Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
You know it's alright I promise you tonight All you gotta do is Choose Life Got a little crush I just can't get enough of that stuff It's such a rush 1980 Me Got a little crush I just can't get enough of that stuff It's such a rush 1980 Me
Frosted Lipstick Parachute Pants Doc Martins Dead Can Dance Culture Club The Go Go's Pretty In Pink PacMan Asteroids Miami Vice Too early for Vanilla Ice Crimpin' The Poodle Perm And Blond Highlights
You know it's alright I promise you tonight All you gotta say is Have a nice day
I wish that I could be eleven again That E.T was my friend You know that life was so simple then Times have changed Never be the same The memory remains And the melody inside my heart
You know it's alright No matter how it goes All you gotta do is just say no
Got a little crush I just can't get enough of that stuff It's such a rush 1980 Me Got a little crush I just can't get enough of that stuff It's such a rush 1980 Me Dance baby You know you're gonna have such a good time Welcome to 1980 Me Dance baby You know it's gonna be alright Welcome to 1980 Me

In 1980 Darren was only 8 years old. Born with a angelic voice and a blessing to hear him sing. He has aged handsomely and his voice is still flawless. 2023 and he is back doing what he does BEST - SING! Welcome back Australia’s finest!
