I could be desperate

I think i'm brave

Could stay and watch you

You gave me nothing, an early grave

Im vegetating. i want more, more, more

I want everything in 1981

Anywhere, any place will do

Im leaving england

Were near the ending

You gave me nothing

No more pretending

Im looking forward to our parting in 1981, 1981

Were near the ending

Im just pretending

Its all been said before

I want more, more, more in 1981, 1981, 1981

You gave me nothing

I want more, more, more

I want everything in 1981

Im leaving england

Were near the ending

You gave me nothing

No more pretending

1981

I want everything in 1981
