lyrics

Love in the modern sense
Taking a careful view
No going beyond the faint and the fond
Nothing to misconstrue

Love in the modern sense
Cupid’s for days of old
The need to relate can’t be left up to fate
Wait and the fire grows cold

Love in the modern sense
Matching the perfect pair
It’s an organised thing no runaway fling
That ends on a ring and a prayer

Chance is no fine thing
The heart and the soul
Keep time as the pulse rate increases
It’s a life on the line thing
And if I lose control
Who’s going to pick up the pieces

We can negotiate
Use our experience
Who’ll cook and who’ll clean up
Please sign this pre-nup
Don’t seek any recompense
This is love in the modern sense
