Sometimes I feel so happy
Sometimes I feel so good
Sometimes I feel like I'm on top of the world,
just like a modern man should
And it was fun in
New
York and we chased each
other through the snow
I wore a silver chain and black jeans, darling, and he,
he was the last to know
Now news comes in from all around
I try to keep my mind clear
Of the problems in these times
Ah, we wish they'd disappear
But we're now in
New
York, yeah
London and
Paris, too
But we're only modern men
There's not much we can do
And it was fun in
Bethnal
Green, yeah I had nowhere else to go
We could sneak in through the back door
While they played a song on the radio
We ran through
Whitechapel I felt the sudden warm glow
I wore a silver chain and
black jeans down in the rain
He was the last to know
In the marketplace of
Brescia, I kissed the summer sun
An d the gods of iniquity,
salute the distance I've come
And it was fun up in the mountains,
where time passes so slow
She took my silver chain and black jeans, darling,
and he, he was the last to know
He was the last to know
He was the last to know
It was the last time
