I’m Against The Eighties

Lawrence

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
