Fontaines D.C. - In The Modern World lyrics
Fontaines D.C. [Grian Chatten, Conor Curley, Conor Deegan III, Tom Coll, Carlos O'Connell] Dublin, Ireland 🇮🇪
The song is crafted in the best traditions of Arcade Fire and other soul-soothing indie bands of the 2010s. It makes you want to step out into the city with your headphones on and walk all night long.
[Fontaines D.C. - In The Modern World lyrics]
I feel alive
In the city
That you like
And wait for the day
To go dreaming
Right by
Uh-huh-huh-huh
Seems so hard not to be free
When you walk
Right beside me
In the modern world (What?)
In the modern world
I don't feel anything
In the modern world
And I don't feel bad, Charlene
Kissing on the corner (Yeah?)
Wait for just a minute (What?)
Come away with me and Sal
I promise you'll be in it
I don't feel bad
I feel alive
In the city
You despise
And wait for the day
When you come
Riding on by
Uh-huh-huh-huh
Seems so hard just to be
If it matters
You complete me
Yeah
In the modern world (What?)
In the modern world
I don't feel anything
In the modern world
I don't feel bad, Charlene
Kissing on the corner (Yeah?)
Wait for just a minute (What?)
Come away with me and Sal
I promise you'll be in it
I don't feel bad
In the modern world (What?)
In the modern world
I don't feel... no, I don't feel
I don't feel bad
As long as I've known
As long as I've known
As long as I've known
There's no feeling to drawYou may be the reason
But I am the law
The law
As long as I've known
There's no feeling to draw
You may be the reason
But I am the law
The law
I feel alive
In the city
That you like
In the modern world (What?)
In the modern world
I don't feel anything
In the modern world
And I don't feel bad, Charlene
Kissing on the corner (Yeah?)
Wait for just a minute (What?)
Come away with me and Sal
I promise you'll be in it
So don't feel bad
In the modern world (What?)
In the modern world
I don't feel
No I don't feel
(As long as I've known)
I don't feel bad
(As long as I've known)
Charlene
As long as I've known (Yeah?)
There's no feeling to draw (What?)
You may be the reason
But I am the law
I don't feel bad
In the city
That you like

To go dreaming
