(Ian Hunter)



I've been here before - this is where my fingers slipped into yours

This is where I trembled - when you touched mine

This is where the seeds we planted long ago

Grew up to tell us we're too old to know

 

I've been here before - this is where the novelty starts wearing off, wearing off, wearing off

And all the world's a stage - it's just that I ain't on it anymore, anymore

This ain't Eastenders, this ain't Eastenders, this ain't Eastenders, it's the real thing

What am I supposed to do now?

Crawl down the hole of monotony - monotony - monotony - monotony

 

The silence is deafening - the phone never rings

Won't somebody help me cos - I feel like I'm drowning

If I should sink - if I should swim

It doesn't really matter anymore - Dead man walkin'

 

I've been meaning to tell you for oh so long

Baby you got it right 'n I got it wrong

Now I know what ageism means - you gotta try a little harder

you gotta be a little stronger

 

I've been here before - this is where nothing happens anymore, anymore, anymore, 

Someone else's rage - someone else's pain

Someone else's ego - you will believe, you will believe

 

This ain't Eastenders, this ain't Eastenders, this ain't Eastenders, it's the real thing

What am I supposed to do now?

Sink to the bottom of obscurity, obscurity, obscurity, obscurity

 

It's a foregone conclusion - a fait accompli

It's all taken care of - you don't have to worry

If I should lose - If I should win

It doesn't really matter anymore - Dead man walkin'
