Ian Hunter - Dead Man Walkin' (East Enders) Lyrics
I've been here before - this is where my fingers slipped into yoursThis is where I trembled - when you touched mineThis is where the seeds we planted long agoGrew up to tell us we're too old to knowI've been here before - this is where the novelty starts wearing off, wearing off, wearing offAnd all the world's a stage - it's just that I ain't on it anymore, anymoreThis ain't Eastenders, this ain't Eastenders, this ain't Eastenders, it's the real thingWhat am I supposed to do now?Crawl down the hole of monotony - monotony - monotony - monotonyThe silence is deafening - the phone never ringsWon't somebody help me cos - I feel like I'm drowningIf I should sink - if I should swimIt doesn't really matter anymore - Dead man walkin'I've been meaning to tell you for oh so longBaby you got it right 'n I got it wrongNow I know what ageism means - you gotta try a little harderyou gotta be a little strongerI've been here before - this is where nothing happens anymore, anymore, anymore,Someone else's rage - someone else's painSomeone else's ego - you will believe, you will believeThis ain't Eastenders, this ain't Eastenders, this ain't Eastenders, it's the real thingWhat am I supposed to do now?Sink to the bottom of obscurity, obscurity, obscurity, obscurityIt's a foregone conclusion - a fait accompliIt's all taken care of - you don't have to worryIf I should lose - If I should winIt doesn't really matter anymore - Dead man walkin'
