Lyrics
80s has-been I started out, long time ago Ready to conquer the world Was in a band in ´85 And it was good, we were told Fame was just waiting for me I was so young, rocking so hard Playing all over the land My attitude was good and strong Music and looks hand in hand Girls they were screaming for me Now I am old, - too fat and too grey And girls are not looking my way My hair is gone, but my guitar still rocks Rock will never die, I´m an 80´s has-been And still today, I wear the clothes Keep my appearances high Still rocking on and plays the gig Like it was still ´85 Will keep it on ´till I die

A wonderful 80's rock-out Knud-Eric, the turnaround "whoa" choruses are a brilliant touch! Killer riffs, epic drums, just the right amount of synth, and the best and funniest lyrics I've heard in years ;) Made me smile on so many different levels :)

Wow, awesome intro leads into a fanatic rocker prevalent of a 80s genre. Excellent guitar and bass work - cool vocals reminded me some of Roger Daltrey. Superb production!
