Adrian Perkins – Dead Man Walkin’ (Eastenders)

Adrian Perkins – Dead Man Walkin’ (Eastenders)

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’
