'84 was a pretty good year I lost my heart back then in 1984 was a pretty good year I lost my heart to 1984. It was 1984 and I was nearly 16 years old Thatcher was the minister in charge All the miners were on strike and My dad had gone away And the Smiths were riding high up in the charts. It was there on Rodal(?) Road While I was waiting in the cold For my mate when you came along And heaven knows that it was like a heart attack That year when you said to me "If you give a little bit more, Just a little bit more, You'll get a little bit more. If you try a little bit harder, Just a little bit harder, Then you'll get it for sure You'll get it for sure" I was nervous, I was sweating Seemed like she was on a mission When she took me by the hand up to her room There were posters on her wall I saw flowers in her hair But I never got the chance to see them bloom 'Cause the clocks stopped And the years rolled by But the time never Left my mind. When she said: "If you give a little bit more, Just a little bit more, You'll get a little bit more. If you try a little bit harder, Just a little bit harder, Then you'll get it for sure You'll get it for sure" 24 years later and We're in the hands of Labour And we've got 10,000 troops out in Iraq I am living now in London And at present I am single And it took my dad a long time to come back. '84 was a pretty good year I lost my heart back then in 1984 was a pretty good year I lost my heart to 1984. If you give a little bit more, Just a little bit more, You'll get a little bit more. If you try a little bit harder, Just a little bit harder, Then you'll get it for sure You'll get it for sure 1984 '84 1984 '84 1984 '84 1984 '84 1984 '84
