This is the dawning.. of a new era! x2
I met a girl from area three
She told me that she worked in a chicken factory
This is the dawning... of a new era!
By two o'clock we were 'Brahms & Liszt'
I had to walk her home through area six
This is the dawning... of a new era!
Sticks and stones may break my bones
In area six they throw bottles and bricks and kicks
--SLOW BREAKDOWN! PLAY VERSE SLOWED DOWN X2!--
Solo
This is the dawning... of a new era!
I climbed the stairs to the fourteenth floor
......................The key won't fit the door
This is the dawning... of a new era!
She said she had a beautiful flat
We had to sleep on the mat
This is the dawning... of a new era!
Woke up and thought "This ain't exactly heaven"
Oh shit, this is area seven
This is the dawning... of a new era!
This is the dawning... of a new era!
This is the dawning... of a new era!
This is the dawning... it's a new..
'Era! Era! Era! Era!..'
