Moods For Moderns

Lyrics

Moods for moderns, moods for moderns

Moods for moderns, moods for moderns

I get hit looking for a miss

I never thought that it would come to this

Moods for moderns, moods for moderns

Moods for moderns, moods for moderns

Though we may never be the same again

I am so proud that you've been taken in vain

What if none of your dreams come true?

I can never run from you

There's never been a how d'you do

There's never been an ending

Soon you'll belong to someone else

And I will be your stranger just pretending

Moods for moderns

Memory lingers

I let you into

Foreign fingers

Moods for moderns, moods for moderns

Moods for moderns, moods for moderns

I never thought that I would see this day

I never thought that I would give you away

What if none of your dreams come true?

I can never run from you

There's never been a how d'you do

There's never been an ending

Soon you'll belong to someone else

And I will be your stranger just pretending

Moods for moderns

Let them break us

Strong and sudden

Foreign fingers
