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 & Liszt'
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

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 so boring, it's a new era
