The Modern Age - Rough Trade Version

Up on a hill is where we begin
This little story, a long time ago

Start to pretend, stop pretending
It seems this game is simply never-ending

In the sun, sun having fun, it's in my blood
I just can't help it
Don't want you to see now, let me go
Oh, let me g-g-g-g-g-g-go

Leavin' just in time
Stay there for a while
Rolling in the ocean
Trying to catch her eye
Work hard and say it's easy
Do it just to please me
Tomorrow will be different
So I pretend, I pretend I'm leaving

I feel so different now, we trained at A-V-A
I wish you hadn't stayed, my vision's clearer now but I'm unafraid

Flying overseas, no time to feel the breeze
I took too many varieties

Well, in the sun, sun, having fun, it's in my blood
I just can't help it
Don't want you here right now, let me go, woo!
Darling, let me g-g-g-g-g-g-g-go

Leaving just in time, stay there for a while
Rolling in the ocean, trying to catch her eye
Work hard and say it's easy, do it just to please me
Tomorrow will be different, yeah this is why I'm leaving
