lirik lagu the 1980s how it was – m.j. hibbett & the validators
everything is dirty
smoke and litter everywhere
everything is broken
and no-one has washed their hair
everybody’s either very young
or really old
everyone looks poorly
and is wrapped up for the cold
this is the 1980s how it was
but it’s not the version we are shown because
history’s re-written by the people who did best from it
they reinforce the bits they liked and then erase the rest of it
the clips on my tv
are not the real 80s
where are all the sports cars
all the shoulder pads and cash?
where are royal weddings
and the children waving flags?
where is all the glamour?
where’s duran duran?
where’s champagne and leg-warmers
the a-team, alf and wham?
all the decadence and wealth
must be somewhere else
’cause history’s re-written by the people who did best from it
they reinforce the bits they liked and then erase the rest of it
the features on buzzfeed
are not the real 80s
i could not pick up mtv
or solve the rubik’s cube
i spent my life revising
for exams i’d never use
but the main things i remember
were being really bored
and knowing i was bound to die
in a nuclear war
that was the 1980s how it was
but it’s not the story tories tell because
history’s re-written by the people who did best from it
they reinforce the bits they liked and then erase the rest of it
the pictures that you tweet
are not the real 80s
club tropicana’s closed
the blitz club’s boarded up
they’ve all gone to the falklands
with the money and the drugs
and i am left to wonder
as the smell of hair spray fades
what story will the future
one day say about today?
