First performance at the catalyst club, may 1997.

We live in a modern world
With communication between boy and girl
Oh yeah
But under the stars above
We just don’t recognize
The power of love is free

We gotta change
We gotta change
We gotta change how we feel
We gotta change
We gotta change

When anger has closed the door
My eyes go blind and i can see inside
I hurt you and you hurt me
Which crimes of love in the first degree
Oh yeah

We gotta change
We gotta change
We gotta change how we feel
We gotta change
We gotta change

We live in a modern world
With communication between boy and girl
Oh yeah
But when there are clouds above
We just don’t recognise
The power of love is free

We gotta change
We gotta change
We gotta change how we feel
We gotta change
We gotta change

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

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

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

Meanwhile i got off the roof
‘cos the rain keeps pouring down
And i haven’t got a clue
Why there’s faith in all these clowns

This is the modern world…

Jim and jane hit the grapevine
‘cos they’re looking for a party
A secret number knows where it can be found
So they pick up pete and sheila
And they head down the m40
But someone said they closed the country down

Meanwhile i’ve locked myself in the kitchen
Waiting for the storm to pass
And if there’s too much damage
I think i’ll get the fuck out fast

This is the modern world…

The alarm goes off, another monday morning
Just one more time you wake up in this mess
And baby it scares you but you catch yourself
You do whatever you do to face the test

I know you feel alone in this great big world machine
It’s crazy, but maybe there’s a soul somewhere out there
Who’s just like you now what are you waiting for
Baby don’t mourn what might have been
Here’s the only world we’re living in

This is the modern world, this is the modern world
This is the modern world, and this is all it’s going to be
Living in the modern world

Yeah, the telephone rings, another faceless caller
You’re not a soul you’re just a number
You’re looking at families living on the street
Where mama can’t buy her baby enough to eat

We all feel alone, in this great big world machine
But baby, just maybe listen to your heart
I don’t know just what you’re waiting for
Cause baby here’s just where you begin
In the only world we’re living in

This is the modern world, this is the modern world
This is the modern world, and this is all it’s going to be,
Living in the modern world

In the shadows of the night come the friends of fantasy dancing forward toward
The dawn, wrapped in coats of vanity. in the closets in the home hang the toasts
Of days gone by, breaking every haunted scheme confusing thoughts with fantasy.
This is the modern world, this is the modern world, this is the modern world.

In the backrooms where they wait, keeping time so patiently, playing cards and
Casting lots, sit the last of judgement’s [all]? in their confusion to deceive,
They miss the point so handily, filling every secret need. they succeed perfectly.
This is the modern world, this is the modern world, this is the modern world.
