(dawning Of A) New Era Lyrics - The Specials - Specials

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 & Lisst' 

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 

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
