lyrics

I remember when I heard Pop Muzik.
Just What I Needed and My Sharona
Then Devo’s Whip It, and Dolby’s Science.
and Numan’s Replicas it took me over.
MTV was a brand new stage
The Buggles put us in the plastic age.
The Human League and then Duran Duran.
And synthesizers they just took me over.

Chorus:
New wave of music
New wave or dancing
New wave of machines
I am a New Wave Boy.

New wave of fashion
New wave of freedom
New wave of thinking
I am a New Wave Boy.

Verse 2
The Thompson Twins they were telling lies.
Men without Hats and Naked Eyes
A Flock of Seagulls to Suburban Lawns
And Depeche Mode they just took me over.
Visage, The Normal and Los Microwaves
Soft Cell’s Non-Stop Exotic Cabaret
Japan, Berlin, Blancmange, and Talking Heads
All of the drum machines just took me over

Chorus:
New wave of music
New wave or dancing
New wave of machines
I am a New Wave Boy.

New wave of fashion
New wave of freedom
New wave of thinking
I am a New Wave Boy.

Bridge
Raiding the record store. Look for the most obscure. We always wanted more.
Saving for quite a while for a new hair style that would drive them wild.
Those were the days, those were the days.

Verse 3
B-52’s Talk Talk, and Polyrock
Adam and the Antz, The Plastics, Ultravox
Pete Shelley, Sparks, Landscape, and Wall of Voodoo
Kraftwerk’s Computer World just took me over
Yazoo, The Fixx , Re-Flex, and ABC
Eurythmics, Howard Jones, and OMD
Missing Persons, OingoBoingo, Kim Wilde
The Art of Noise they just took me over

Chorus:
New wave of music
New wave or dancing
New wave of machines
I am a New Wave Boy.

New wave of fashion
New wave of freedom
New wave of thinking
I am a New Wave Boy.
