Modern Man
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
He's too straight and you can wait.
Modern man.
I've only got time for a few, and not you.
Modern man.
I'll push you hard,
I can't know you.
Modern man.
Cause then we'd have to be friends, and that just won't do.
Modern man, Modern man. Living tomorrow is everyone's sorrow.
Modern man's daydreams have turned into nightmares.
It's for you that I sing to share what I feel Modern Man The things I need in this world Modern Man If you don't like it, you can leave me alone Modern man, Modern man cause when I talk to you I want to hang up the phone Modern man, Modern man Living tomorrow is everyone's sorrow.
Modern man's daydreams have turned into nightmares.
He's too straight and you can wait.
Modern man. I've only got time for a few, and not you.
Modern man.
I'll push you hard, I can't know you.
Modern man.
Cause then we'd have to be friends, and that just won't do.
Modern man, Modern man.
