lyrics

EDUCATION THE 80s WAY

It's true
I guess we never really knew
What we were thinking
At the time you and I were never once aware
That we were only passing through

We were making memories
In a country lane by an old oak tree
Some kind of education the 80s way
And all the days would lead to here
And all the days would lead to here

In time
We might grow up and out of awkward phases
Shoot the breeze with the friendly faces
Act like everything's alright
Alright?

We were making memories
In a broken mill by a willow stream
Some kind of education the 80s way

And all the days would lead to here
Through every place and time, every year
And we should keep alive the good tradition
Alright?

Now we're trading memories
In a country pub on an August day
Some kind of education the 80s way
And all the days would lead to here
The days would lead to here
And all the days would lead to here
Days would lead to here
Now
