Eighties Fan
Exploring Adolescent Longings and Self-Discovery through 'Eighties Fan'
Lyrics
You know it really won't surprise me
You won't surprise me much
If you're a wreck by the age of fourteen
You might be emotionally disturbed at a very young age
The way you look
Commenting on your appearance
The way you look is fine
Your appearance is satisfactory
So often color-coordinated
Regularly matching colors in your clothing
Your sister she's an eighties fan
Your sister is fond of the '80s era
That's all right
It's acceptable
Have I told you so is mine
I am also a fan of the '80s era
You say your life will be the death of you
You believe your life will cause your demise
Tell me, do you wash your hair in honeydew
Asking if you use honeydew to wash your hair
And long for all of them to fall in love with you
Desire for everyone to fall in love with you
But they never do
But they never reciprocate
Drinking vodka on the fire
Drinking vodka near a fire
Your mother has a watchful eye
Your mother is watchful
So look out kid
Be cautious, your mother is aware
She's onto you this time
She's alert this time
Run away to a bed and breakfast
Escape to a small hotel
Console yourself with the Reader's Digest
Find solace in simple pleasures
Ringing yellow pages on the moon
Futile attempts to reach someone distant or unattainable
You say your life will be the death of you
You believe your life will cause your demise
Tell me, do you wash your hair in honeydew
Asking if you use honeydew to wash your hair
And long for all of them to fall in love with you
Desire for everyone to fall in love with you
But they never do
But they never reciprocate
No they never do
Confirmation that they never reciprocate
I'm gonna tell you something good about yourself
Going to give a positive comment about you
I'll say it now and I'll never say it about no one else
It will be exclusive and unique
I'm gonna tell you something good about yourself
Intending to give a positive comment about you
I'll say it now and I'll never say it about no one else
It will be exclusive and unique
About no one else
This comment is about no one else
