Lyrics
Quite a surprise when passers-by
Found her still and stoney-eyed
The cops implied it was suicide
They bought the husband's alibi
There was a Remington revolver
In the cup of her hand
He likes to think he's a modern man
A complication taken into his own hands
He did what most don't think they can
He executed everything according to plan
They say she died on Summerside
But no-one heard the gunshot fly
And only I saw him go by
In a car with no headlights
The medical examination
Removed any doubt
He likes to think he's a modern man
A complication suddenly got out of hand
He did what most don't think they can
Guess it's a shame it didn't go according to plan
He's a modern man (he took it into his own hands)
He's a modern man (it didn't go according to plan)
Sirens ablaze, the police raced
From the station to his place
Kicked down the door, searched every floor
But he wasn't at home anymore
I like to think I'm a modern man (I took it into my own hands)
I like to think I'm a modern man (I'm driving as fast as I can)
I'm a modern man (I took it into my own hands)
I'm a modern man (he's in the back of my van)
