Man of the 80's - Jorn

I just wanna drift away and dream of miracles

But can’t take my eyes off the road

My antenna must be switched on, and on alert

I have to focus and keep my brain at work

Growing up with my eye on the Americam Dream

Marilyn Monroe and James Dean

And I remember the day when Elvis passed away

«The king is dead" — that’s what the headlines used to say

Now I know how I used to be blind

My knowledge grows, the vision shows

I’ve tried to learn from the highs and the lows

Man of the '80s turns the radio on

Takes him back when they play his favourite songs

Far from the future was a life of the past

Man of the '80s

I wish we could last

Yes, I was a young boy back in '79

FM stations and TV in it’s prime

Mother Teresa and her angels won the Nobel Prize

Out of the Cold War hope began to rise

Berlin Wall fell and tears of darkness dried in the sun

No more hiding, no more on the run

Now it’s out of fashion the predictions of our fall

Millenium supposed to be the end of us all

And so I raise another glass of wine

And drink to life

I’ll take the strife

I’m still ready to push and go

Man of the '80s with his dream specs on

Chasing shadows long dead and gone

He might look rusty, but he still feels like new

Man of the '80s

My heart is you

We fought the winds that blew

Through all the years that flew away

Man of the '80s in the same old shoes

Reading the future and the same old news

Turning pages in the chapter he belongs

Man of the '80s

Still coming on strong

Man of the '80s

Man of the '80s

Man of the '80s

Hey…

Man of the '80s

Man of the '80s

Feel the fire so true

We’re like one, we two

Man of the '80s

It’s me and you
