I Was A Mod Before You Was A

Television Personalities I Was A Mod Before You Was A Lyrics
1.Evan Doesn't Ring Me Anymore

I remember the night that we first met
Such a night no one will ever forget
The night the walls came down in Berlin
I found all the foreign love I thought I'd never have
I made a new friend and I was ever so glad
We really took to each other straight away
And I sure do wish that Evan would ring me tonight
I'm on a new number but I'm sure I could be found
And Evan doesn't ring me anymore
And Evan doesn't ring me anymore
Evan doesn't ring me anymore
Evan if you listen you know I'm here
You're someone very special I hold you dear
Anytime you need a friend I'll be around
You've seen me at my best and I guess my worst
It's really not so easy to put it in verse
But just call me up and you know I'll be around
I sure do wish that Evan would ring me tonight
I'm on a new number but I'm sure I could be found
And Evan doesn't ring me anymore
Evan doesn't ring me anymore
Evan doesn't ring me anymore
I remember the night that we first met
Such a night no one will ever forget
The night the walls came down in Berlin
I found all the foreign love that I never had
I made a new friend and I was ever so glad
We really took to each other straight away
I sure do wish that Evan would ring me tonight
I'm on a new number but I'm sure I could be found
I'm feeling down 'cause Evan doesn't ring me anymore
Evan doesn't ring me anymore
Evan doesn't ring me anymore
Evan, you're real cool fun to be out with (?)
Just call me up
We could have a way out


2.Things Have Changed Since I Was A Girl

Things have changed since I was a girl
I used to be pretty in gingham (?) and pearls
Things have changed since I was a girl
And life was cool and one big social world
I like to go out in my sister's dresses
Very very proud of my long blond tresses
Do you really think you can understand
What it's like to be stuck in the body of a man
Things have changed since I was a girl
I used to pretty when I was daddy's girl
Things have changed since I was a girl
I used to be so pretty in my gingham (?) and pearls
Used to stare for hours at my reflection
Father thought I was beyond redemption
Only my sister can understand
What it's like to be stuck in the body of a man
Things have changed since I was a girl
I hate my hands, I hate my head
I hate my body, I hate my legs
I hate my arms, I hate my head
If I fell apart tomorrow I wouldn't really care
'Cause things have changed since I was a girl
Things have changed since I was a girl
Since I was a girl


3.Haunted

I'm haunted by your eyes
And I'm haunted by your face
And I'm haunted by your smile
And I'm haunted by your taste
By the ghost outside your door
By the lovers gone before
By the shadows on the wall
And I'm haunted by your fears
I'm haunted by my tears
A love that used to show
A love that used to glow
By the ghost outside your door
By the lovers gone before
Everything comes back to haunt these rooms
I'm haunted by your tears
I'm haunted by my face
And I'm haunted by your eyes
I'm haunted by your smile
And I'm haunted by your tears
And I'm haunted by your fears
By the ghost outside your door
By the lovers gone before
Yes everything comes back to haunt these rooms
The places that we used to go
The people that we used to know
Everything comes back to haunt these rooms
I'm haunted by the past
And I'm haunted by my fate


4.I Can See My Whole World Crashing Down

I can feel my whole world crashing down upon my head
Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday's looking dull boring
So I think I'll dig myself a nice big hole
I can feel my whole world crashing down upon my skull
Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday's looking dull
From where I stood I really thought the fences were quite small
Now I realize that they were very very tall
Oh mother, tell me more
I can feel my whole world crashing down around my knees
And maybe we could try a peace of grief
And I thought you'd let it get up off my knees
From where I stood I really thought the fences were quite small
But now I know the truth is they are very very tall
Oh mother, tell me more
I can feel this whole world baking cheesecake off my soul
Thursday, Friday , weekend's pretty bad
So I think I'll stay at home and just be sad


5.I Was A Mod Before You Was A Mod

I can go anywhere anytime I choose
I will never ever be a substitute
Just set me free and then you'll watch me fly
And heaven knows I'm a lucky guy
Drop some blues and away we go
Taking a trip down to the coast
Oh yeah
I was mod before you was a mod
I was mod before you was a mod
And you take me to a higher ground
The coolest love that I have ever found
Just set me free and then you watch me fly
And heaven knows I'm a lucky guy
I look cool in my bowling shoes
My Ben Sherman shirt is a classic shade of blue
'Cause I was a mod before you was a mod
Yeah I was mod before you was a mod
We're moving out on a cool dance floor
You're taking me down to a distant shore
I'm grooving the night with Mr. Glove (?)
He's telling me things that I didn't know
'Cause I was mod before you was a mod
Yeah I was mod before you was a mod
'Cause I was mod before you was a mod
Yeah I was mod before you was a mod
And you take me to a higher ground
The coolest love that I have ever found
I'm taking a trip down to the coast
I'm digging the scenes that I dig the most
And I was mod before you was a mod
Yeah I was mod before you was a mod


6.A Stranger To Myself

I'm a danger to myself
And I won't deny it's true
And in the stillness of the night
I feel so troubled through and through
And I know I have to change
But it's easier said than done
And after all nobody said that life had to be fun
But if I close my mind
To the world outside
But I can't close my mind to the pain inside
But if I close my mind
I can close my eyes

To all the pain I feel
But I'm a stranger to myself
And to the ones that I hold dear
And I feel so helpless every time I fall
And I know you find it hard
Trying to get inside my head
Don't you think sometimes
It's just as bad for me
'Cause I'm a stranger to myself and I always will be
I'm a danger to myself
I'm a stranger to myself


7.Little Woody Allen

Little Woody Allen sits alone in a playground, but he doesn't
mind
The other children play their childish games
He's in his own world, but he's doing fine
All the silly boys are playing with their toys
But Woody's got a typewriter and it's his pride and joy
Little Woody Allen's very shy, he wouldn't say boo, boo to a
goose
But Woody was a very simply child
He wouldn't eat meat nor salads or sweets
One little boy wants to be a fireman
Another little boy wants to fight for Uncle Sam
Not little Woody Allen
Little Woody doesn't dream of rock'n'roll and cars
He wants to be in movies and meet his favourite stars
Little Woody Allen's very bright
He doesn't sleep much, or not much at night
Little Woody Allen got a girl, Mia Farrow, the girl of my dream
All the silly boys are playing with their toys
But Woody's got a typewriter and it's his pride and joy
Little Woody doesn't dream of rock'n'roll and cars
He wants to be in movies and meet his favourite stars


8.A Long Time Gone

I'm sorry for all the things I said
The stupid notions in my head
I'm sorry for all the things I've done
I'm sorry for all the pain and grief
I'm sorry for wasting all your time
I'm sorry for taking (what) wasn't mine
I'm sorry you ever saw my face
And now I'm standing in disgrace
I'm sorry I tried to steal your pride
I'm sorry for all the endless lies
And I haven't got nine lives
So I think I've had my time
I'm gonna be a long time gone
Maybe you might miss me
I'm gonna be a long time gone
And I don't know what I'll leave behind
I'm sorry for screwing up your head
Sleeping in someone else's bed
I'm sorry for being so fucking weak
Ashamed that you could be so strong
But I can't promise I will change
'Cause I don't know if I can change
And I'm still scared of fucking up
Maybe I've had my share of luck
I'm sorry for all the shits I've done
But I haven't got a gun
And I haven't got nine lives
So I think I've had my time
And I'm gonna be a long time gone
Baby you might miss me
I'm gonna be a long time gone
And I don't know what I'm leaving behind
You always hurt the ones you leave behind
I'm gonna be a long time gone


9.As John Belushi Said

Once upon a time
I was manically impressed
I spent my days in bed
Medication always fed my head
But now I know
It's going to be one of those days
Sunshine was promised
But here comes the wind and the rain
Against
I spent my days in bed
Medication fed my head
But now I know that I'll get all the sleep I need
When I am dead
As John Belushi said
And I just know
It's going to be one of those nights
The bloke next door plays REM so bloody loud
And I can't stand Michael Stipes
His voice annoys
Spent my days in bed
Medication fed my head
But now I know that I'll get all the sleep I need
When I am dead
As John Belushi said
As John Belushi said
Medication fed my head
Once upon a time
When I was manically impressed
They say I rang my neighbour's bell and poured baked beans over
his head
But I just know
It's going to be one of those days
Sunshine was promised
But here comes the wind and the rain
Again
As John Belushi said


10.Something Just Flew Over My Head

She was such a perfect stranger
She said here put this in a pocket safe
And then she handed me a four leaf clover
And you know it really made my day
And something just flew over my head
I don't know what it was
I never saw its face
Something just flew over my head
I don't know what it was
You know you can always share my bed
But take some good advice, don't let it go to your head
Hey girl, you wouldn't recognize me in the morning
Here comes a winter's tale, you'd better take good warning
And something just flew over my head
I don't know what it was
I never saw its face
And something just flew over my head
I don't know what it was
And I wouldn't be surprised
If I opened up my eyes
And found that I was dreaming
And found that you were scheming
Think I had it once
But let it slip away
Should have kept those pennies safe for a rainy day


11.Everything She Touches Turns To Gold

When I was a child the world was very very big and very strange
Now nothing seems to have changed since I was a child
Nervous, shy and insecure I stumbled into adulthood and it hurt
It hurt so very much, more than I could feel
But mother didn't want me so she gave me to my sister like a toy
A frightened little boy, big sister's little toy
But my eldest sister was the apple of my father's eye she did no
wrong
With her I did belong, she gave all her love to me
I could never forgive you, but I'd never forget you
I could never forgive you although you did me wrong
My sister felt my father's hand, my father's belt you know I
never did
And in the strangest way they make me feel unloved
Catholic school the pain the guilt my story is no different to
tell
Every young man's hell there just waiting for the bell
And confidence came fleetingly and left as soon the same way
that it came
Slowly out the way and left me deep in shame
I wish I could love myself and tell myself there's more to life
than this
I held it my in my hands, I had it in my hands
I could never forgive you, I could never forget you
I could never forgive you although you did me wrong
My parents said I wasn't planned, nine and eleven years between
sisters and me
They nearly gave me away, I think they did too, anyway
I never thought I would forgive
They put her in a cage, I was seven years of age
And it could never be this when she let me stay up late she let
me stay
She cuddled me and said 'You'll be too big for this one day.'
'You'll be too big for this one day.'
Everything she touches turns to gold
May I be so bold, let me know just how it feels
May I be so bold, let me know just how it feels
Everything she touches turns to gold
May I be so bold, let me know just how it feels
