lyrics

I met her in a club in town
The feeling was instant, the world felt so distant
Even though we were squashed in the crowd
Things happen very rapidly
Her head hit my shoulder and I pushed her over
But she got both her arms around me

I pulled her hair and she detangled mine
We kissed and she bit on my tongue
Now she’s reaching down to
The zip on my trousers
Oh I can just feel this is love

'Cause she’s so drunk now
I’m so drunk now
But she’s violently keen to have me
She’s so drunk now
I’m so drunk now
We’re in love and we’re both delving in
This modern romance

I reckon we were made to be
It couldn’t be random, we dry-humped in tandem
And we both smelled of beer, sweat and weed
She stood up like a duck on ice
She mumbled some nonsense
To do with her conscience
As she took me away from the lights

She took my fingers and licked every one
Then nestled my hand in her pants
Now we’re in the toilets
I already know that
We’ll each get a taste of romance

'Cause she’s so drunk now
I’m so drunk now
Oh she’s violently keen to have me
She’s so drunk now
I’m so drunk now
We’re in love and we’re both delving in
I'm feeling sick
She’s so drunk now
I’m so drunk now
But it seems like she only wants me
She’s so drunk now
I’m so drunk now
We’re in love and we’re both delving in
This modern romance

Chris Tavener Manchester, UK

Jangly-guitar rock and a biting sense of humour meet in the storytelling songs of Chris Tavener. A deft lyricist with an acerbic wit, Tavener writes his lyrics from the perspective of flawed characters that he draws from 21st century life.

“”An interesting lad with an elastic turn of phrase” – Steve Lamacq, BBC 6 Music

“Nice set. Kinks-y vibes” – Carl Barat, The Libertines ... more
