Howard Jones' song Things Can Only Get Better was hugely popular and something we heard regularly on the radio. It ended up being our subdivision swim team theme song.</p><p>This song is just very upbeat, catchy and one that just sticks with you. It's one that we played constantly via cassette if it wasn't already playing on the radio. I have so many summer memories with this song that I wish I could go back and experience again.</p><p>[Verse]<br>We're not scared to lose it all<br>Security throw through the wall<br>Future dreams we have to realize<br>A thousand skeptic hands<br>Won't keep us from the things we plan<br>Unless we're clinging to the things we prize</p><p>[Verse 2]<br>And do you feel scared, I do<br>But I won't stop and falter<br>And if we threw it all away<br>Things can only get better</p><p>[Chorus]<br>Whoa whoa whoa-oh-oh whoa-whoa whoa-oh-oh<br>(Whoa whoa whoa-oh-oh whoa-whoa whoa-oh-oh)<br>Whoa whoa whoa-oh-oh whoa-whoa whoa-oh-oh<br>(Whoa whoa whoa-oh-oh whoa-whoa whoa-oh-oh)</p><p><a href="https://infosec.exchange/tags/CrucialTracks" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>CrucialTracks</span></a> <a href="https://infosec.exchange/tags/Music" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Music</span></a> <a href="https://infosec.exchange/tags/80sMusic" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>80sMusic</span></a> <a href="https://infosec.exchange/tags/HowardJones" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>HowardJones</span></a> <a href="https://infosec.exchange/tags/ThingsCanOnlyGetBetter" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>ThingsCanOnlyGetBetter</span></a> <a href="https://infosec.exchange/tags/ThemeSongs" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>ThemeSongs</span></a> <a href="https://infosec.exchange/tags/Summer" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Summer</span></a> <a href="https://infosec.exchange/tags/SwimTeam" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>SwimTeam</span></a></p><p>View Cliff Wade's Crucial Tracks profile (<a href="https://app.crucialtracks.org/profile/cliff" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" translate="no" target="_blank"><span class="invisible">https://</span><span class="ellipsis">app.crucialtracks.org/profile/</span><span class="invisible">cliff</span></a>)</p>

Scottish Lass<p>For LOLs went searching for the morning of the 1997 election where Prescott, Kinnock and Mandleson got down with the kids with D:Ream Things Can Only Get Better on an infinite loop.

Flipboard Culture Desk<p>It was an inauspicious start to the U.K. Conservative Party's election campaign as Prime Minister Rishi Sunak announced that Britain will head to the polls on July 4. Heavy rain fell as he spoke, and D:Ream's "Things Can Only Get Better," best remembered as the Labour Party's theme song for its 1997 election victory, blared from a member of the public's speakers at the gates of Downing Street. Deadline has this writeup on what it calls the "farcical scenes."</p><p><a href="https://flip.it/z.3w94" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" translate="no" target="_blank"><span class="invisible">https://</span><span class="">flip.it/z.3w94</span><span class="invisible"></span></a></p><p><a href="https://flipboard.social/tags/UKElection" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>UKElection</span></a> <a href="https://flipboard.social/tags/RishiSunak" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>RishiSunak</span></a> <a href="https://flipboard.social/tags/ThingsCanOnlyGetBetter" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>ThingsCanOnlyGetBetter</span></a> <a href="https://flipboard.social/tags/UnitedKingdom" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>UnitedKingdom</span></a> <a href="https://flipboard.social/tags/GeneralElection" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>GeneralElection</span></a></p>
