Modern Day Addiction Lyrics & Tabs by Clare Bowditch and the New Slang
Modern Day Addiction
guitar chords lyrics
”you will feel better when you have the operation,
somehow sparkling fresh and new
have the operation!”
We live in the suburbs
Where people take their addictions indoors
Work real hard (“such nice clean floors”)
Make it look strong
But when nobody’s looking all the ladies eat with tongs
The primitive brain is telling all the other parts that “they’re insane!
There’s one little fix and it’s gonna fix it up,
gonna fix it good this time, time, time”
Oh Tele-tele vision
Sugar on the cake
And the petrol in the car
Lots of make up
Sugar on the cake
And the petrol in the car
Lots of make up
Slap it on thick, just like we’re sixteen
If we’re all Princesses, who’s gonna be the Queen?
I like The Wine. “It’s Friday Night, one wine? Why not?”
Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday night
”One wine. Why not?
Hey I only drink at night. I only drink at night.
Well I mostly drink at night and I never drink alone.
Well I sometimes drink alone, when there’s no-one home.
And there’s no-one home, I don’t share my house.
Who are you to judge me Willis? What you talkin’ ‘bout?
Hey!?”
Tele-tele vision
Sugar on the cake
And the petrol in the car
Lots of make up
Slap it on thick, just like we’re sixteen
If we’re all Princesses, who’s gonna be the Queen?
Of all the people, places, faces, none of it has changed
Even though the skirts are shorter and the hair is rearranged
And it doesn’t really matter if you’re rich, or you’re poor
If you’re dancing in this circle, it’s been danced in before
”I love you, I love you, I love you so badly,
my little computer, you never really had me.
It’s been fun man, it’s been fun man,
but you never really held me like you wanna let me in”.
Tele-tele vision
Sugar on the cake
And the petrol in the car
Lots of make up
Slap it on thick, just like we’re sixteen
If we’re all Princesses, who’s gonna be the Queen?
”you will feel better when you have the operation,
somehow sparkling fresh and new
have the operation!”
