See him coming down the street
Can he catch your eye
Will he stop you dead
Or will he pa** you by
Is he looking for a fight
Could it be the way you're dressed
Is he hungry for love
Or is he merely self-obsessed
He's a Modern Boy, always one step in front of you He's a Modern Boy
You're never quite sure what he's gonna do. He's a Modern Boy. Modern Boy.
See the tattoos on his arms
The chains around his wrist
Is it you he's after
Are you on his list
Check your wallet steady your feet
He's getting awful near
Stare at him back and be prepared
But don't show any fear
'Coz he's a Modern Boy, always one step in front of you He's a Modern Boy You're never quite sure what he's gonna do. He's a Modern Boy. Modern Boy.
How come you feel paranoia, creeping up your spine
Each time you're face with something new
He could be staring at you with nothing on his mind
Or does he want something to do - it is you?
All those horror stories that you've heard - will they come alive
From the back of your mind to help you survive
But as he pa**es by you realise
He's a Chameleon of style
A traitor to the week before
The immortal juvenile
He's a Modern Boy, always one step in front of you He's a Modern Boy
And you're never quite sure what he's gonna do. He's a Modern Boy. Modern Boy
