Roller Disco Lyrics - Greatest Hits - Goldie Lookin Chain

Hey, the first time that I met my mate 

Was in the roller rink where I went to skate 

It was early in the decade around '83 

Back then Maskell's was the place to be 

Pay two quid for your entry fee 

I glide into the arena, ecstasy 

When you were seven you didn't realize 

Most of the adults were stoned out of their eyes 

Some jacked up on the seats around the edge 

Others were so fucked that they turned into veg 

I didn't care 'cos I made my pledge 

Rollskating at Maskell's got respect 

I used to listen to Public Enemy 

Erik B and Rakim and BVSMP 

But before that in 1983 

I'd go break dancing after my tea 

Down the Youth Club, eating the fruit pastels 

Saturday morning I'd go down to Maskell's 

It was my favorite place to go 

Dancing all day at the Roller Disco 

N-n-nineteen eighty three 

When Maskells is over it's out on your bike 

Doing bunny hops and wheelies if you like 

Nicking from the shop and comparing your Nike 

Dropping bricks onto trains was a delight 

Then I'd find a weak kid and have a fight 

Use your pocket money to buy a head band for the night 

From Fussels, Newport's health-sports store 

This is the stuff I used to do before 

Draw Paul Hardcastle, n-n-nineteen 

Was always played on the roller disco scene 

I would listen to the music 'til I went deaf 

Skating around backwards to Axel F 

Even back then I was still wearing gold 

They had an ice rink upstairs so I was told 

It was ecstasy going round a pillar 

Doing a special dance to Michael Jackson's 'Thriller' 

Y-y-you fukin' knows it 

N-n-nineteen eighty three 

How was the year son? 

N-n-nineteen eighty three 

Oh, eating cola cubes and watching Grange Hill 

Riding my chopper to the Chip shop in Pill 

I didn't know words like Cunny or Vag 

Getting my two hundred meters swimming badge 

Back then you were seven, I was eight 

I only just started to masturbate 

When I was in school the days went slow 

'Cos I was dreaming of a fuckin' roller disco 

F-f-fucking alright 

S-s-say first fuck 

I didn't smoke, I didn't drink booze 

I collected 'Star Wars' stickers and bubble gum tattoos 

Stuck 'em on my face 'cos it made me feel hard 

Then popped into the shop to buy some football cards 

Finished the album, Panini '83 

Get back home in time for the A-Team and tea 

Then watch Bullseye and Saint and Greavsie 

Go to bed, 'til tomorrow, see? 

I watch the A-Team and Airwolf too 

Before I found drugs and started sniffing glue 

Riding round the lane on my Grifter or my Chopper 

Even back then I was a hip hopper 

N-n-nineteen eighty three 

N-n-nineteen eighty three 

Y-y-you knows it 

F-f-fresh bra 

F-f-fresh bra 

Y-y-you knows it 

F-f-fresh bra 

N-n-nineteen eighty three 

G-G-Goldie Lookin Chain 

G-G-Goldie Lookin Chain 

N-n-nineteen eighty three 

N-n-nineteen eighty three 

Y-y-you knows it 

N-n-nineteen eighty three 

You knows it 

F-f-fresh bra
