>>By Paddy (Tuesday, 17 Jun 2003 03:16)

Its a tune - and i got some of the lyrics but i cant make out the whole thing...

Thatcher was in power
Times were tight and sour
The letter A was framed in a circle everywhere

Everybody's head was gettin shaved or spiked
My sister stitched her flares and made em into drainpipes
She was into Adam Ant and Wutherin Heights
I was gettin into Madness and ?

....
Singin' Hip-Hop Factory running wild through the Ghost Town

And All I wanted was some boots and braces
? was a racist
She then explained that we weren't quite cocasian
As we could see black children are some future addiction
And she keep that shtum
All my friends are gettin brainwashed
? are scratchin on the desktops

We had some violence on the TV
Broken down on Newsround
while eatin toast I was watchin coppers get beat down
Church discos and trips with the play scheme
? and the girl of my dreams
My tenth birthday and those two-tones stay fresh
?
Lent it to a friend, never got it back
Dear Jim could you fix it for me?
Remember that?

Chorus:
Just a 70s baby early 80s child
Reminiscin bout the days in the brick back yard
Just a 70s baby early 80s child
Reminscin bout the days and you think times are hard

O let me tell you whoah wicked which was in power
And o my god she did empower
Cos the ? made a living hell
Till man against man forgot the boys and girls
We had no future, home computer
Had to make do with what we had
? and the hand-me-down gowns
?
We'll let you on the radio
Mum turn it up its a new thing yeh
?

?
And if you had a score to settle you resolved it with your brain
Not like now they're using guns and bats
Mobbin old folk we dont need no more of that

Chorus

Every brick and every stone thrown
?
Gave back as good as what they got

Someone help me fill in the blanks

I was gettin into Madness and grifter bikes

Used to get away with murder when Grandad babysat

Singin' Hip-Hop Factory running wild through the Ghost Town

And All I wanted was some boots and braces
My ear pierced, so Mum "what's a racist?"
She didn't explain that we weren't quite cocasian
As we could see black children on some future occasion
And she keep that shtum
All my friends are gettin brainwashed
Them infant Schwarzenegger’s are scratchin on the desktops

We had some violence on the TV
Broken down on Newsround
while eatin toast I was watchin coppers get beat down
Church discos and trips with the play scheme
Dancin to Ska, kissing the girl of my dreams
My tenth birthday and those two-tones stay pressed
Money in my card I bought ?, yes
Lent it to a friend, never got it back
Dear Jim could you fix it for me?
Remember that?

Chorus:
Just a 70s baby early 80s child
Reminiscin bout the days in the brick back yard
Just a 70s baby early 80s child
Reminscin bout the days and you think times are hard

Oh, oh a wicked witch was in power
And o my god she did devour
Cos the spell called depression made a living hell
Turned man against man forgot the boys and girls
We had, no future, home computer
Had to make do with what we had
? and the hand-me-down gowns
?
We'll let you on the radio
Mum turn it up its a new thing yeh
Now all I want is ?
He’s got the next best friend started scratchin and breakin

?
And if you had a score to settle you resolved it with your brain, kid
Not like now they're using guns and bats
Robbin' old folk, we don’t need no more of that

Chorus

Every brick and every stone thrown
?
Gave back as good as what they got

anyone know the lyrics for burn me slow?

>>By la (Wednesday, 25 Jun 2003 11:01)

Wicked tune
A couple of lines i reckon:
Singin' Lip Up Fatty running wild through the Ghost Town (lip up fatty - Bad Manners tune)

NF and swastikas they're scratchin on the desktops (NF - national front, right wing political group)

while eatin Toast Toppers watchin coppers get beat down

Money in my card I bought One Stpe Beyond yes (Madness LP)

Knock-a-door-run and the hand-me-down gowns (kids entertainment! knock on someones door and run off!! haha)

Brings it all back....
:D

Correct me if I'm wrong, but isn't it "reminiscin' about the days in a *britain* backyard"?

>>By amb_ (Tuesday, 21 Oct 2003 14:49)

i LOVE this tune!

cant get the 12" no more here ... record store says its deleted

cool y'all people getting together the words an all

>>By habibi (Saturday, 25 Oct 2003 21:12)

sounds like "brick backyards" to me ..

i woulda never made out "swastikas"! but yeh ... when you listen & listen it seems right ... & it make more sense than the schwarzenegger thing

i think the line after "used to get away with murder when grandad babysat" is,
"used to play fox and hound 'til the sun came down"

line before "got the next best friend started scratchin and breakin" sounds like,
"all I wanted was high Docs with fat laces" ... but i dunno ...
with the scratchin and breakin Pumas woulda been more likely than Docs, no!?

can't make out any of the other missing bits either

>>By habibi (Saturday, 25 Oct 2003 21:57)

> Can anybody recommend me a playlist for NoW - what r the best tunes ?

i really like "me + you" and "you're not alone" too ...

>>By habibi (Saturday, 25 Oct 2003 22:02)

Reviving an old thread but hey...

I patched up and cleaned up the lyrics script above, some parts sounded different to me and added the missing bits the best I could. There still is a migging bit and I'm not very sure about a few of the lines.

it can be found here: www.talocan.net/forum/index.php?showtopic=42

If anyone can build upon this version to come up with the missing bits or correct any wrong lines, it would be great.
