BACK TO THE 80s
by Gerald G ©2025

Verse 1:

Posters of stars and stonewashed jeans,
Caught in the glare of TV dreams.
Shoulder pads wide, laughing out loud,
Boombox playing, we drew a crowd.

Verse 2:
Cassette tape spinning our Friday night,

Big hair teased, dancing in streetlight.

Bright signs and arcade kings,

MTV told us we could sing.

Chorus:

Take me back to the eighties, baby,
Where the beats were bold and the nights were crazy.
Synths were loud and the world felt right,
Living for style in the heat of the night.
Big dreams, wild hearts, no doubt,
That’s what the 80s was about!

Verse 3:
Reeboks pumping on checkerboard floors,

Posters of Bowie on bedroom doors.

Fast cars, slow jams, and feathered hair,

Leather and lace, we didn’t care.

Chorus:

Take me back to the eighties, baby,
Where the beats were bold and the nights were crazy.
Synths were loud and the world felt right,
Living for style in the heat of the night.
Big dreams, wild hearts, no doubt,
That’s what the 80s was about!

Instrumental

Bridge:
We dressed like stars, felt ten feet tall,

Spray can dreams on a brickwork wall.

When fashion talked, we listened loud,

Misfits shining, lost in the crowd.

Chorus:
Take me back to the eighties, baby—
Where the beats were bold and the nights were crazy.
Synths were loud and the world felt right,
Living for style in the heat of the night.
Big dreams, wild hearts, no doubt—
That’s what the 80s was about!
