1974
Margaret Thatcher was just a milk snatcher
She wasn't a household name
Nobody knew what she would do and how we'd never be the same
'74 would've been a bore except for one bright spot
Because that was the year I realised exactly what I'd got
It was '74 ('74)
'74 ('74)
'74 ('74)
It was 1974 (1974)
Solzhenitsyn and President Nixon were both expelled and exiled
Patty Hearst did her worst and Duke Ellington died
Kojak was launched, Ali lost his paunch
And knocked Foreman out with a great shot
Because that was the year I realised exactly what I'd got
It was '74 ('74)
'74 ('74)
'74 ('74)
It was 1974 (1974)
Elton John was Number 1 and Mud and ELP
And Paper Lace took their place in rock music history
Tubular Bells and The Carpenters all hit the very top slot
And that was the year I realised exactly what I'd got
It was '74 ('74)
'74 ('74)
'74 ('74)
It was 1974 (1974)
Nahhhh nah nah nah nah
Nahhhh nah nah nah nah
Nahhhh nah nah nah nah
Streaking was something that really took off; Evel Knievel too
Plus Love Thy Neighbour and Bless This House
And disposable razors were new
Yuri Geller was a popular fella but Ted Heath was certainly not
Yeah that was the year I realised exactly what I'd got
It was '74 ('74)
'74 ('74)
'74 ('74)
It was 1974 (1974)
Where, do I hear, was I during this year?
I was at Marple Hall
There was nothin' anybody could tell me
I thought I knew it all
But 16 was confusing and life was not amusing
There was some good news that I got
Because that was the year I realised exactly what was what
It was '74 ('74)
'74 ('74)
'74 ('74)
It was 1974 (1974)
It was '74 ('74)
'74 ('74)
'74 ('74)
It was 1974 (1974)
Nahhhh nah nah nah nah
Nahhhh nah nah nah nah
(1974)
Nahhhh nah nah nah nah
Nahhhh nah nah nah nah
Nahhhh nah nah nah nah
Nahhhh, ahhhhhhh
(Yeah)
