Because I found the lyrics as provided by mr hibbert, and theres a bit not in the online version.... (marked up in bold here):

We bought it to help with your homework
We bought it to help with your homework
And the household accounts
If your dad ever works it all out

lunchtimes in the library writing down the pokes and peeks
copying an access code, get a taste for home taping
Fetishists of map-making
Rubber keys and rotten leads, rand and run and load and screens
Then five minutes fingers crossed hoping not to witness the terror
of R: Tape Loading Error

We bought it to help with your homework
We bought it to help with your homework
And the household accounts
If your dad ever works it all out

zx spectrum 81, dragon vic and oric1
commodore 64, amstrad and an acorn electorn
cheaper BBC micro
jet set willy, sabre wulf, lords of midnight, underwurlde
dark star, transam, ant attak
and of course, manic miner
the hobbit and knight lore and elite

It made a generation who can code
A bubble before proper consoles, who all know
That the games you get today, well they may be very flash
But there'll never beat the thrill
Of getting through Jetpac

Hey Hey, 16K, What does that get you these days?
You need more than that for a letter
Old Skool Ram Paks are much better.
Hey Hey, 16K, What does that get you these days?
You need more than that for a letter
Old Skool Ram Paks are much better.

Personal Computer Games, Your Sinclair, 16K

Dixons and bother Saturday staff with loops that never end

For n=0 to 2
Those were the days
Next N

I came across that on the Various Internets, but I'm not sure if it's meant to be there.

Matrix, that's the full version from the album Say It With Words. The version used on Rob Manuel's animation omits the third verse (Personal Computer Games...)

How do I know this? I have the complete back catalogue of the Validators sitting here...
