In The Eighties
In The Eighties
Back in the Eighties
The trouble people took
To go ready to go out
Get that special look.
Looking at old photos now
It's easy to confess
The fashion sense and mullet hair
People were a bit of a mess.
In Britain in the Eighties
There were only 4 channels on TV
It's amazing thinking about it now
That there was enough for us to see.
Pop bands in the Eighties
Had names like Wet Wet Wet and Duran Duran
At first we thought these names had been typo's
But it was all their big masterplan.
The music just like the fashion
probably wasn't great
As the decade wore on
It became a bit second rate.
Entertainment was very good
Although lacking games or Youtube
You could always spend plenty of time
Playing with your Rubik's cube.
These days there is 24 Hour shopping
Back then you'd be in for a shock
You had to hurry to buy what you needed
Most were shut by about 6 o'clock.
Also if you wanted to watch some late TV
Do some night time viewing
You'd have to make do with a video
With the TV there's nothing doing.
Yes the channels went off around midnight
That was just the fact
So if you really wanted to watch anything
You'd rather have VHS than Betamax.
