Time is moving on, there’s change in the air
The dawning of a new age
You can sense it blowing in on the wind
The turning of a new page
It’s affecting the band
This isn’t what I had planned
I thought we would go on indefinitely
Forever best in the land
The Sixties end
Optimism replaced with a frown
Cos it’s all come crashing down
There’s a feeling The Bewildered are through
They simply have run their course
Seemingly the boys are growing apart
And losing their driving force
They spend their time bickering
They want to do their own thing
Disillusionment is now creeping in
They are disintegrating
A decade done
And the ideals that had jewelled its crown
They have all come crashing down
Artistic differences
Egos clash
Arguing and fighting
Over cash
They defined and symbolise their time
A Sixties phenomenon
So sublime
It’s therefore natural you’d suppose
The world’s greatest band
Should bow out
With the decade
At its close
They can’t rekindle that enthusiasm
Of the early days
Different interests now outweigh common goals
They pull in opposite ways
A hiatus is here
A new era is near
A breakup seems to be inevitable
This will be an infamous year
The rot sets in
Now there’s that unmistakable sound
Of the dream crashing down
Crashing down
