Lyrics Moods For Moderns - Elvis Costello, The Attractions

Moods For Moderns

Moods for moderns
Moods for moderns
Moods for moderns
Moods for moderns
I get hit looking for a miss
I never thought that it would come to this
Moods for moderns
Moods for moderns
Moods for moderns
Moods for moderns
Though we may never be the same again
I am so proud that you’ve been taken in vain
What if none of your dreams come true?
I can never run from you
There’s never been a how-do-you-do
There’s never been an ending
Soon, you’ll belong to someone else
And I will be your stranger, just pretending
Moods for moderns
Memory lingers
I let you into
Foreign fingers
Moods for moderns
Moods for moderns
Moods for moderns
Moods for moderns
I never thought that I would see this day
I never thought that I would give you away
What if none of your dreams come true?
I can never run from you
There’s never been a how-do-you-do
There’s never been an ending
Soon, you’ll belong to someone else
And I will be your stranger, just pretending
Moods for moderns
Let them break us
Strong and sudden
Foreign fingers
