Roaring Jack - Love In The Modern Age lyrics

He was a soldier of fortune, she turns up when a fortune's made He's got an eye for the main chance, she's got her eye on a Chevrolet He could tell by the way that she held her drink There was more on her mind than the kitchen sink Giving him the eye, giving him the wink He knew he had to have her so he went and bought a mink That's love in the modern age Love in the modern age You just won't score till you open up the door For love in the modern age He's gonna eat her for breakfast, she's gonna take him for what he's got No one has any illusions, it's all above board so they know what's what You see, they use, he, she and it use. Give some, take some, can't seen to be used. Heads you win tails you lose Use up all the readies then you wind up with the blues Now it's time to think about the future, now it's time to think about a lifetime plan They know where they want to get to, they don't want to be an also ran Nuclear family, mortgage, alimony Put a bit away for a well-earned holiday It pays to think ahead, you know it's funny If you get caught short ‘cause you need a bit of money For love in the modern age
