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

Oh Thatcher was the minister in charge

Oh the miners were on strike

And my Dad had gone away

And the Swiss were riding high up in the charts

It was there on Gordod 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 clock 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

Twenty-four years later

And we're in the hands of labour

And we've got ten thousand troops out in Iraq

I am living now in London

And at present I am single

And in somewhere died along since you come back

84 was apretty 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
