Thatcher was in power
Times were tight and sour
The letter A was sprayed in a circle everywhere (ooh)

And everybody's head was gettin' shaved or spiked
My sister stitched her flares and made 'em into drainpipes
She was into Adam Ant and Wuthering Heights
I was getting into Madness and grifter bikes

Mom had to work late, I had no complaints
Used to get away with murder when Grandad babysat us
Used to play fox and hound 'til the sun came down
Singin' Lip Up Fatty, running wild through the ghost town

And all I wanted was Doc boots and braces
My ear pierced, "So, mum, what's a racist?"
She didn't explain that we weren't quite Caucasian
And we conceive black children on some future occasion
And she'd keep that shtum
All my friends are gettin' brainwashed
Nf and swastikas they're scratchin' on the desktops

Mhm, hey
Mhm, hey
Mhm, hey
Mhm

Riots and violence on the TV
Broken down on Newsround while eatin' Toast Toppers
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 One Step Beyond, yes
Lent it to a friend, never got it back
"Dear Jim could you fix it for me?"
Remember that?

Just a 70s baby, early 80s child
Reminiscin' 'bout the days in the brick backyard
Just a 70s baby, early 80s child
Reminscin' 'bout the days and you think times are hard

Mhm, hey
Mhm, hey
Mhm, hey
Mhm

Oh, let me tell you now, woo, oh, a wicked witch was in power
And oh, my god she did devour
Cast a 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
Knock-a-door-run and the hand-me-down gowns
Current beat, upbeat, Cracker Jack of Underground
Synthpop, Muppet Show, electro on the radio
Mum, turn it up, it's a new thing, yeah

Now all I want is high tech's with fat basses
Got the next best friend started scratchin' and breakin'
Snatch your racks and battery by the stack to keep the boom box from going flat
Didn't cope and went in over the store with a performance kid
This place has never been so packed
Street light for a spot light, cardboard box for a stage
And if you had a score to settle you resolved it with your breakin'
Not like now they're using guns and bats
Robbin' old folk, we don't need no more of that

Just a 70s baby, early 80s child
Reminiscin' 'bout the days in the brick backyard
Just a 70s baby, early 80s child
Reminscin' 'bout the days and you think times are hard

Mhm, hey
Just a 70s baby, early 80s child
Reminiscin' 'bout the days in the brick backyard

Thatcher was in power
Thatcher estava no poder
Times were tight and sour
Os tempos eram apertados e amargos
The letter A was sprayed in a circle everywhere (ooh)
A letra A estava pintada em um círculo em todos os lugares (ooh)
And everybody's head was gettin' shaved or spiked
E a cabeça de todos estava sendo raspada ou espetada
My sister stitched her flares and made 'em into drainpipes
Minha irmã costurou suas calças boca de sino e as transformou em calças justas
She was into Adam Ant and Wuthering Heights
Ela gostava de Adam Ant e O Morro dos Ventos Uivantes
I was getting into Madness and grifter bikes
Eu estava me interessando por Madness e bicicletas grifter
Mom had to work late, I had no complaints
Mamãe tinha que trabalhar até tarde, eu não tinha reclamações
Used to get away with murder when Grandad babysat us
Costumava se safar de assassinatos quando o vovô cuidava de nós
Used to play fox and hound 'til the sun came down
Costumava brincar de raposa e cão até o sol se pôr
Singin' Lip Up Fatty, running wild through the ghost town
Cantando Lip Up Fatty, correndo selvagem pela cidade fantasma
And all I wanted was Doc boots and braces
E tudo que eu queria eram botas Doc e suspensórios
My ear pierced, "So, mum, what's a racist?"
Meu ouvido furado, "Então, mãe, o que é um racista?"
She didn't explain that we weren't quite Caucasian
Ela não explicou que não éramos bem caucasianos
And we conceive black children on some future occasion
E que conceberíamos crianças negras em alguma ocasião futura
And she'd keep that shtum
E ela manteria isso em segredo
All my friends are gettin' brainwashed
Todos os meus amigos estão sendo lavados cerebralmente
Nf and swastikas they're scratchin' on the desktops
Nf e suásticas que estão arranhando nas mesas

Riots and violence on the TV
Distúrbios e violência na TV
Broken down on Newsround while eatin' Toast Toppers
Quebrado no Newsround enquanto comia Toast Toppers
Watchin' coppers get beat down
Assistindo policiais apanharem
Church discos and trips with the play scheme
Discotecas da igreja e viagens com o esquema de brincadeiras
Dancin' to ska, kissing the girl of my dreams
Dançando ska, beijando a garota dos meus sonhos
My tenth birthday and those two-tones stay pressed
Meu décimo aniversário e aqueles dois tons permanecem pressionados
Money in my card I bought One Step Beyond, yes
Dinheiro no meu cartão, comprei One Step Beyond, sim
Lent it to a friend, never got it back
Emprestei a um amigo, nunca o recebi de volta
"Dear Jim could you fix it for me?"
"Querido Jim, você poderia consertar isso para mim?"
Remember that?
Lembra disso?
Just a 70s baby, early 80s child
Apenas um bebê dos anos 70, criança dos anos 80
Reminiscin' 'bout the days in the brick backyard
Reminiscências sobre os dias no quintal de tijolos
Just a 70s baby, early 80s child
Apenas um bebê dos anos 70, criança dos anos 80

Oh, let me tell you now, woo, oh, a wicked witch was in power
Oh, deixe-me contar agora, woo, oh, uma bruxa malvada estava no poder
And oh, my god she did devour
E oh, meu Deus, ela devorou
Cast a spell called depression made a living hell
Lançou um feitiço chamado depressão, fez um inferno vivo
Turned man against man forgot the boys and girls
Transformou homem contra homem, esqueceu os meninos e meninas
We had no future, home computer
Não tínhamos futuro, computador em casa
Had to make do with what we had
Tivemos que nos contentar com o que tínhamos
Knock-a-door-run and the hand-me-down gowns
Bater e correr na porta e os vestidos passados de mão em mão
Current beat, upbeat, Cracker Jack of Underground
Batida atual, animada, Cracker Jack do Underground
Synthpop, Muppet Show, electro on the radio
Synthpop, Muppet Show, electro no rádio
Mum, turn it up, it's a new thing, yeah
Mãe, aumenta o volume, é uma coisa nova, sim
Now all I want is high tech's with fat basses
Agora tudo que eu quero são tecnologias de ponta com graves pesados
Got the next best friend started scratchin' and breakin'
Consegui o próximo melhor amigo começando a arranhar e quebrar
Snatch your racks and battery by the stack to keep the boom box from going flat
Pegue suas prateleiras e bateria pelo monte para manter o boom box de ficar vazio
Didn't cope and went in over the store with a performance kid
Não aguentou e entrou na loja com uma criança de performance
This place has never been so packed
Este lugar nunca esteve tão cheio
Street light for a spot light, cardboard box for a stage
Luz de rua para um holofote, caixa de papelão para um palco
And if you had a score to settle you resolved it with your breakin'
E se você tinha uma pontuação para resolver, você a resolvia com sua quebra
Not like now they're using guns and bats
Não como agora eles estão usando armas e bastões
Robbin' old folk, we don't need no more of that
Roubando velhos, não precisamos mais disso
