1985 - In the City

Осень А в воздухе весна Мне дома было скучно И я пошла туда, э-эй Танцпол был одиноким Одни лишь огоньки (эй) Но справа этот парень стоит И смотрит, и смотрит (раз, два, три) Танцуй, танцуй Танцуй, танцуй Ну что ты стоишь? Ну что ты стоишь, а? Танцуй, танцуй Танцуй, танцуй Мне нужен твой движ Так нужен твой движ Танцуй, танцуй Танцуй, танцуй Ну что ты стоишь? Ну что ты стоишь, а? Танцуй, танцуй Танцуй, танцуй Мне нужен твой движ Мне нужен твой движ (э-эй) (Танцуй, танцуй, э-эй) (Танцуй, танцуй) (Мне нужен твой движ) (Так нужен твой движ, э-эй) (Танцуй, танцуй, э-эй) (Танцуй, танцуй) (Мне нужен твой движ) (Так нужен, нужен, нужен) И сновa вечер (вечер) Включает дискоболы Мне снова надо видеть (а) Как двигается он (он) А мама говорила "Танцпол не для мужчин" (эй) Но если б она видела На dancefloor его dance Танцуй, танцуй Танцуй, танцуй Ну что ты стоишь? Ну что ты стоишь, а? Танцуй, танцуй Танцуй, танцуй Мне нужен твой движ Так нужен твой движ Танцуй, танцуй Танцуй, танцуй Ну что ты стоишь? Ну что ты стоишь, а? Танцуй, танцуй Танцуй, танцуй Мне нужен твой движ Мне нужен твой движ (э-эй) В центре этих огней все мысли мои О нём, о нём, о нём, о нём Возьми меня с собой, я не могу ждать Соло, соло, соло, соло Ловлю его глаза, мне так надо знать Кто он, кто он, кто он, кто он Сейчас мы в центре этих огней Танцуй, танцуй, танцуй, танцуй

I lågans sken ser jag bilder av mig själv Ljusa slitna jeans, en långhårig rebell Min tonårsvärld var fylld med förortsromantik Här fanns allt man kunde få och lite till En sekund av mitt liv Förevigad med polaroid En tidsepok Har sparats i mitt liv (Chorus) Kom ge dom tiderna tillbaks Jag vill ha allt dom åren gav När tröst och skratt var dina svar När vi var oskiljaktiga Och jag fick vara... Din vän Snälla ta mig tillbaka till livet vi levde igen 1985 Du tog ett tåg och skulle åka någonstans En arena fylldes, förväntningarna brann På TV sa dom att han var en folkets man Ut i luften sjöng han "We were born to run" Alla minnen, alla år Har bleknat bort men satt sitt spår Nu står jag här Med drömmen från igår (Chorus) Kom ge dom tiderna tillbaks Jag vill ha allt dom åren gav När tröst och skratt var dina svar När vi var oskiljaktiga Och jag fick vara ... din vän Snälla ta mig tillbaka till livet vi levde igen 1985 Jag hinner inte Stanna längre I det som gått förlorat Men kärleken du gav Bär jag med mig överallt (Bär jag med mig överallt) (Chorus) Så kom ge dom tiderna tillbaks Jag vill ha allt dom åren gav När tröst och skratt var dina svar När vi var oskiljaktiga Och jag fick vara din vän Snälla ta mig tillbaka till livet vi levde igen Snälla ta mig tillbaka till livet vi levde igen 1985 Vi levde då Jag lever än

He's a really cool guy He's got a cool shirt He's got cool shoes Did I mention the shirt? If you ever got the chance to meet him You'd know why I want to be him He walks into a room And everyone respects him (everyone respects him) He reads the news And doesn't let that shit affect him (let that shit affect him) He's really happy, he's thrilled to be alive His name is any white guy in 1985 White guy, 1985 (1985) White guy, 1985 (1985) White guy, 1985 (1985) White guy, 1985 (1985) He's got a job and a family How does he do it? Balances work with his wife's underwhelming cooking He's got all the answers that I wanna know How can I be what I am, but 40 years ago, gee-whiz? He got it, and he flaunts I am the thing he is But he isn't when I walk I guess it's true that some people really got to fight to survive And some people are white guys in 1985 White guy, 1985 (1985) White guy, 1985 (1985) White guy, 1985 (1985) White guy, 1985 (1985) Wait It wasn't easy being any white guy in 1985 Some white guys were living through the AIDS crisis Some white guys were Italian And I'm not saying it's hard being a white guy now I've misspoke I don't mean to lump a group of people in a hive I think I just meant my dad in 1985 My dad, 1985 (my dad) My father, 1985 (papa) My dad, 1985 Scott Burnham, 1985 (Scott) I wanna be my dad (Scott) I wanna be my dad in the '80s (Scott) My oblivious white dad in the mid-80s (Scott) My dad was an oblivious white guy (general contractor) My father was happier than I am If I could be anybody dead or alive I would wanna be my dad in 1985

This is only the start You're only opening the book You're only on the first line of what's going to take a little while I hope you don't hold your breath because they revolt like a choir They say the language is dead, well, then why do we speak I hope you understand that my brain is fixed Into the next town This is only a revolt Enough is enough because we cannot be late Basically, you've been defined as "unworthy of love" And I confess, I had placed in my heart the same address but I paint with my words "You're free, don't fear, this is just a revolt" Into the next town This is only a revolt Calm rose: violent wind The only "surrender" tonight, shall not be our own They cannot escape, one if by land, two if by sea I saved my money, but it can't save me And maybe there is blood from the past, but that is not from me They can take away one man, and they can take away his mic But they cannot take us all No, they can't dig a hole the right size to fit all of our dreams They can't bury me, they can't bury me We can't hope that somebody else take our place No, we can't hope that somebody else take our place May the history book read of all of our names Be it blood, be it ink, but at least we were free This is only but a fraction of what I've got to say It must be said, it must be said If I leave this earth tonight may it be said that I spoke my peace I spoke with the wrath of his grace Calm rose: come violent wind Oh we stand hand in hand and we walk without fear This is a revolution!
