The Kooks - Modern Days Lyrics

Yeah

Something's tellin' me I got to turn away
From the life I had, I shouldn't hesitate
Walk like an animal into the world of glass
Seems so fragile, yeah, nothin' was built to last

All the lovers you had, all the lives that you led mean nothin'
It's tricklin' down and I can't hear a sound they make

In the modern days (we live for these modern days)
(Oh babe, we live for these modern days)
In the modern days (we live for these modern days)
(Oh babe, we live for these modern days)
(We live for these modern days)
(Oh babe we live for these modern days)

This is bigger than the fear of atom bombs
The truth is on sale at your local restaurant
The time for sellin' out has been and gone and died
Music lover in a whirlwind not your time

Afraid of the shadows I send
I know I gotta get up to the ceilin' again (in the modern days)
Put me out of my misery now
I won't slip away
But I know what I want you say
And the atoms in my heart all pray together
I'll hold you forever

In the modern days (we live for these modern days)
(Oh babe, we live for these modern days)
In the modern days (we live for these modern days)
(Oh babe, we live for these modern days)
In the modern days (we live for these modern days)
(Oh babe, we live for these modern days)
In the modern days (we live for these modern days)
(Oh babe, we live for these modern days)

Way up in my room, telling all my secrets

In the modern days

In the modern days (we live for these modern days)
(Oh babe, we live for these modern days)
In the modern days (we live for these modern days)
(Oh babe, we live for these modern days)
