Correct audio here:

One of her first recordings. This is actually the B side, such a great song. written by Graham Gouldman (Mindbenders, 10cc fame). The A side "breakaway" was used in a short movie of the same name. The video features Toni's part (she plays the part of Mary a hooker) in the 1969 movie Easy Rider.

I'm 28, it's getting late
What have I got to do?
My time is going, my fears are growing,
My chances now are few
Lacquers, lotions, sprays and potions
Scented, unguent, mild and pungent
Lipstick, pancake, shadow for the eyes...
It's all been advertised
But... it's getting me nowhere

I'm 28, it's getting late
What have I got to do?
My time is going, my fears are growing
My chances now are few
Dress revealing, sex appealing
Fur and feather, suede and leather,
Naughty, haughty, sure to glamorize...
It's all been advertised
But... it's getting me nowhere

It's nice to be respectable,
Saintly, sweet and fair
But I don't want to finish off alone...
In a rocking chair

I'm 28, it's getting late
What have I left to do?

Sorry about the audio (again), WMG wrongly claim copyright for the audio. A & M records were acquired by Universal Music Co. and nothing to do with WMG, so I'm leaving it up here.
