And it's your only day, do you got all the truth?
oh you never feel the way you were...
I must have seen it, it's so familiar
oh she looks so familiar
must have seen it, oh you look so familiar
I must have seen her face before, I fell in love when I was born
now they hide her with a whisper, it's over
So it goes, never been a better time might as well make it now?
Oh it's your only day & you got all the truth
oh you'll never feel the way you were
now it's your only day is it all the truth?
Oh you never feel the way you were
The dead hand of the past only wishes to control your future
I must have seen it, it's so familiar
oh it looks so familiar

I grew up in the 1980's
In a 4-bedroom house
My family, my Grandma,
3 or 4 Aunties
Uncles and Brothers
In and out of prison daily
At certain times when there was no heat
We stay under covers
There was life like u never seen
Grandma taking extra people in
Come dinner time It was tippin' 18
Boil a big pot of water on the stove to take a bath
Rub my face with Olive Oil
All my mates used to laugh
All my Cousin's moved out
We all got divided
As i started to get older I seen God providing
I've seen £50 last 3 months solid
I got my first pair of nikes we were still eating porridge
Me and my cousin used to play Mel & Kim
Practising dancin'
Coming down the stairs and ting
I touched Africa and came back darker
Knowing myself
Feeling my roots a little bit harder
1980 year that God made me
89 i started to get by
99 i started to write rhymes
walk with me reminice my life
So then we moved up
I thought I was the Fresh Prince
Dynasty was re-runs and Dallas was faded
With 3 beds this time and 6 kids
we got a doggy that dog loved to shit
My brother got his first pair of LA Gears
He thought they were to take pictures of instead of wear
I started hanging out and my jeans got tighter
My weird neighbours set their own house on fire
Church was All day every day and every week
That's where i learned how to sing
Hearing that pastor Preach
Benediction was all we went for
So we could run home and play connect 4
Mum worked late and we learnt to cook
Rice peas chicken and stew pea soup
In the room watching Kung-Fu films
And Cleopatra joans
Wishing we were cosby kids and the match stick girls.
The man downstairs was dead for 3 weeks
His own cat started eating him
The house starts to wreak
That's when we moved out
And our house was bigger
We had a large garage and the attic was killer
We used to pray for 3 hours in the mornin'
Sitting on the school bus
Believe we was yawning
All our hair was stuck down to our foreheads
Jam curls, splits, dorags and pin curls yes
Sexy boys walking round showing interest
In what i don't know coz we all had flat chests
Don't think we never mastered the Kid n Play steps
Doowop for days in the bogle yep
But this is just the beginning of my life right,
9 kids a house and one life time
Yo, the beginning of my life right

Long drives
Over the veldt
Head full of songs
Boxcars
Old European
Occupied zones
Grey day
Welfare hotel
Lost in the stars
With her
All of my fears
Melt in the dawn
Milk tea
Under the midnight sun
Not sure
Why we were ever born
Storm clouds
In the afternoon
Lonely
In my hotel room
Late June
Lost latitudes
The transistor hums
Street cars
Indigo blue
Roll through the slums
Milk tea… etc.

Hey, there, pretty little girl (hey, man),
With your long brown sexy curls (uh, uh).
You're a hottie, body tight,
Good, god almighty.
Alright, son, hold up,
You need to slow your roll.
We've been talking for a while
Now she ain't no hoe.
She got class, style, pizzazz, and jazz,
Each smile as a matter of fact.
She has me twisted just like she did back then,
When the game of gab could be played among friends.
That's all it was about,
And now to represent.
We talked last night around 10.
And I told her.
Listen up, cause I love you, lady.
We go back, like, 1980.
Lord knows you're the one to change me,
You love me cause I'm so crazy.
You'll see, it'll be, you and me,
Always, always.
I told her look,
I know a lot of folks around town,
Probably been telling you that,
"Danny just a crook."
I definitely done some things that I shouldn't be proud of,
But we can do it by the book.
We've known each other for a long time,
I know you the strong kind of woman with the strong mind,
And that's what got me hooked.
I got some crazy homies,
Whatchu you talking about?
You got some crazy homies.
Yo, quit fronting and lolly gagging,
We can have a baby daughter,
Maybe call her Maggie.
We've known each other since the 9th grade,
We make each other laugh,
Best friends, let's do this the right way.
Listen up, cause I love you, lady.
We go back, like, 1980.
Lord knows you're the one to change me,
You love me cause I'm so crazy.
You'll see, it'll be, you and me,
Always, always.
Listen up, cause I love you, lady.
We go back, like, 1980.
Lord knows you're the one to change me,
You love me cause I'm so crazy.
You'll see, it'll be, you and me,
Always, always.
I know I'm still crazy,
But I've changed a lot.
and, I've cleaned up a little,
And you're still hot.
But if I ain't the one,
I hope you find true love.
And if not, I'm here when push comes to shove.
Just know if you walk down that aisle,
With another dude to take those vows,
How I'll react,
There ain't no telling.
I might bust in the back of the church and start yelling.
Listen up, cause I love you, lady.
We go back, like, 1980.
Lord knows you're the one to change me,
You love me cause I'm so crazy.
You'll see, it'll be, you and me,
Always, always.
Listen up, cause I love you, lady.
We go back, like, 1980.
Lord knows you're the one to change me,
You love me cause I'm so crazy.
You'll see, it'll be, you and me,
Always, always.
Always, always, always.

Premiers bruits
Des poubelles
Pour les villes
Au réveil ;
Tu sors de ta nuit !
Premiers mots
Au café
Au métro...
"Année 80"
T'as vraiment pas la gueule
Des imaginations
Des vieux livres science-fiction !
Tu n'as pas plein de spoutnick, d'androïdes
On fabrique pas des soucoupes chez Plymouth
On dîne pas aux pilules
On vit pas dans des bulles !
"1980"
Tu es cet écran
Où sont projetés
Nos espoirs-succès
Amours en question
Et nouvelles chansons !
Tous les plans d'une paix
Qui dorment empagés
Départs de folie
Pour Gallipolli !
De nouveaux romans
De nouveaux présidents
En flash-backs
Tu nous rassures
Pour le futur
Dans le lin
Le strass et Chopin !
Les journaux imprimeront
Nos jours sous ton nom !
Malgré les machines
Les enfants feront
Encore sur leurs doigts
Toutes leurs additions !
Les autruches ne gouvernent pas notre terre
On fait pas nos lunes de miel en stellaire !
Pas de Club sur Pluton
On n'est pas des mutants !
"1980"
Malgré l'synthétique
On rêvera encore
En films, en musiques
On fera l'amour
Mais non-télépathique !
Décomprime
Nos envies, nos déprimes
"1980"
T'es notre starting-block
Pour la course dans l'époque !
"1980"
T'as notre starting-block
Pour la course dans l'époque !

[Jack Nicholson:]
"What Happened to your queer party frends? "
[Dirt Nasty:]
I got a gold chain,
I'm on cocaine,
I'm like 'yo, man(e)',
What, what, what, what?
I rolled in, straight from Oakland,
Holdin' my dick like a U.S. Open
Trophy.
What up to *hyphy*,
Ya'll don't know me, Dirt Nasty.
Ass cheeks, spread wide,
G-String, to the side.
One drink, Courvoisier,
Two drink, vodka Straight,
Three drink, I'm in the sink,
Throwin' up on my brand new mink
Coat.
And I'm doin' coke,
Y'all can't hold my donkey rope. (nope)
Call the pope, pray for me,
Gold Rolls Royce for your lady. (ding!)
I lived through the 80's,
And shit was crazy.
Everybody wanna know my name,
Bring the pain and pop the champagne,
Every girl wanna hold my chain,
When I fuck their brains out on the Mustang.
I got a gold chain,
(Like it was 1980)
I'm on cocaine,
(Like it was 1980)
I'm like 'yo, man(e)',
(Like it was 1980)
It sure does seem that way to me,
And tell your girl to stop pagin' me,
(What, what, what, what?)
I rolled in, stoned as hell,
White lines, gold gazelles.
Hotel on sunset,
Young hoes get undressed, (you bet)
Done dick ain't done yet,
Insert the clip, and get the gun wet, (chick, chick)
Nuff' said, I'm radical,
T-shirt say party animal, (Rawr!)
I ain't no amateur,
This ain't no Hands Across America,
I shine like Morrissey on Hennessy on Christmas Eve (Nope)
Naw, more like Morris Day, on hella yay, dressin gay (Ding!)
I lived through the 80's,
