Mass confusion everywhere.
From Poll Tax riots to Tiananmen Square.
Strikes and protests all over the place.
Front page headlines they did grace.
But amid the chaos, we had fun.
We'd bask all day in the hot summer sun.
Then off to the youth club later that day.
We went there to work, rest and play.
Jeans and T-shirts were the order of the day
When the smiley logos came out to play,
Along with shell suits and Nike trainers.
80's fashions were loud. I wish they were plainer.
