Lyrics

Modern Love

I know when to go out

And when to stay in

Get things done

I catch a paper boy

But things don't really change

I'm standing in the wind

But I never wave bye-bye

But I try, I try

There's no sign of life

It's just the power to charm

I'm lying in the rain

But I never wave bye-bye

But I try, I try

Never gonna fall for

Walks beside me

(Modern love) walks on by

(Modern love) gets me to the church on time

(Church on time) terrifies me

(Church on time) makеs me party

(Church on time) puts my trust in God and man

(God and man) no confessions

(God and man) no rеligion

(God and man) don't believe in modern love

It's not really work

It's just the power to charm

I'm still standing in the wind

But I never wave bye bye

But I try, I try

Never gonna fall for

Walks beside me

(Modern love) walks on by

(Modern love) gets me to the church on time

(Church on time) terrifies me

(Church on time) makes me party

(Church on time) puts my trust in God and man

(God and man) no confessions

(God and man) no religion

(God and man) don't believe in modern love walks beside me

(Modern love) walks on by

(Modern love) gets me to the church on time

(Church on time) terrifies me

(Church on time) makes me party

(Church on time) puts my trust in God and man

(God and man) no confessions

(God and man) no religion

(God and man)don't believe in modern love

Modern love (modern love)

Modern love (modern love)

Modern love (modern love)

Modern love (modern love)

Modern love (modern love)

Modern love (modern love)

Modern love (modern love)

Modern love (modern love)

(Modern love)

(Modern love)

(Modern love)

(Modern love)

Modern love, walks beside me

(Modern love)

Modern love, walks on by

(Modern love)

Modern love, walks beside me

Modern love

Modern love, walks on by

Modern love

Never gonna fall for

Modern love

Modern love

    Cursive - Devourer

    'Devourer' is a knotty, visceral listen.

    No genre, no problem: Cursive's decades-long musical defiance

    For nearly 30 years, Tim Kasher and co. have challenged genre conventions, keeping Cursive's sound fiercely unpredictable.

    Cursive: "When I'm wagging the finger at others, I'm also wagging the finger at myself"

    Indie-rock stalwarts Cursive are back with their first album in six years. With society falling apart around us, it's a suitably vitriolic reaction to the state of the world.

    Cursive - Vitriola

    ‘Vitriola’ bubbles and boils with anger and simmers with regret and futility.
