The Only Mod in Manchester
I hadn't been smiling for ages
I didn't play a guitar, wrote no words on the pages
Working all night for low wages
It's not why I came here
It's the end of the world
Then 'round comes Friday night
They've dragged me out
To give the tunnel a light
And standing by my side
There's this girl
And she acted like she thought she was
The only mod in Manchester
She seemed to believe she was
The only one around
And I couldn't believe my eyes
A true original in style
Now we're holding up the bar
Lets see who you really are
Her style frozen in time
She's five minutes down the Stockport line
And feelings could get hurt
By her wartime coat
And her Fred Perry polo shirt
And she acted like she thought she was
The only mod in Manchester
She seemed to believe she was
The only one around
And I couldn't believe my eyes
A true original in style
Now we're holding up the bar
Lets see who you really are
She hadn't been smiling for ages
But she plays guitar and writes words on pages too
I didn't play a guitar, wrote no words on the pages
Working all night for low wages
It's not why I came here
It's the end of the world
Then 'round comes Friday night
They've dragged me out
To give the tunnel a light
And standing by my side
There's this girl
And she acted like she thought she was
The only mod in Manchester
She seemed to believe she was
The only one around
And I couldn't believe my eyes
A true original in style
Now we're holding up the bar
Lets see who you really are
Her style frozen in time
She's five minutes down the Stockport line
And feelings could get hurt
By her wartime coat
And her Fred Perry polo shirt
And she acted like she thought she was
The only mod in Manchester
She seemed to believe she was
The only one around
And I couldn't believe my eyes
A true original in style
Now we're holding up the bar
Lets see who you really are
She hadn't been smiling for ages
But she plays guitar and writes words on pages too
