Walk with me
The futures at hand
Here with us
Here where we stand
We both know
The power of pain
We get back up and start it again
New hope no place for tears
Leave behind those frozen years
Come with me and we'll go dreaming
 
aaaah, the days when a coke used to cost 35 cents, diet coke was unheard of, and tab was just introduced, and the commercials elle mcpherson did for tab, and 50 cents used to buy you enough fish and chips to feed you and two mates, and half of the neighbourhood seagulls.
 
Some of the things I remember (maybe not all "typically 80s") in no particular order:
Atari 2600 + catridges
Henderson Kids

I can't believe no has mention 'Son's & Daughters' the pre neighbors home grown trash TV, and there's 'A Country Practice' as well. But my favourite thing back in the good ole' days was that everyone rode a BMX (Remember Nicole Kidman in BMX Bandits) and the only people that had 'Racers' Where either professional riders or sissies. Oh and I can't tyhe days when most lollies where 1c with some of the more exoctic types being 2c. Ahh the memories.
