[Verse 1] I was born in the eighties When the world was changing fast Cassette tapes and Saturday cartoons VHS rewind, trying to make the good times last And knocking on your mate’s door after school No smartphones in our pockets No internet to waste our time Just a radio in the bedroom And a Walkman in our minds We’d stay out till the streetlights Called home when we got back We didn’t know we were making The memories we would never get back [Pre-Chorus] We didn’t need much We didn’t need a plan We were young and full of dreams Just trying to understand [Chorus] Born in the eighties Raised in the nineties Then the two-thousands came along From the first kiss To the Friday nights Dancing to our favourite songs We drank until the sunrise We laughed until we cried We thought we’d live forever With our best mates by our side [Verse 2] Bedtimes came too late And the milkman heard us scream Broken bikes and muddy knees And paper chains in every dream We learned the world by trial By a scraped-up, stubborn heart Every summer felt like forever Every goodbye tore us apart [Pre-Chorus] We didn’t need much We didn’t need a plan We were young and full of dreams Just trying to understand [Chorus] Born in the eighties Raised in the nineties Then the two-thousands came along From the first kiss To the Friday nights Dancing to our favourite songs We drank until the sunrise We laughed until we cried We thought we’d live forever With our best mates by our side [Bridge] Now the kids are scrolling Where we used to run But when that old song starts We’re back before we’re done Back on the curb, back in the heat Back where the whole world fit in one street [Final Chorus] Born in the eighties Raised in the nineties Then the two-thousands came along From the first kiss To the Friday nights Dancing to our favourite songs We drank until the sunrise We laughed until we cried We thought we’d live forever With our best mates by our side
