I could be desperate
I think I'm brave
Could stay and watch you
(repeat)

You gave me nothing
An early grave
I'm vegetating I want more, more, more
I want everything in 1981

Anywhere
Any place will do
I'm leaving England
We're near the ending
You gave me nothing
No more pretending
I'm looking forward 
To our parting in 1981
1981

We're near the ending
I'm just pretending
It's all been said before

I want more, more, more in 1981
1981
1981
You gave me nothing
I want more, more, more
I want everything in 1981

I'm leaving England
We're near the ending
You gave me nothing
No more pretending

1981 (repeat)
I want everything in 1981
1981 (repeat)
I want everything in 1981
