Sinister: Modern Rock Song chords/lyrics
Just A Modern Rock Song C# C# Emma tried to run away G# I followed her across the city F# She went out to the easter house [?] C# Cause she liked the sound of it She didn't have a single penny She stuck a finger in the air She's trying to flag down an aeroplane I suppose she needs a holiday I put my arm around her waist She put me on the ground with judo She didn't recognise my face She wasn't even looking Laura's feeling just ideal Her horoscope was nearly perfect She's thinking of something to do Cause she is the birthday girl She went out to the edge of town Where she saw me lying in the park She took Emma by the hand They've got a lot in common So I leave them to do what they want And I leave them to do what they need to I'll go and play with words and pictures I'll admit I'm feeling strange instrumental verse x4 I'm not as sad as Dostoyevsky And I'm not as clever as Mark Twain And I'll only buy a book for the way it looks And then I'll stick it on the shelf again Well I could tell you what I'm thinking But it never seems to do you good It's beyond me what a girl can see [?] when I'm riding buses This is just a modern rock song This is just a sorry lament We're four boys in a [???] We're not terrific but we're competent Me I'm full of good intentions Richie's into rock and roll Stuart's staying in and he thinks it's a sin If he has to leave the house at all This is just a modern rock song This is just a tender affair Count three, four, we start to slow Because a song has got to stop somewhere [?] = lyrics I'm particularly mystified by or unable to hear. Can anyone help? cheers Dazza ************ Tick, tick, tick, the machine continued. Time was passing. The audience was wandering, dispersing. Only the tick tick of the gramophone held them together. ************ ----------------------------------------------------------------------- .

As far as I can hear, that particular line is: 'We're four boys in our corduroys,' So there you go. James. ----------------------------------------------------------------------- .

"Laura's feeling just ideal her horoscope was nearly perfect she's thinking of something to do because she is the birthday girl" How does everyone interpret these lines - is it that her horoscope said "you will be thinking of something to do because it is your birthday", hence taking a pseudo-cynical swipe at the banality of horoscopes, which provoke ill-founded (but nonetheless valid and heart-warming) feelings of idealness? That's what I like to think anyway, but then I've been up all hours writing commentaries on French poetry.... (yes, I am another student, but I won't apologise for the fact) Mark (ooh look, a new boy on the list...) ----------------------------------------------------------------------- .
