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 (Repeat)

Is this a modern love affair!

Is this a modern love affair!
The one they tell you to beware of
