Modesty Blaise Lyrics

Goin' over magazines
From a bygone age
Found a paper heroine
Ridin' page to page
In between now an' then
I drifted away
Dusty sun on a comic strip
Made me wanna stay

You were in a story from day to day
With a word to say
Today, like yesterday

Modeste Blaise, modesty, blaze away
Like yesterday, say anyway
Why did you go away
Modeste Blaise, you were the rave
With all your escapades of yesterday
Why did you go away

Only came to pass the time
See what I could find
If I came to look around
Destiny was kind
Papers were everywhere
Old New York Times
An' some dog-eared penthouse, I
Didn't pay 'em any mind

You were in a story from day to day
With a word to say
Today, like yesterday

Modeste Blaise, modesty, blaze away
Like yesterday, say anyway
Why did you go away
Modeste Blaise, you were the rave
With all your escapades of yesterday
Why did you go away

Intermezzo

The story gets stronger, here we go again
Pictures an' bubbles they have a way
Uh, they have a way

Modeste Blaise, modesty, blaze away
Like yesterday, say anyway
Why did you go away
Modeste Blaise, you were the rave
With all your escapades of yesterday
Why did you go away
