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
