Song | The 80's |
Artist | Robbie Williams |
Album | Rudebox |
[00:22.630] | I smoked Consulates and Park Drive' drank Nookie Brown |
[00:26.400] | Learned how to skive |
[00:27.200] | Polo mints to hide my breath from my mum |
[00:29.260] | Did a little weed cuz it felt like fun |
[00:31.270] | Did a little bit of speed if my friend had some |
[00:33.378] | Nicked Volkswagen badges I'm a Beastie Boys son |
[00:35.567] | Me so horny' me so young and I still get my washing done |
[00:40.879] | Auntie Joe died of cancer God didn't have an answer |
[00:43.970] | Rhythm was a dancer |
[00:44.757] | Any room for a chancer? That's me in the corner' thanks sir! |
[00:48.700] | I wore a troop track suit' British Nike shoes' Kangol hat like LL Cool's |
[00:53.670] | Before I was 'avin it' 'avin it large |
[00:55.207] | They nicked the BMX from out my garage |
[00:57.517] | Knew it was Tier from off the estate cuz every time he'd see me' he'd smile like we were mates |
[01:03.388] | From then on in I'd have to walk to me Nan's |
[01:06.380] | And I'd dream my dreams through a sea of prams |
[01:10.880] | |
[01:11.699] | Like a hooligan on the football stands |
[01:13.860] | And I'd throw the v's to Leeds and West Ham |
[01:15.717] | Then I ran' I ran so far away down Scotia Road to a taxi bay |
[01:18.637] | Then I ran again cuz I couldn't pay' a Muslim didn't get his fare that day |
[01:25.800] | I apologise today |
[01:28.789] | Things are better when they start |
[01:33.378] | That's how the 80s broke my heart |
[01:36.687] | |
[01:41.680] | And who are you calling poof? You like Wham' man' I hate that stuff |
[01:45.878] | And then my grandad died and left a hole in the family and lots of women had to nanny me |
[01:50.577] | School was a laugh' they didn't have ADD' thick was the term they used for me |
[01:53.887] | (over and over) |
[01:57.577] | (over and over) |
[01:57.797] | Repeatedly |
[02:00.786] | Take my breath away take my breath away |
[02:02.476] | Bidly bidly bidly bong |
[02:03.297] | Pass it on the left hand side' right turn' Clyde |
[02:06.417] | That girl in the fourth year' got pregnant and she was raised Catholic' brilliant! |
[02:10.690] | I cried' she cried' we cried' her youth died |
[02:12.799] | Drank cider in the cemetery |
[02:14.289] | The year above us had discovered E and I said it weren't for me |
[02:18.549] | ?12.50? I could rob me mum's purse and buy one off chalcky |
[02:23.900] | Met a girl on Monday' drank fizzy pop on Tuesday |
[02:26.690] | Fingered her on Wednesday and on Thursday and Friday and on Saturday |
[02:30.890] | Dumped by Sunday |
[02:32.619] | Things are better when they start |
[02:41.399] | That's how the 80s broke my heart |
[02:44.559] | |
[02:49.679] | The wonder years' I've played my part |
[02:53.619] | |

[03:10.629] | And then she said "fuck me" and I thought 'fuck me' I'm all talk and it'll be over too quickly' |
[03:15.249] | And it was but I couldn't care less' I'd seen a girl's part'made a mess on her dress' oh yes! |
