Up on a hill is where we begin This little story a long time ago Stop to pretend, stop pretending It seems this game is simply never-ending In the sun, sun having fun It's in my blood I just can't help it Don't want you to say, "No" Let me go, oh let me g-g-g-g-g-g-go Leavin' just in time Stay there for a while Rolling in the ocean Trying to catch her eye Work hard and say it's easy Do it just to please me Tomorrow it is different So I'll pretend, I'll pretend I'm leaving Our fears are different here We train in A-V-A I wish you hadn't stayed My vision's clearer now, but I'm unafraid Flying overseas, no time to feel the breeze Too many varieties Well, in the sun, sun having fun It's in my blood I just can't help it Don't want you here right now Let me go, uh Oh, let me g-g-g-g-g-g-go Leaving just in time Stay there for a while Rolling in the ocean Trying to catch her eye Work hard and say it's easy Do it just to please me Tomorrow it is different So this is why I'm leaving

O EP “The Modern Age”, lançado no início de 2001 pela Rough Trade na Inglaterra, contém as três primeiras músicas escritas por Julian Casablancas para o The Strokes.
Essa gravação marcou a primeira vez que a banda trabalhou em estúdio, apresentando pequenas diferenças nas letras e melodias em relação às versões que viriam a ser divulgadas ao público.
O lançamento do EP impulsionou a popularidade do grupo na mídia especializada europeia, onde foram descritos como “salvadores do rock”.
O sucesso imediato do EP desencadeou uma das maiores disputas entre gravadoras por um artista nos anos recentes.
