In 1985   I placed a bet and lied   Losing all that i had   At least with all my heart intact      In 1985   Orwell was proved right   Torville and Dean's bolero   Redundant as a sad Welsh chapel      In 1985, in 1985   So god is dead   Like Nietzsche said   Superstition is all we have left   Circle the wagons we're under attack   We've realised there's no going back   We've realised there's no going back      In 1985   The civil war failed why   Kept hidden like the scars of birth   Nature unable to soften the words      In 1985   My words they came alive   Friends were made for life   Morrissey and Marr gave me choice      In 1985, In 1985   So god is dead   Like Nietzsche said   Only sixteen years of age he said   See all the tears for the walking dead   We've realised there's no going back   We've realised there's no going back      In 1985   I placed a bet and lied   Losing all that i had
