Toy Dolls - Back In '79

Just like we had f-f-f-feared

The mates we had have all disappeared

Nicky, Flip, Paul, Fat Bob and Ted

They all done a bunk and all got wed

Out with the lads for a laugh and a beer

Those days are no longer 'ere

With a lump in yer throat and a shiver down yer spine

They're the memories of 1979

Oh that's where we wanna be

1979

Oh that's where we wanna be

Back in '79

Flip a punk s-s-suddenly aged

He sold his leather jacket just to get engaged

Bobby was a skinhead, but Bobby's hair grew

All for a bird who made him b-b-blue

We never thought we'de see the day

Teddy with a Mrs in the family way

Oh what went wrong? things were just fine

So take me back to 1979

Oh that's where we wanna be

1979

Oh that's where we wanna be

Back in '79

Freddie was a free bloke f-f-full o' life

Now Freddie is a bag o' misery with a wife

Everynight George hit the town

By 8'o clock now he's in his dressing gown

They ain't the lads we knew before

You don't see them down the pub no more

They're discontented mates o' mine

Who wanna be back in 1979

Oh that's where we wanna be

1979

Oh that's where we wanna be

Back in '79

Toy Dolls - I'm A Telly Addict

I don't need a doctor
I don't need a drugstore
I don't need an injection
I need to put the telly on

Songs of Praise, Pakistani plays
I can't control my TV craze

Got me in a cold sweat
I don't need no cigarette
Sh sh sh shaking like a jelly fish
I need a satellite dish

There's no doubt that I miss nowt
A TV I can't do without
Anything you get on yer television set
I'll watch it, watch it, watch it

I'm a telly, I'm a telly, telly I'm addicted
Telly, I'm a telly, I can tell I am addicted
I'm a telly, I'm a telly, telly I'm addicted
Telly, I'm a telly, I can tell I am addicted

I like to keep a step ahead
A TV in the garden shed
And with a telly in the bog
I never miss the epilogue

Dynasty or Daktari
A broadcast by the Tory party
Celebrity squares, blind date, who cares
I'll watch it, watch it, watch it

I'm a telly, I'm a telly, telly I'm addicted
Telly, I'm a telly, I can tell I am addicted

It's no surprise I've got square eyes, anyone could predict
I'm TV mad, I'm a telly addict!

I'm a man in great pain
The box is on the blink again
I don't need no morphine
I need a television screen

Documentaries, there's no degrees
I'll even watch a film if it's in Chinese
A speech from the Queen, though I'm not very keen
I'll watch it, watch it, watch it

I'm a telly, I'm a telly, telly I'm addicted
Telly, I'm a telly, I can tell I am addicted
I'm a telly, I'm a telly, telly I'm addicted
Telly, I'm a telly, I can tell I am addicted

I'm a telly, I'm a telly, telly I'm addicted
Telly, I'm a telly, I can tell I am addicted
I'm a telly, I'm a telly, telly I'm addicted
I'll watch it, watch it, watch it
Cause I'm addicted

The Toy Dolls - When You're Jimmy Savile

Jimmy lives his life for charity
Jimmy's got no wife just an O.B.E.
Everybody depends on Jimmy
Jimmy's getting a little cheesed off
Jimmy reckons they've all enough
If they want Jim it's tough

Coz when you're Jimmy Saville (Woooooo)
Everybody thinks yer brill (Think yer brill)
But Jim'll fix it's to be done (Woooooo)
Then that bleedin' Great North Run (The Great North Run)
No it's never too much fun for James

Jimmy does get up at 4:30
But Jimmy does not get time for breaky
He's not complaining, Jimmy's training
Somebody's sponsoring Jim again
So Jimmy bites his tongue and counts to ten
"Oh stuff this" Jimmy snarles

Coz when you're Jimmy Saville (Woooooo)
Everybody thinks yer brill (Think yer brill)
But Jim'll fix it's to be done (Woooooo)
Then that bleedin' Great North Run (The Great North Run)
No it's never too much fun for James

There's no time off, Jimmy's in deep
For James there ain't no sleep

Coz when you're Jimmy Saville (Woooooo)
Everybody thinks yer brill (Think yer brill)
But Jim'll fix it's to be done (Woooooo)
Then that bleedin' Great North Run (The Great North Run)
No it's never too much fun for James

Toy Dolls - Fisticuffs in Frederick Street

Frederick Street was on the news tonight
Outside Fosters club had been a fight
And everytime you go to dig the beat
You will hear a yelp and somebody shouting for help...

Hello, hello, hello, hello, who's down there?
Who's down there?
Hello, hello, hello, hello, who's down there?
Who's down there?
In the fisticuffs in Frederick Street
I don't wanna be, I don't wanna be, you don't wanna be
We don't wanna be there..

Fosters club was full up to the brim
Everybody risking life and limb
And just to go and pose at the disco
But posing wasn't easy and the D.J
He got queasy, blow by blow...

Hello, hello, hello, hello, who's down there?
Who's down there?
Hello, hello, hello, hello, who's down there?
Who's down there?
In the fisticuffs in Frederick Street
I don't wanna be, I don't wanna be, you don't wanna be
We don't wanna be there..

Everything's silent on Frederick Street
A lonely policeman walks the beat...
Before long everybody'll know
That Fosters club is not the place to go
Unless you want your head kicking in
You will hear a yelp and somebody shouting for help...

Hello, hello, hello, hello, who's down there?
Who's down there?
Hello, hello, hello, hello, who's down there?
Who's down there?
In the fisticuffs in Frederick Street
I don't wanna be, I don't wanna be, you don't wanna be
We don't wanna be there..

Toy Dolls - James Bond Lives Down Our Street

My name is Bond! James Bond.

James Bond lives down our street
I've seen him he catches the 32 bus
James Bond lives down our street
Sometimes he sits on the back seat with us
He's got a gun strapped to his chest
You can't shoot him in a bullet proof vest
A clever lad but can be a pest sometime

0.0.7. James Bond lives down our street
Jimmy's a spy but both you and I know
Sean Connery or Roger Moore, that I'm not quite sure
But what I know is James Bond...
Lives down our street

James Bond lives down our street
Sometimes he gets a helicopter to work
James Bond lives down our street
Me dad's oldfashioned and he says he's a jerk
He's always chasing a heavy mob
He should go out and get a proper job
He should go out and get a proper job sometime

0.0.7. James Bond lives down our street
Jimmy's a spy but both you and I know
Sean Connery or Roger Moore, that I'm not quite sure
But what I know is James Bond...
Lives down our street

Down our street there lives a spy
Says he works for M.I. 5
He's always a star when you're having a party
Says he went to school with Russel Harty
He's a real smarty
He is a real smarty.

My hair is Blonde! Dyed blonde!

Toy Dolls - Spiders In The Dressing Room

I was getting dressed late one night
along came a spider and I got a fright
oh I could not squash it flat
No matter how I tried,
And when it looked me in the eye
I ran away to hide...

I put on me Doctor Martin shoes
A battle with the spider that I wasn't gonna loose
A kick from the left a kick from the right
I was on the floor but I was alright
It was gonna be a long long night

Spiders in the dressing room
Spiders everywhere
Spider in the dressing room beware

Spiders in the dressing room
Spiders everywhere
Spider in the dressing room beware

Things were getting hot and I had to take a chance
The spider got impatient
Started crawling up me pants
I shook it off me legthump it hit the ground
Everything was silent so I didn't make a sound
I crossed the room as happy as can be
I had killed the spider now it couldn't bother me
But with me arm on the light
He was there ready for a fight
It was gonna be a long long night.

Spiders in the dressing room
Spiders everywhere
Spider in the dressing room beware

Spiders in the dressing room
Spiders everywhere
Spider in the dressing room beware

It was getting late and the spider wasn't dead
An audience had gathered round
AndI was going red
I put a jam jar on the floor
the spider crawled inside it
I screwed the lid back on the top
And threw the jar outside
At a party late that night
Everything was bright and gay
We played all our pop records and danced the night away,
Early in the morning came a knocking at the door
I opened it slowly guess what I saw
It was gonna be a long long night...


Spiders in the dressing room
Spiders everywhere
Spider in the dressing room beware

Spiders in the dressing room
Spiders everywhere
Spider in the dressing room beware

Toy Dolls - Nellie The Elephant

To Bombay a travelling circus came
They brought an intelligent elephant
And Nellie was her name

One dark night she slipped her iron chain,
And off she ran to Hindustan
And was never seen again

Oooooooooooooooooo...

Nellie the elephant packed her trunk
And said goodbye to the circus
Off she rode with a trumpety trump
Trump trump trump
Nellie the elephant packed her trunk
And trundled off to the jungle
Off she rode with a trumpety trump
Trump trump trump

Night by night she danced to the circus band
When Nellie was leading the big parade
She looked so proud and grand

No more tricks for Nellie to perform
They taught her how to take a bow
And she took the crowd by storm

Oooooooooooooooooo...

Nellie the elephant packed her trunk
And said goodbye to the circus
Off she rode with a trumpety trump
Trump trump trump
Nellie the elephant packed her trunk
And trundled off to the jungle
Off she rode with a trumpety trump
Trump trump trump

The head of the heard was calling far far away
They met one night in silver light
On the road to Mandalay

Oooooooooooooooooo...

Nellie the elephant packed her trunk
And said goodbye to the circus
Off she rode with a trumpety trump
Trump trump trump
Nellie the elephant packed her trunk
And trundled off to the jungle
Off she rode with a trumpety trump
Trump trump trump
