In the Modern World Lyrics
[Verse 1: Grian Chatten]
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
[Chorus: Grian Chatten & Conor Deegan]
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
[Verse 2: Grian Chatten, Grian Chatten & Conor Deegan]
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
[Chorus: Grian Chatten & Conor Deegan]
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
[Verse 3: Grian Chatten, Grian Chatten & Conor Deegan]
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...
[Bridge: Grian Chatten]
I feel alive
In the city
That you like
[Chorus: Grian Chatten & Conor Deegan]
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
[Outro: Grian Chatten, Conor Deegan, Grian Chatten & Conor Deegan]
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

Tom Coll:
Grian wrote this song when he was in LA. He was really inspired by Lana Del Rey and stuff like that. Hollywood and the glitz and the glamour, but it’s actually this decrepit place. It’s that whole idea of faded glamour.
