Lyrics:

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
