    Written in 1978

    All you kids that just sit and whine
    You should have been there back in '79
    You say we're giving you a real hard time
    You boys are really breaking my heart
    Spurs beat Arsenal, what a game
    The blood was running in the drains
    Intercity took the trains
    And really took the place apart
    That was the year Nan Harris died
    And Charlie Jones committed suicide
    The world we knew busted open wide
    In the winter of '79

    I'd been working on and off
    A pint of beer was still ten bob
    My brand new Bonneville got ripped off
    I more or less give up trying
    They stopped the Social in the spring
    And quite a few communists got run in
    And National Service come back in
    In the winter of '79
    When Marco's caff went up in flames
    The Vambo boys took the blame
    The SAS come and took our names
    In the winter of '79

    It was us poor bastards took the chop
    When the tubes gone up and the buses stopped
    The top people still come out on top
    The government never resigned
    The Carib Club got petrol bombed
    The National Front was getting awful strong
    They done in Dave and Dagenham Ron
    In the winter of '79
    When all the gay geezers got put inside
    And coloured kids was getting crucified
    A few fought back and a few folks died
    In the winter of '79

    Yes a few of us fought
    And a few of us died
    In the winter of '79
