・Author’s personal opinion
I’ve only seen THE MODS gigs on video.
I’ve posted a YouTube video below so you can see for yourself.
The look in their eyes is completely different.
It’s like they’re really into it.
The moment I saw them, I thought, “Oh, they’re real.”
I’m definitely going to see THE MODS’ gig one day!

激しい雨が（HAGESHIE AMEGA）/Heavy rain People who run into dangerous lures People clinging to the unchanging everyday No one wants yesterday's news The TV just blares incomprehensibly Just drifting with nowhere to go Gypsies in the wall The heavy rain washes me The fierce wind carries me The fierce beat screams at me Everything's about to change The American dream, that's the story The eternal dream I had when I was a kid It's gone with the smell of oil Now I can't even find my dream anywhere Just drifting along with nowhere to go Gypsies in the walls The heavy rain washes me The fierce wind carries me The fierce beat screams at me Everything starts to change Let the rain come down harder and harder In this thirsty, empty town Let the fierce wind blow harder and harder Let the passing now be like a lullaby Just drifting along with nowhere to go Gypsies inside the walls The fierce rain washes over me The fierce wind carries me The fierce beat screams at me Everything starts to change
TWO PUNKS The wind howls through the empty city We're tumbling on the asphalt It's midnight, what should we do? Pushing and shoving each other into the subway We went to our usual dirty hut We sang, we sang till morning We shoved a slice of bread in our bellies Lying limp in the basement A knife glinting in my pocket. It's 6:00 in the morning and we need to find a house. We didn't really have any money. Come on, let's walk, the city's too bright. The city's too bright. Do something. I'll call Hummer Smith. A man comes in and gives us a ticket. "You got two months to decide. Hey boy," he says. But the destination doesn't suit us. Two punks, tied up Two punks They're watching us Two punks I can't escape My girl's got tears in her eyes "Hey darling, how long are we gonna do this?" That's what she said. I don't even know what that means. But we've already missed the train. We couldn't get on We couldn't get on We couldn't get on They wouldn't let us on Two punks tied up Two punks They're watching us Two punks We can't escape Two punks They're watching us Two punks tied up Two punks get away! Oh Hey! Two punks Two punks get away! Oh, punks come here
