
Oh that’s the '80s |
That’s the '80s boy |
Yeah yeah yeah |
