"Modern Life" Original By Doug Payne (coomadoug) With Rick (bios36)

Hi Folks:
This song written by Mr.Doug Payne is a real classic here in Y.T. It´s performed live, just the 2 guitars and voices
Hope you like it!

Lyrics:

City traffic sitting still
I´m stuck I´m stressed I´m feeling ill
There must be something terribly wrong
I felt this way now for far too long

We all hate standing in a queue
We push and we shove everything we do
In a place where speed and greed are good
They´d sell their grandmother if they could
I know the best things in life are free
But they will not wait for me

And life is moving way too fast
I don´t get to be with my baby till last
But time is precious life is short
love shouldn´t be just an after thought
I know the best things in life are free
But they will not wait for me

And listen to what the children say
Remember how we were yesterday
Those crazy songs the clothes we wore
Let them bring it all back for us once more
Where the best things in life are free
Let them bring it all back on me

Let me hold you through the coldest night
I´ll watch you sleep ´till the morning light
Can we say we´re sorry when we´re wrong
Let us open up it will make ya strong
I know the best things in life are free
Let them bring it all back on me

I think i've just stumbled on a "Musical Goldmine!"

[17jollymen]

Nice effort - "but" is a boggy man word and should never be used in lyrics unless it's part of a catch phase.

[marycigarettes]
