I used to live in the eighties,
I remember it all too well
Suffered from all the the bad things
that surrounded me in those days
I first turned goth and dressed in black,
went to hell and barely came back
But then suddenly I saw the light, the guitars weren't loud but bright
Had to make a statement
Music was so bad I had to form a band, keep away from mullets hide
my head in the sand
And become a popstar by being lazy and shy, didn't know why, just
didn't know just why
Somehow I miss those times
When youth was still ahead
Used to wake up in the eighties.
Didn't like it but what could you do
Sit down and wait for the nineties?
I guess time must have been moving too slow
Have to blame myself for the outcome, there were reasons why it
almost went wrong
The story could have been so great,
but it all came out in just one song
That's all that matters
The reason why I cared to even let things
happen, the same old story told in various versions
A decade that made me wonder what I did on this planet, made me
almost cry almost cry
Music was so bad ...
I remember my future. And now it's all behind
I remember it all too well
Suffered from all the the bad things
that surrounded me in those days
I first turned goth and dressed in black,
went to hell and barely came back
But then suddenly I saw the light, the guitars weren't loud but bright
Had to make a statement
Music was so bad I had to form a band, keep away from mullets hide
my head in the sand
And become a popstar by being lazy and shy, didn't know why, just
didn't know just why
Somehow I miss those times
When youth was still ahead
Used to wake up in the eighties.
Didn't like it but what could you do
Sit down and wait for the nineties?
I guess time must have been moving too slow
Have to blame myself for the outcome, there were reasons why it
