Hey, the first time that |
|
I met my mate |
|
Was in the roller rink where |
|
I went to skate |
|
It was early in the decade around '83 |
|
Back then |
|
Maskell's was the place to be |
|
Pay two quid for your entry fee |
|
I glide into the arena, ecstasy |
|
When you were seven you didn't realize |
|
Most of the adults were stoned out of their eyes |
|
Some jacked up on the seats around the edge |
|
Others were so ****ed that they turned into veg |
|
I didn't care 'cos |
|
I made my pledge |
|
Rollskating at |
|
Maskell's got respect |
|
I used to listen to |
|
Public Enemy |
|
Erik B and |
|
Rakim and |
|
BVSMPBut before that in 1983 |
|
I'd go break dancing after my tea |
|
Down the Youth |
|
Club, eating the fruit pastels |
|
Saturday morning |
|
I'd go down to |
|
Maskell'sIt was my favorite place to go |
|
Dancing all day at the |
|
Roller Disco |
|
N-n-nineteen eighty three |
|
When Maskells is over it's out on your bike |
|
Doing bunny hops and wheelies if you like |
|
Nicking from the shop and comparing your |
|
NikeDropping bricks onto trains was a delight |
|
Then I'd find a weak kid and have a fight |
|
Use your pocket money to buy a head band for the night |
|
From Fussels, |
|
Newport's health-sports store |
|
This is the stuff |
|
I used to do before |
|
Draw Paul |
|
Hardcastle, n-n-nineteen |
|
Was always played on the roller disco scene |
|
I would listen to the music 'til |
|
I went deaf |
|
Skating around backwards to |
|
Axel FEven back then |
|
I was still wearing gold |
|
They had an ice rink upstairs so |
|
I was told |
|
It was ecstasy going round a pillar |
|
Doing a special dance to |
|
Michael Jackson's ' |
|
Thriller'Y-y-you fukin' knows it |
|
N-n-nineteen eighty three |
|
How was the year son? |
|
N-n-nineteen eighty three |
|
Oh, eating cola cubes and watching |
|
Grange Hill |
|
Riding my chopper to the |
|
Chip shop in |
|
PillI didn't know words like |
|
Cunny or Vag |
|
Getting my two hundred meters swimming badge |
|
Back then you were seven, |
|
I was eight |
|
I only just started to masturbate |
|
When I was in school the days went slow' |
|
Cos I was dreaming of a ****in' roller disco |
|
F-f-****ing alright |
|
S-s-say first **** |
|
I didn't smoke, |
|
I didn't drink booze |
|
I collected ' |
|
Star Wars' stickers and bubble gum tattoos |
|
Stuck 'em on my face 'cos it made me feel hard |
|
Then popped into the shop to buy some football cards |
|
Finished the album, |
|
Panini '83 |
|
Get back home in time for the |
|
A-Team and tea |
|
Then watch |
|
Bullseye and |
|
Saint and |
|
GreavsieGo to bed, 'til tomorrow, see? |
|
I watch the |
|
A-Team and |
|
Airwolf too |
|
Before I found drugs and started sniffing glue |
|
Riding round the lane on my |
|
Grifter or my |
|
ChopperEven back then |
|
I was a hip hopper |
|
