She's So Modern
La-la-la-la
La-la-la-la
La-la-la-la
(She's so) 20th century
(She's so) 1970s
(She knows) the right things to say
(She's got) the right clothes to wear
'Cause she's a modern girl (oh, yeah)
A modern girl, yeah (g-g-g-girl)
A modern girl, now (oh, yeah)
And Suzie is a jewel
She flashes when she smiles
She's cunning and she's clever
She's got the lowdown in her files
Magenta is the best
You know, she really makes me laugh
She's always tryin' her impressions
She wants to be a photograph,
La-la-la-la

She's got the lowdown in her files
Magenta is the best

She's always tryin' her impressions
She wants to be a photograph,
I gotta say it now

She's so modern
And Jean confided to me
She's Mona Lisa's biggest fan
She drew a mustache on her face
She's always seen her as a man
And Charlie ain't no Nazi
She likes to wear her leather boots
'Cause it's exciting for the veterans
And it's a tonic for the troops
(She's so) 20th century

b/w Lying Again
Beating everybody at their favourite game
But in the end nobody wins no
Here they go let's pretend the rules have changed but the
Names the same
And in the end nobody wins no
Do you think they don't know what they're doing
Do you think they don't know who they're fooling
When I was a boy and I was told that heaven was hot and hell was cold
If I told lies I'd freeze my soul but it didn't seem to matter
Do you think they don't know what they're doing
Do you think they don't know who they're fooling
There they go lying again
They want it just as much as us
And in the end nobody wins no
There they go lying again
They pulled the wool and we all fell in
And in the end nobody wins no
There they go lying again (you're telling lies)
There they go lying again (you're telling lies)
But in the end nobody wins no
Here they go let's pretend the rules have changed but the
Names the same
And in the end nobody wins no
Do you think they don't know what they're doing
Do you think they don't know who they're fooling
When I was a boy and I was told that heaven was hot and hell was cold
If I told lies I'd freeze my soul but it didn't seem to matter
Do you think they don't know what they're doing
Do you think they don't know who they're fooling
There they go lying again
They want it just as much as us
And in the end nobody wins no
There they go lying again
They pulled the wool and we all fell in
And in the end nobody wins no
There they go lying again (you're telling lies)
There they go lying again (you're telling lies)
