Modern Love

David Bowie and his people don't want me to embed his video,
so you can click here to open it in a new window on youtube. =)

And by the way, David Bowie ... should you or your people happen to wonder back over here to my Ocho-rific little world (after you notice the spike in views on your 27ish year old song!!) .. please note that it's a total pain in the arse to not be able to embed a video. Good Grief!! Natalie Merchant is the worst!! She just wears me out with her anti-online-socialness. For the love of Peter, Paul and Mary ... it's MARKETING, you dingle-dwarfs!!
It's for the benefit of you!!

The Last Town Chorus covered the song and it was featured on the television series Grey's Anatomy and The Learning Channel's
ad campaign for Diana: Last Day of a Princess.
MY favorite recording of this song is actually the cover done by The Last Town Chorus.
I don't want to go out
I want to stay in
Get things done
I want to stay in
Get things done
I catch a paper boy
But things don't really change
I'm standing in the wind
But I never wave bye-bye
But I try, I try
There's no sign of life
It's just the power to charm
I'm lying in the rain
But I never wave bye-bye
But I try, I try
Never gonna fall for
Modern love - walks beside me
Modern love - walks on by
Modern love - gets me to the church on time
Church on time - terrifies me
Church on time - makes me party
Church on time - puts my trust in god and man
God and man - no confessions
God and man - no religion
God and man - don't believe in modern love
It's not really work
It's just the power to charm
I'm still standing in the wind
But I never wave bye bye
But I try, I try
Never gonna fall for
Modern love - walks beside me
Modern love - walks on by
Modern love - gets me to the church on time
Church on time - terrifies me
Church on time - makes me party
Church on time - puts my trust in god and man
God and man - no confessions
God and man - no religion
God and man - don't believe in modern love
Modern love - walks beside me
Modern love - walks on by
Modern love - gets me to the church on time
Church on time - terrifies me
Church on time - makes me party
Church on time - puts my trust in god and man
God and man - no confessions
God and man - no religion
God and man - I don't believe in modern love
Modern love, Modern love, Modern love, Modern love, Modern love, Modern love
Modern love, Modern love, Modern love, Modern love, Modern love, Modern love
Modern love - Modern love, walks beside me
Modern love - Modern love, walks on by
Modern love - Modern love, walks beside me
Modern love - Modern love, walks on by
Never gonna fall for
Never gonna fall for
