80's Life Lyrics
Where do I see the light?
It's all gone dead in a way
Oh Lord can a stone be ballest for an aching soul
Learning how to know your mind
My made up thing on the way back
To get out before I'm feeling you just blow them all away
It's 80's life
But it all looks good on you
Ohh-oh-ohhh-
Suddenly police run out and hope is found in a sound
I don't want to live a war
That's got no end in our time
Call it living in this country
Calling it missing dawn patrol
It's 80's life
And it's all gone right on you
It's all gone dead in a way
My made up thing on the way back
But it all looks good on you
I don't want to live a war
That's got no end in our time
Calling it missing dawn patrol
And it's all gone right on you

THIS SONG KICKS ASS. But those lyrics are way off...
Where do I see the light It's all gone dead in a way
Cos more or less and get on by My made up thing on the day
Oh Lord can a stone Be ballest for an aching soul
Just learning how to know your mind No hiding out on the way back
To get out before I'm feeling You just blow them all away It's eighties life But it all looks good on you
Suddenly police run out And hope is found in a sound
Cos I don't want to live a war That's got no end in our time
Call it living in this country Calling it missing dawn patrol It's eighties life And it's all gone right on you
I've just gotten into this band after liking Blur and the Gorillaz they don't have the most original sound (because the same lead singer from the Gorillaz heads these guys) but I really like this song it's chord pattern reminds me a lot of an old 50's ballad-type song great tune
I really think this song is about the early 80s living in England, specifically the Falklands War and the rampant nationalism that spread throughout England due to it. If you've seen the film "This is England" that came out last year it should explain this song pretty well.
treefingers, I agree it's not an original sound if you just looking at by comparing bands, but I am glad you recognize that it is Albarn leading all three bands. And I think this is his sound. If you know your Blur history, one reason they broke up was because Albarn was trying to control the direction of the band too much.
I think most song writers have a sound, and this is ALbarn's, and I really like it.
