1970’S GUY


YOU USED TO TOW ME AROUND ON MY ROLLERSKATES,
ON THE COOLEST BIKE OF THE WHOLE DECADE,
YOU REMEMBER YOUR OLD RALEIGH ONE,
WITH ROOM ON THE BACK FOR BOTH OF US,
AND THEN LATER ON YOU’D STEAL A KISS OR TWO,
WITH ELVIS COSTELLO PUMPING THROUGH,
AND BUGGLES PLAYING ON THE RADIO,
SHOWING US THE WAY TO GO.


CHR:
WHEN YOU WALK IN TO THE ROOM YOU STILL MAKE MY HEART FLY,
COS YOU’RE MY 1970’S GUY,
1970’S HALCYON IMAGES,1970’S HALCYON IMAGES,
YOU’RE MY 1970’S GUY, YOU’RE MY 1970’S GUY….

U. S BOYS IN VIETNAM ARE IN THE NEWS,
WHILE AT HOME THE 3 DAY WEEKS GIVING US THE BLUES,
MY MA IS COMPLAINING ‘BOUT THE PRICE OF FISH,
WHILE IM ADDING SINDY TO MY CHRISTMAS LIST,
ALL OF THE BREAKERS WATCH THE MAX LIGHTS GLOW,
1 – 4 FOR A COPY ON THE RADIO,
EVERYTHING WAS SIMPLE LIFE WAS SUCH A BREEZE,
WHEN WE WERE THE CHILDREN OF THE 70’S

CHR.

EVERY SATURDAY AFTER THE GOODIES SHOW,
COUSIN KEVIN USED TO BEAT ME AT SUBUTTEO,
DEBBIE WOULD BE HANGING ON THE TELEPHONE,
WHILE LITTLE JIMMYS LISTENING TO THE UNDERTONES,
I USED TO WATCH T-REX ON SATURDAY NIGHT,
WHILE THE ROCKET MAN WAS LOOKING FOR A FIGHT,
I LOVE TO BOOGIE WATCH ME GO,
ZIP GUN BOOGIE WITH MARC YOU KNOW
