84 Songtext
von Take That

′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 old
Thatcher was the minister in charge
All the miners were on strike
And my dad had gone away
And the Smiths were riding high up in the charts
It was there on Broad Oak 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 clocks 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"


24 years later
And we're in the hands of Labour
And we′ve got 10,000 troops out in Iraq
I am living now in London
And, at present, I am single
And it took my dad a long time to come back

'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

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
