Shoulder Pads 1# Lyrics - Fall

All these fads 

It's shoulder pads 

On New Year's Dawn 

To my surprise 

All the Macca lads stayed at home 

Picking antiques and clothes 

Clothes reflect with green bits 

[Name on the corner of my stub toes.] 

My powers 

Have been spent half-useless 

My senses 

alive at party 

Was embarrassed but stayed with them 

Walked, at shoulder, down the street, ridicule 

You couldn't tell Lou Reed from Doug Yule 

Suppressed big romance 

It was like being back at school 

My powers [mumble] 

My powers [mumble] 

Win populace, internal defeat 

Gramma had a coup d'etat 

Realize what they'd always wanted 

Knew I was right all along 

It wasn't then a Beatles song 

Superhero in harlequin kecks 

Dim-wit lecture, half read 

Visiplex singers ten years dead 

Was clowned 

(Bitter man) 

Shoulder pads 

(Spawned) 

Then my powers did return....
