Epoch Lyrics by The Vanity Project (UK)

We Never Should Have Come Here

2023

[Verse 1]
Sounds of the motor car drift into life
He dreams of cars and his Serbian wife
While she whispers in his ear "you're something obscene"
But he's no time for that, his record's squeaky clean
Since the time he drove champagne, crying in the marketplace
Blood rushed to his face, trousers round his ankles
He wept as his clarity was sucked away
[Pre-Chorus 1]
Cos you're taking what we had
It was better back then better back whеn
Better be takеn by the hand
As we dance
[Chorus 1]
To the beat of our epoch
To the beat of our epoch
To the beat of our epoch
To the beat of our epoch
[Verse 2]
Give me your credit cards, give me your vows
I feel so comfortable, she smiles as she bows
But it's okay to spend when the love's at an end
And he's f--king in Russia so he may as well be dead
She takes off her eyebrows, they slide down her throat
And into her boat, you're something obscene
But she can't let go, she's tied to her dream
[Pre-Chorus 2]
Cos you're taking what we had
It was better back then better back when
Better be taken by the hand
As we dance
Cos you're taking what we had
It was better back then better back when
Better be taken by the hand
As we dance
[Chorus 2]
To the beat of our epoch
To the beat of our epoch
To the beat of our epoch
I can't keep up with the beat
To the beat of our epoch
My mum says I've two left feet
To the beat of our epoch
I can't keep up with the beat
To the beat of our epoch
My mum says I've two left feet
[Post-Chorus 1]
Epoch, la bella epoch, la bella epoch, la la la
Epoch, la bella epoch, la bella epoch, la la la
Epoch, la bella epoch, la bella epoch, la la la
Epoch, la bella epoch, la bella epoch
[Bridge]
John stared at the freckles on Grace's forearm and thought I feel misled
Carrie stared at the back of George's four-day-old newspaper and thought I feel so misled
Jenna sighed at the tinny little elevator tones and said she felt so misled
Ron looked at the figure in the high street cashpoint and thought I feel so misled
(Read all the small print before you buy)
Agnes grimaced at her less-than-tepid soup
(Live in small print until you die)
And drove her fork into Gerald's leg
(Wonder why do you even try)
She upturned the table and sprayed her cohort in a putrid green hue
(Stiffen your lip, straighten your tie)
I've had enough of this shit, she bellowed
I owe nothing to anyone
(Epoch I feel so misled, oh Epoch I feel so misled)
I'll be buried with my fortune
And I'll have my gazpacho hot
(Epoch I feel so misled, oh Epoch I feel so misled)
[Outro]
So if you're ever feeling sad or scared or lonely, don't worry
Have a nice cup of tea
Dial the number at the bottom of your screen
And say these words along with Flora and me
Epoch you're taking what we had
And making it something so much worse
And you're giving it to us
With cream and strawberries
Epoch you're taking what we had
And making it something so much worse
And you're giving it to us
With cream and strawberries
Epoch you're taking what we had
And making it something so much worse
And you're giving it to us
With cream and strawberries
Epoch you're taking what we had
And making it something so much worse
And you're giving it to us
With cream and strawberries
