Thatcher was in were tight and sour The letter A was in a circle everywhere
And head was gettin' shaved or spiked My sister stitched her flares and made 'em into She was into Ant and Wuthering Heights I was into Madness and grifter bikes
Mom had to late, I had no complaints to get away with murder when Grandad babysat Used to play fox and 'til the sun came down, Lip Up Fatty, running wild through the ghost town
And all I wanted was Doc boots and My ear pierced, "So, mum, a racist?" She didn't explain that we quite Caucasian, As we could see black children on future occasion And she'd keep that All my friends are brainwashed NF and they're scratchin' on the desktops
and violence on the TV Broken down on Newsround while eatin' Toast Toppers, watchin' coppers get beat Church and trips with the play scheme Dancin' to ska, kissing the girl of my My tenth birthday and those stay pressed Money in my card I bought One Beyond, yes Lent it to a friend, got it back Jim could you fix it for me? Remember
a 70s baby, early 80s child Reminiscin' 'bout the days in the brick a 70s baby, early 80s child Reminscin' 'bout the and you think times are hard
Oh, let me tell you now, woo, oh, a witch was in power And oh, my god she did Cast a spell called made a living hell Turned man against man forgot the and girls We had no future, home Had to make do with we had Knock-a-door-run and the hand-me-down beat, upbeat, Cracker Jack of Underground, synthpop, Muppet Show, electro on the radio Mum, turn it up, a new thing, yeah
Now all I want is high tech's with fat He?s got the next best started scratchin' and breakin' Snatch your and battery by the stack to keep the boom box from going flat Didn't cope and in over the store with a performance kid this place has never been so packed Street light for a spot light, box for a stage And if you had a score to settle you resolved it your breakin' Not like now they're guns and bats Robbin' old folk, we don?t need no of that
a 70s baby, early 80s child Reminiscin' 'bout the days in the brick a 70s baby, early 80s child Reminscin' 'bout the days and you think are hard
Every brick and every stone Was for you and me They firm Truly Gave as good as what they go
