1985

In 1985

I placed a bet and lied

Losing all that I had

At least with all my heart intact



In 1985

Orwell was proved right

Torville and Dean's Bolero

Redundant as a sad Welsh chapel



In 1985, in 1985

So God is dead

Like Nietzsche said

Superstition is all we have left



Circle the wagons

We're under attack

We've realised there's no going back

We've realised there's no going back



In 1985

The civil war failed why

Kept hidden like scars of birth

Nature unable to soften the words



In 1985

My words they came alive

Friends were made for life

Morrissey and Mar gave me choice



In 1985, in 1985

So God is dead

Like Nietzsche said

Only 16 years of age he said

See all the tears for the walking dead



We've realised there's no going back

We've realised there's no going back



In 1985

I placed a bet and lied

Losing all that I had
