Lyrics
Spirit Of 81
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
History isn't honest
It doesn't tell the tale of how things used to be in "the day"
Now everyone keeps trying to recapture a feeling
That's long since gone
Time to move along
Spirit of '81 - Time to get it back
Spirit of '81 - It flew off the track
Spirit of '81 - Time to resurrect
Spirit of '81 - It's better off dead
The new kids talk about the old days
As if it was some kind of perfect scene for us
Big deal - So I was there - It was only luck that I was born before you
Take your shitty bands - saying they were great
Believe me, nobody cares
So I'm old and cranky - But at least I'm right
Sure the old days were great but lets move on
Spirit of '81 - Time to get it back
Spirit of '81 - It flew off the track
Spirit of '81 - Time to resurrect
Spirit of '81 - It's better off dead
Spirit of '81 - Time to get it back
Spirit of '81 - It flew off the track
Spirit of '81 - Time to resurrect
Spirit of '81 - It's better off dead
