In the Year

In the year when your bicycle broke, you were crying in the yard

But the world was a glorious game, new adventures stole your heart

It will come, it will go

But you hold on to what you know

You play your part, oh-ho

You play your part, oh-ho

You only fall for what you really want to

In the year when the future was lost you were fighting in the class

Headed west with your wits and snarl, left your parents in the past

'78 was the year you explored, tore your clothes and shaved your head

Joined a band with a broken down van, thought your life was really swell

It will come, it will go

But you hold on to what you know

You play your part, oh-ho

You play your part, oh-ho

You only fall for what you really want to, uh-huh

You only fall for what you really want to

Save it all, save it all

Save it and wipe your tears away

Save it all, save it all

Save it and wipe those tears

It has gone, it has gone

But you hold on to what you know

You play your part, oh-ho

You play your part, oh-ho

You only fall for what you really want to, uh-huh

You play your part, oh-ho

You only fall for what you really

Fall for what you really

Fall for what you really want to
