"End Of An Era Feeling" lyrics

We used to live life without a care
But now dysphoria rains down everywhere
My friends
It's that end of an era feeling again
We used to dance in the summer rain
It's not the same round our way anymore
The clouds are in our eyes
What happened to the blue suburban skies

Aah, it's that end of an era feeling

We rode to Lime Street when we were kids, but
The Mersey sound doesn't flow like it once did
What's that you hear?
It's that end of an era feeling Fab Gear
David is somewhere lost in the stars
And Sid has taken well to living on Mars
In a mushroom
Leaving Pink down here instead
Is psychedelia really dead?

Aah, it's that end of an era feeling

Lift us up, pull us out
From this world of bad foreboding
Elevate, emancipate
I don't like what I see unfolding here

End of an era feeling has shook me to the core
I wanna hold your hand just like in 64
I never used to feel love, now I feel fine
Running scared at '69

Those numbers together seem so fine

End of the road, something is coming
It's like a joke, That isn't funny
The peace and quiet
Is more like a riot now
The village vicar, used to enquire
Now he's more inclined, to open fire
Your Dad and Mum
Are sitting on top of a bomb
A bomb, a time bomb

Rock and roll over and done - 1961
Commies in Korea and Cuba too - 1962
Christine Keeler, Please Please Me - 1963
The British Invasion, the Vietnam War - 1964
On the Eve of Destruction with A Ticket to Ride - 1965
Good Vibrations on the 'Frisco Bridge - 1966
Jimi's amp, goes up to eleven - 1967
Martin Luther King and The Planet of the Apes - 1968
A giant leap, for all mankind - 1969...
And it's gone

Lift us up, pull us out
We're in pain and we need some healing
Elevate, save us now
From this end of an era feeling
Lift us up, pull us out
From this world of bad foreboding
Elevate, emancipate
I don't like what I see unfolding
