The “prettiest” song on the album. While the lyrics seem almost saccharine, the discordant instrumentals, particularly the harmonica make the song into an ironic picture of modern life. Note how all descriptions of the emotional experiences of this “modern girl” are all very general, two-dimensional...
[Verse 1]
My baby loves me, I'm so happy
Happy makes me a modern girl
Took my money and bought a TV
TV brings me closer to the world
[Chorus]
My whole life
Was like a picture of a sunny day
My whole life
Was like a picture of a sunny day
[Verse 2]
My baby loves me, I'm so hungry
Hunger makes me a modern girl
Took my money and bought a donut
The hole's the size of this entire world
[Chorus]
My whole life
Looks like a picture of a sunny day
My whole life
Looked like a picture of a sunny day
[Verse 3]
My baby loves me, I'm so angry
Anger makes me a modern girl
Took my money, I couldn't buy nothin'
I'm sick of this brave new world
[Outro]
My whole life
Is like a picture of a sunny day
My whole life
Is like a picture of a sunny day
My whole life
Is like a picture of a sunny day
My whole life
Is like a picture of a sunny day
