Thatcher was in Times were tight and The letter A was sprayed in a everywhere
And head was gettin' shaved or spiked My stitched her flares and made 'em into drainpipes She was Adam Ant and Wuthering Heights I was getting into Madness and bikes
Mom had to late, I had no complaints Used to get away murder when Grandad babysat Used to play fox and hound the sun came down, Singin' Lip Up Fatty, running wild through the ghost
And all I wanted was Doc and braces My ear pierced, "So, mum, a racist?" She didn't explain that we quite Caucasian, As we could see black on some future occasion And she'd that shtum All my friends are brainwashed NF and swastikas they're on the desktops
and violence on the TV Broken down on Newsround while eatin' Toast Toppers, coppers get beat down Church discos and with the play scheme Dancin' to ska, kissing the of my dreams My tenth and those two-tones stay pressed in my card I bought One Step 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 backyard a 70s baby, early 80s child Reminscin' 'bout the days and you think are hard
Oh, let me you now, woo, oh, a wicked witch was in power And oh, my god she did Cast a called depression made a living hell Turned man against man forgot the and girls We had no future, home Had to do with what we had Knock-a-door-run and the gowns Current beat, upbeat, Cracker Jack of Underground, synthpop, Muppet Show, electro on the Mum, turn it up, a new thing, yeah
Now all I want is high tech's fat bass He?s got the next best friend scratchin' and breakin' Snatch racks and battery by the stack to keep the boom box from going flat Didn't cope and went in over the store with a performance kid place has never been so packed light for a spot light, cardboard box for a stage And if you had a score to you resolved it with your breakin' Not like now they're using and bats Robbin' old folk, we don?t need no of that
Just a 70s baby, 80s child 'bout the days in the brick backyard Just a 70s baby, 80s child Reminscin' 'bout the days and you think are hard
brick and every stone thrown Was for you and me They stood revolutionary Gave back as as what they go
