"Modern Love" lyrics

Modern love
On your mobile phone
In a dark room
All alone
Texting someone
You used to know
Modern love
All alone

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

Temper tantrums
Tarantulas
Caught on a swing
You like to laugh
It's swinging back and forth
And you smoked it all
Modern pictures
Vintage tone

Modern love hold me
Modern love told me
Modern love throws me
Back in to the world again

Take me back
To the past
Where we strolled on
Cobbled esplanades
And the fun house mirrors
All fade to black
There were bulb lights flashin'
We paid in cash
Into space
And back again
The old ones lose
The children win
And I see you smiling
With your Cheshire grin
On a tree branch swinging
In the wind
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

Modern love holds me
Modern love shows me
Modern love throws me
Back in to the world again
