Toy Dolls - Back In '79 lyrics

rate me

Just like we had ffffeared, the mates we had have all dissapeared

Nicky, Flip, Paul, Fat Bob and Ted, they all done a bunk & all got wed

OUT WITH THE LADS FOR A LAUGH AND A BEER, THOSE DAYS ARE NO LONGER 'ERE

WITH A LUMP IN YER THROAT & A SHIVER DOWN YER SPINE

THEY'RE THE MEMORIES OF 1979

[Chorus:]

WOOOOOOOOOOO THAT'S WHERE WE WANNA BE

1979

WOOOOOOOOOOO THAT'S WHERE WE WANNA BE

BACK IN '79

Flip a punk sssuddenly aged, he sold his leather jacket just to get engaged

Bobby was a skinhead, but Bobby's hair grew, all for a bird who made him bbblue

WE NEVER THOUGHT WE'DE SEE THE DAY, TEDDY WITH A MRS IN THE FAMILY WAY

OH WHAT WENT WRONG? THINGS WERE JUST FINE,

SO TAKE ME BACK TO 1979

[Chorus]</i>...

[Guitar Bit]

Freddie was a free bloke fffull o' life, now Freddie is a bag o' misery with a wife

Everynight George hit the town, by 8'o clock now he's in his dressing gown

THEY AIN'T THE LADS WE KNEW BEFORE, YOU DON'T SEE THEM DOWN THE PUB NO MORE

THEY'RE DISCONTENTED MATES O' MINE WHO WANNA BE BACK IN 1979.
