Feeling a bit nostalgic and with the masterful help of Dysfunction_AL -

I channelled my inner Rick Astley (lol) following some cues from Fronz Arp.

Here’s the lyrics (with as many 90’s pop cliches as I could fit in), pell up soon..

“Modern Love”

I took a train
downtown
avoid the rain
as it falls right down
and through the crowd
and the subway sounds
that’s when I saw her

I feel the pain
when she broke my heart
relive again
as it all comes down
back on again
on this merry-go-round
they call it modern love

Can I crash here tonight?
‘cause I’m in no shape - to drive
Will come out here - alive
‘cause I’ll be gone in the morning

And if we meet
walk wide
out on the street - blindside
stranger is this guy
‘cause I’ll be gone before it started

It’s modern love
modern love
my take on modern love

You seem the same
when we last hooked up
the lights on
but the power’s been cut
no one to blame
they call it modern love

And when you call
I will hang right up
and hold my line
cause it hurts too much
and say I’m fine
to my friends too much
cause they know its modern love

Can I crash here tonight?
‘cause I’m in no shape - to drive
come out here - alive
‘cause I’ll be gone in the morning

And when we meet
walk wide
out on the street - blindside
stranger is this guy
‘cause it ends before it started

And if we kiss goodnight
remember it’s just like
doesn’t mean much right
cause I’ll be gone in the morning

Can we both survive
this modern love of mine?
Doesn’t take much time
cause it ends before it started

Try not to leave behind
a clue that you may find
a care too much love sign
cause it ends before it started
