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)
