Lời & hợp âm

[Intro 1]
[G]

[Verse 1]
[G]Mary's sellin' flowers on [D]a stall in EC1
[C]To night she'll be out
lookin' for some [G]fun
Her mate, Gerry's in the basement,
he [D]hasn't got a home
But [C]prides himself that he's got
most things done
[G]

[Verse 2]
Meanwhile, [D]I'm up on the roof
Waitin' [C]for the sun to [G]shine
I [D]haven't got an excuse
So, I'll [C]just keep my head [D]down

[Verse 3]
[G]David's in the city,
[D]he's just made a deal
And the [C]boys they want to
take his trousers [G]down
So they buy some little pills which
will [D]make poor David ill
And [C]they find themselves in some
club downtown
[G]

[Verse 4]
Meanwhile, [D]I got off the roof
'cause the [C]rain keeps pouring [G]down
And I [D]haven't got a clue
Why there's [C]faith in all these [D]clowns

[Verse 5]
[G]This is the [C]modern [D]world[C]
[G]This is the [C]modern world

[Interlude 1]
[D][C][G]

[Verse 6]
[G]Jim and Jane hit the grapevine 'cause
they're [D]lookin' for a party
[C]A secret number knows
where it can be [G]found
So they pick up Pete and Sheila,
then [D]they head down the M40
But [C]someone said they closed
the country down
[G]

[Verse 7]
Meanwhile,
I've [D]locked myself in the kitchen
Waitin' [C]for the storm to [G]pass
And [D]if there's too much damage
I think I'll [C]get the fuck out fast
[D]

[Verse 8]
[G]
This is [C]the modern [D]world[C]
[G]This is the [C]modern [D]world[C]
[G]This is [C]the modern [D]world[C]
[G]This is the [C]modern [D]world
[C]This is the modern world

[Outro 1]
[G]
