It's not like the old days! Lyrics

A rising damp of desperation swiping right

Like a nightclub bar at ten to two

All the filters like beer goggles

Well they refocus

The looks of the ones that swipe on you

Where's the primal, urge stumble

A slow dance across the floor

Seems like no one falls in love

The way they did before

She shuts the flat door and says

I don't usually do this sort of thing

Through bumbling tongues he says the same

But we both know that they're lying

A plastic foil packet like a Cinderella shoe

Same again next weekend

Cos there's sod all else to do

Awkward morning nods now that they're sober

I'll see myself out and I'll message you later

Cos no one falls in love like they did before

Swiping right and tally up the score

Digital age of dating filtered pics

Not knowing her name before you see their tits

Cos no one falls in love the way they did before

Years down the line the kids will ask them how they met

And they'll scramble to think of a cute love story scene

Hoping that the pictures of that girl's night down at a stallion's

Or his stag weekend in Prague are never ever seen

And if the last night of freedom was your point of view

Why did you even bother to see it through

Matched, hatched, dispatched, dreaming of the life you knew

Cos no one falls in love like they did before

You're out of luck if you're not six foot or more

Thirst traps or running bears

Talking to trees, splitting the hairs

Cos no one falls in love like the way they did before

What happened to romance

Two hearts in a love-struck ballet dance

Holding hands in the moonlight, hearts all entranced

She looked at me, all confused

I'll nosh thee off for a bottle of breeza

Cos no one falls in love the way they did before

Like they did before

Cos no one falls in love like they did before

No flips of butterflies or anticipation anymore

Going their own way or blaming me too

Don't know which pill to swallow

Cos no one falls in love like they used to do
