Back In '79

(专辑： Fat Bob's Feet - 1991)

Just like we had f-f-f-feared
The mates we had have all disappeared
Nicky, Flip, Paul, Fat Bob and Ted
They all done a bunk and 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 and a shiver down yer spine
They're the memories of 1979

[Chorus:]
Oh that's where we wanna be
1979
Oh that's where we wanna be
Back in '79

Flip a punk s-s-suddenly 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 b-b-blue

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]

Freddie was a free bloke f-f-full 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

[Chorus]
