Peter Gabriel — Modern Love

[Verse 1] Hey, I'm feeling so dirty, you're looking so clean And all you can give is a spin in your washing machine I fly off to Rome to my prima bella She leaves me in the rain with telescopic umbrella [Chorus] Oh, the pain Modern love can be a strain Oh, the pain Modern love can be a strain [Verse 2] I trusted my Venus was untouched in her shell But the pearls in her oyster were tacky as hell For Lady Godiva I came incognito But her driver had stolen her red hot Magneto [Chorus] Oh, the pain Modern love can be a strain Oh, the pain Modern love can be a strain [Bridge] I don't know why they leave me in the lurch To carry on the search It's driving me up the wall Pity, when I have so much passion Romance is out of fashion Can't handle modern love at all [Interlude] [Verse 3] Hey, I worship Diana by the light of the moon When I pull out my pipe, she screams out of tune In Paris my heart sinks when I see the Mona Lisa She gives me the wink, then she shows me the freezer [Chorus] Oh, the pain Modern love can be a strain Oh, the pain Modern love can be a strain [Outro] Oh, the pain Oh, the pain Oh, the pain Oh, oh, the pain Oh, the pain Oh, the pain
