Lyrics

Modern Way (Demo)

[Verse 1]

Watching the people get lairy

It's not very pretty I tell thee

Walking through town is quite scary

It's not very sensible either

A friend of a friend he got beaten

He looked the wrong way at a policeman

Would never have happened to Smeaton

An Old Leodensian

[Pre-Chorus]

La...la la la la la

Ah...la la la la la

[Chorus]

I predict a riot

I predict a riot

I predict a riot

I predict a riot

[Verse 2]

I tried to get to my taxi

The man in a tracksuit attacks me

He said that he saw it before me

And wants to get things a bit gory

Girls scrabble round with no clothes on

To borrow a pound for a condom

If it wasn't for chip fat they'd be frozen

They're not very sensible

[Pre-Chorus]

La...la la la la la

Ah...la la la la la

[Chorus]

I predict a riot

I predict a riot

I predict a riot

I predict a riot

[Bridge]

And if there's anybody left in here

That doesn't want to be out there

Ah...

[Verse 1 - Shortened]

Watching the people get lairy

It's not very pretty I tell thee

Walking through town is quite scary

It's not very sensible

[Pre-Chorus]

La...la la la la la

Ah...la la la la la

[Chorus]

I predict a riot

I predict a riot

I predict a riot

I predict a riot

[Bridge]

And if there's anybody left in here

That doesn't want to be out there

[Chorus]

I predict a riot

I predict a riot

I predict a riot

I predict a riot
