Modern Times

Marriage is hard work
But it's worth it
When you've got someone wonderful like I do
Because love can be like waking up
Oh love for you and me
Is just counting down the days
And oh marriage is worth it
When you've got the right person
But how could you ever know a thing like that
How is that even supposed to look
And christ you've got children
And you've raised them to believe
In certainty
Life is unpredictable
But I am so predictable
Oh rain in babylon
And Los Angeles
The party album
Is here
And it's so much better than
I could ever have hoped it would be
Oh angels come dance me
Into the new year
But more importantly
Don't ever look the other way
Don't ever ignore me
Oh California
Here we come
And I'm thinking about
Fucking in a car
And shooting heroin
Or at least spending better time with
My parents
Because after all
I wanna be a children's heart surgeon
I know my way round a tune
But I wanna be a children's heart surgeon
Oh marraiage is hard work but it's worth it
When you've got someone who is
Hard work like she is
Oh I was only a boy
How could I know it was so wrong
And when you were pinging
You told me I had all of your head
And there was nothing I could do to fuck this up
Well I've never missed someone this much
Oh must we be lovers
I am a good husband
So run at the speed of light
And try to do good by your life
And try to be honest to yourself
If not to anybody else
And be good and grateful
That God gave you such a happy laugh
And you can have me anytime
I've tided the house now
You don't have to be afriad
And I swear
That waitress just smiled at me
Oh darling, was I not your main heartbreak this year?
It's not like I like to watch you suffer
It's just good to know
I can still make you feel
