[Verse 1]
In the year when your bicycle broke, you were crying in the yard
But the world was a glorious game, new adventures stole your heart
[Pre-Chorus]
It will come, it will go
But you hold on to what you know
[Chorus]
You play your part, oh-ho
You play your part, oh-ho
You only fall for what you really want to
[Verse 2]
In the year when the future was lost you were fighting in the class
Headed west with your wits and snarl, left your parents in the past
'78 was the year you explored, tore your clothes and shaved your head
Joined a band with a broken down van, thought your life was really swell
[Pre-Chorus]
It will come, it will go
But you hold on to what you know
[Chorus]
You play your part, oh-ho
You play your part, oh-ho
You only fall for what you really want to, uh-huh
You only full for what you really want to
[Bridge]
Save it all, save it all
Save it and wipe your tears away
Save it all, save it all
Save it and wipe those tears
[Pre-Chorus]
It has gone, it has gone
But you hold on to what you know
[Chorus]
You play your part, oh-ho
You play your part, oh-ho
You only fall for what you really want to, uh-huh
You play your part, oh-ho
You only fall for what you really
Fall for what you really
Fall for what you really want to
