Modern World The Pogues

[Verse 1]
Mary's selling flowers on a stall in EC1
Tonight she'll be out looking for some fun
Her mate Gerry's in the basement, he hasn't got a home
But prides himself that he's got most things done

[Pre-Chorus 1]
Meanwhile I'm up on the roof
Waiting for the sun to shine
I haven't got an excuse
So I'll just keep my head down

[Verse 2]
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

[Pre-Chorus 2]
Meanwhile, I got off the roof
'Cause the rain keeps pouring down
And I haven't got a clue
Why there's faith in all these clowns

[Chorus]
This is the modern world
This is the modern world
