I'm against the 80's
I don't care what you say
I'm against the 80's
You don't listen to me anyway
Well I'm for the 70's
Oh and for the '90s too
Yeah I'm against the 80's
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 80's
Oh year 80's
We're victims of the 80's
Yeah you and me girl
Deflated by the 80's
Getting caught up in its social whirl
You should have seen me in the 70's
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 80's
Oh year 80's
Remember in the 70's
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 70's
Yeah yeah yeah
I'm against the 80's
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 80's
Oh year 80's
That's the 80's boy
Yeah yeah yeah
Well I'm against the 80's
Bands that couldn't play
I'm against the 80's
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 80's
Oh year 80's
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 80's
No not the 80's
We're talkin' 'bout the 80's
Oh that's the 80's
That's the 80's boy
Oh that's the 80's
That's the 80's boy
That's the 80's boy
Oh that's the 80's
That's the 80's boy
Oh that's the 80's
That's the 80's boy
Yeah yeah yeah
Yeah yeah yeah
