Modern Love Affair

Who was it called this romance!
The fool with feathers in his head
A river to be sold down, the book that we both read
An empty lounge in some hotel
A fighter's thoughts before the bell
The film we first held hands at
A song that told us "No Regrets"
We asked for Mother's handouts
You ask and we shall get
The money saved and money spent
The early morning arguments
Is this a modern love affair!
Is this a modern love affair!
Now if I shrug my shoulders
And only pass the time of day
It's more than wine and roses could ever say
Though I might sulk and you may brood, just thank
God it's me and you
Is this a modern love affair!
Is this a modern love affair!
The one they tell you to beware of
We asked for Mother's handouts,
You ask and we shall get
The money saved and money spent
The early morning arguments
Is this a modern love affair!
Is this a modern love affair!
The one they tell you to beware of
