just like we had ffffeared, the mates we had have all dissapeared

nicky, flip, paul, fat bob and ted, they all done a bunk & 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 & a shiver down yer spine

they're the memories of 1979

[chorus:]

wooooooooooo that's where we wanna be

1979

wooooooooooo that's where we wanna be

back in '79

flip a punk sssuddenly 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 bbblue

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

[chorus] ...

[guitar bit]

freddie was a free bloke fffull 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.

I've followed this band since 1981 when I was 12, , I'm now 44 and still nothing comes close to this song and especially the solo, they have given me so much enjoyment, whenever they call it a day it will be a sad sad day for me for sure

Is it true that Eddie Van Halen has said Olga is a great guitar player? I think that's fucken cool man. The guy can play old country (coming round the mountain), classical, 50's rock and roll, blues, etc. Amongst the many great punk bands from the past, Olga has to be in the top ten.

Totally agree. Especially, for eg, when I hear some of Olgas solos, I wonder if he had classical training and studied Mozart for eg.(Listen to the solo in 'my wifes a psychopath')... The guys amazing.

Thanks for posting the lyrics. I never knew they had so much meaning, mostly because I was paying too much attn. to the outstanding guitar. W00t!

The Toy Dolls are the most underrated guitarists of all time. They can play any sheet music, with any sophisticated technique (pinch harmonics, hammering), and at a faster speed than just about anyone. Fantastic band, loved them since high school.

1:54 - 2:05 Getting technical, Ive have to say, the pinch harmonics Olga plays here are quite magnificant.
