the bolshoi - modern man - live at the town and country club, london, 1986 lyrics

(spoken)
this is rock music
its great, it’s like being famous
there’s lots of people and, it’s really great
but this song now, about uh, about a man
he’s modern, it’s called modern man
if you wanted you could read around a bit
there’s so many people here we can’t really speak, yknow

(song begins)
say h+llo to the modern man
who does the best, well, that he can
and it’s not hard to criticize

he wants to get in the football team
and have a laugh and yell and scream
wеll that’s no crime
it can be fun sometimеs

and oh he comes for you while you’re asleep
oh you can’t say no, it makes you weak

say h+llo to the modern man
he got nowhere to go, a cigarette in his hand
sits on a plane
he swings from a tree
he never had to work like you and me, no
he used to care about important things
like doing his hair and wearing rings
but that was just a phase, and he grew out of it

now he says, “hey, take a look at me
i got my new boots on down by the sea”
well that’s no crime, he does it all the time

and oh he comes for you while you’re asleep
oh you can’t say no, it makes you weak

say h+llo to the modern man
he got nowhere to go, a cigarette in his hand
sits on a plane, he swings in a tree
he never had to work like you and me, no

the times i dream of days of old
when men were strong and knights were bold
modern man came down among us
gave us truth, eleven plus
and then he sends us all the drama
left us there in our pajamas
trying hard to see the sun
and live a life back on the run

it’s true
he comes for you while you’re asleep
yes he does, yes he does
oh you can’t say no, it makes you weak

say h+llo to the modern man
he got nowhere to go, a cigarette in his hand
sits on a plane, he swings in a tree
he never had to work like you and me, no

say h+llo to the modern man
who does the best, well, that he can
and it’s not hard to criticize
in fact, it can be fun sometimes

(spoken)
thanks very much!
this more fun now because everyone’s getting a bit more involved now. somebody take my jacket off now, to prove that i’m in business. we’re called the bolshoi and uh, we’re not really very famous yet. but as you can see, we will be very soon. so now we’ll do another song now. it’s called um, family farm. it’s all about being on a farm with your family and stuff. pretty boring
