Camera Obscura - Modern Girl lyrics

He wakes and says "Hello
" turns on the breakfast show
She fixes coffee while he takes a shower
"Hey, that was great, " he said
"Wish we could stay in bed
But, I got to be at work
In less than an hour"
She manages a smile as he walks out the door
She's a modern girl who's been
Though this movie before

She don't build her world
'round no single man
But she's gettin' by doin' what she can
She is free to be what she wants to be
And all what she wants to be is a modern girl

It looks like rain again
She takes a train again
She's on her way again through London town
Where she peels a tangerine
Flicks through a magazine
Until it's time to leave her
Dreams on the underground
She walks to the office like everyone else
An independent lady, takin' care of herself

She don't build her world
'round no single man
But she's gettin' by doin' what she can
She is free to be what she wants to be
And all what she wants to be is a modern girl

Na na na na na, na na na na na
Na na na na na she's a modern girl
Na na na na na, na na na na na
Na na na na na she's a modern girl

She's been dreaming 'bout it all day long
As soon as she's home
It's him on the telephone
He asks her to dinner, she says
"I'm not free tonight I'm gonna stay at home
And watch my TV"

I don't build my world 'round no single man
I am gettin' by doin' what I can
I am free to be what I want to be
And all what I want to be is a modern girl

Na na na na na, na na na na na
Na na na na na she's a modern girl
Na na na na na, na na na na na
Na na na na na she's a modern girl
