Modern love
On your mobile phone
In a dark room
All alone
Texting someone
You used to know
Modern love
All alone
[Verse 2]
Modern touch
How you've grown
Simple wishes
A small fish bone
Stuck in your throat
You can cope with it
Modern love
Modern soul
[Verse 3]
Temper tantrums
Tarantulas
Caught on a string
You like to laugh
It's swinging back n forth
And you smoke it all
Modern pictures
Vintage tone
Modern love hold me
Modern love told me
Modern love throws me back in to the world again
[Verse 4]
Take me back
To the past
Whеre we strolled on cobblеd esplanades
And the fun house mirrors
Fade to black
There were bulb lights flashin'
We paid in cash
In to space
And back again
The old ones lose
The children win
And I see you smiling
Your Cheshire grin
On a tree branch swinging
In the wind
[Verse 5]
Whistle softly
Old songs
Of love
You learned about
The turtle dove
And the glove makers
All join in song
About modern thoughts
And modern love
[Outro]
Modern love holds me
Modern love shows me
Modern love throws me back in to the world again
