The Specials (Dawning Of A) New Era Lyrics

This is the dawning of a new era
This is the dawning of a new era
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 and Lizst
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
This is the dawning of a new era
We climbed the stairs to the 14th floor
The key wouldn't fit the door.
This is the dawning of a new era
She said she had a beautiful flat
We had to sleep on a mat.
This is the dawning of a new era
Woke up and thought this ain't exactly heaven
Oh s___, 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 of a new era.
