1981
Those were the best days of our lives - this is my summer of 69. We all have them. If your lucky enough - its the here and now

lyrics

I wish it was 1981
When I was still walking in the sun
Life was so much fun
I felt like I was number 1
Way back in 1981
My life had just begun
Hanging with the girls
And man I had the world at my feet . ..

At least that's how it seemed
I always knew just how to play the game
But the rules all seemed to change
And it never was the same again

I wish it was 1982
When I had fuck all else to do
Except playing my guitar
Man I was going to be a star
Way back in 1982
When everything was new
A leather jacket and nothing to lose
I never thought I'd choose another way

If only I'd known I'd have done so much more than kiss
If someone had told me its never gonna be this way again
These are the days that I miss
If someone had told me
It don't get better than this oh no it never got better than this

I wish it was 1983
I still loved life and it loved me
And everything I'd see
Was still a possibility
Way back in 1984
We were still knocking on the door
And I was so damn sure
That life held so much more
When I was young
