The Courteeners – Modern Love lyrics

[Verse 1] We got style and we got grace We run wild and never dance alone In this town, she’s fucking famous But this town will never be her home The sun sets on a promise kept I try [Chorus] But I don’t need this modern love This modern love Oh it always lets me down (Oh-oh-oh-oh-oh, oh-oh-oh-oh-oh) This modern love This modern love Oh it always lets me down (Oh-oh-oh-oh-oh, oh-oh-oh-oh-oh) [Verse 2] The popularity trap strikes again You don’t need these fools cause you’re incroyable (Which is French for incredible) We found solace at The Star and Garter No malice, I can feel you coming alive Ignore the warning signs And we try [Chorus] But I don’t need this modern love This modern love Oh it always lets me down (Oh-oh-oh-oh-oh, oh-oh-oh-oh-oh) This modern love This modern love Oh it always lets me down It lets me down [Bridge] Alright A bare mattress, a lockless door Two Withington hearts on a pique assiette floor Give me back those awkward exchanges The fumbles In bathtubs When we were just strangers We talk about your graduation And the realisation that we might not be together forever and ever, Amen [Verse 3] Wide-eyed and up all night This could be good But I don't want to shy away I hear them say, "Romance is dead" And I don't need this [Chorus] Modern love This modern love Oh it always, it lets me down (Oh-oh-oh-oh-oh, oh-oh-oh-oh-oh) Oh, it lets me down This modern love This modern love Oh it always, it lets me down It lets me down It lets me down It lets me down Alright (Oh-oh-oh-oh-oh, oh-oh-oh-oh-oh) Explain Request ×
