Standard (EADGBE)

Intro

Arabic Riff

B

BMary's selling flowers

 On a F♯stall in EC1

 ToEnight she'll be out looking for some Bfun

BHer mate Gerry's in the basement

 He F♯hasn't got a home

 But Eprides himself that he's got most things Bdone

 Meanwhile F♯I'm up on the roof

 Waiting Efor the sun to Bshine

 I F♯haven't got an excuse

 So I'll Ejust keep my head F♯down

David's in the city

He's just made a deal

And the boys they want to take his trousers down

So they buy some little pills

Which will make poor David ill

And the find themselves in some club downtown

Meanwhile I got off the roof

'Cos the rain keeps pouring down

And I haven't got a clue

Why there's faith in all these clowns

BThis is the Emodern F♯world.E..

BThis is the Emodern F♯world E

Arabic riff

Jim and Jane hit the grapevine

'Cos they're looking for a party

A secret number knows where it can be found

So they pick up Pete and Sheila

And they head down the M40

But someone said they closed the country down

Meanwhile I've locked myself in the kitchen

Waiting for the storm to pass

And if there's too much damage

I think I'll get the fuck out fast

This is the modern world
