I Was a Mod Before You Was a Mod
Embracing Mod Culture: A Journey to Coolness
Lyrics
I can go anywhere anytime I choose
I have the freedom to go anywhere at any time.
I will never ever be a substitute
I won't be a replacement for anyone; I am unique.
Just set me free and then you'll watch me fly
If you set me free, you'll see me thrive and succeed.
And heaven knows I'm a lucky guy
Expressing gratitude for the fortunate life.
Drop some blues and away we go
Starting a journey, leaving behind troubles.
Taking a trip down to the coast
Heading to the coast, possibly for relaxation.
Oh yeah
Expression of enthusiasm or affirmation.
I was mod before you was a mod
Claiming to have been a mod before others.
I was mod before you was a mod
Reiteration of being a mod before others.
And you take me to a higher ground
You elevate me to a better place.
The coolest love that I have ever found
Describing a wonderful and stylish love.
Just set me free and then you watch me fly
Similar to line 3, emphasizing freedom.
And heaven knows I'm a lucky guy
Repeating gratitude for luck in life.
I look cool in my bowling shoes
Confidence in looking good, even in bowling shoes.
My Ben Sherman shirt is a classic shade of blue
Praising a classic blue Ben Sherman shirt.
'Cause I was a mod before you was a mod
Reasserting to have been a mod before others.
Yeah I was mod before you was a mod
Repetition of being a mod before others.
We're moving out on a cool dance floor
Heading to a dance floor with a stylish vibe.
You're taking me down to a distant shore
Going to an unknown, possibly exotic, place.
I'm grooving the night with Mr. Glove (?)
Grooving with Mr. Glove, a mysterious character.
He's telling me things that I didn't know
Mr. Glove imparts new knowledge or experiences.
'Cause I was mod before you was a mod
Reiterating being a mod before others.
Yeah I was mod before you was a mod
Once again, emphasizing being a mod before others.
'Cause I was mod before you was a mod
Reasserting to have been a mod before others.
Yeah I was mod before you was a mod
Repetition of being a mod before others.
And you take me to a higher ground
Reiterating the positive influence of someone.
The coolest love that I have ever found
Describing a love that is both cool and exceptional.
I'm taking a trip down to the coast
Going on a trip to the coast, possibly a recurring theme.
I'm digging the scenes that I dig the most
Enjoying the scenes that are most appealing.
And I was mod before you was a mod
Stating once again to have been a mod before others.
Yeah I was mod before you was a mod
Repetition of being a mod before others.
