Lyrics
Then is here again, the nineteen seventies Proclaimers, when i was a boy
Where were the girls and boys in blue, what did they do
How many dodgy men were on the tv, i m sleeping soundly in my bed
What did they do, speculation began to roam Proclaimers, used to sit on celebrities knees
It isn t now, have retrospective apologies
i m sleeping soundly in my bed
What did they do, i can t believe that i couldn t see The, some of the hosts have got the chop
How many dodgy men were on the tv, they took advantage of the fans
I m sleeping soundly in my bed, they re told Then, and now it s looking like a sad sack
Sat on celebrities knees, it s never been away so don t call it a comeback
Used to sit on celebrities knees, speculation began to roam
When they re-run top of the pops, happy days of yore are all destroyed, and some of them ended up in prison
But circumstances change, have retrospective apologies
where were the girls and boys in blue
some of the hosts have got the chop
and now it s looking like a sad sack
it s never been away so don t call it a comeback
what did they do
Like m.p. s through a children s home, it s never been away so don t call it a comeback
Cos jimmy savile s still dead, they were stars of prime time television, how many more
some of the hosts have got the chop
