The Last Romantic
02:49

He’s never been the polyamorous type
Or wanted somebody just for the night
On first dates he’s always polite
And he draws the line at holding hands
Spends his nights writing loving long letters
While we’re out in chains and leathers
All he wants is forever and ever
It can’t be that hard to find
Spare a thought for the last romantic
He’s got no time for your deviant antics
He’s not versed in love semantics
He’s only got eyes for one
He’s only into monogamy
Turns his nose up at role play
Thinks its wrong to swing both ways
Cause his cheeks are too clenched to try
(And he says)- bizarre geometric affections
Are good for nothing but infections
He wrote in the personals section
Are there any good girls left
Spare a thought for the last romantic
He’s got no time for your deviant antics
He’s not versed in love semantics
He’s only got eyes for one
His new girlfriend says he’s not like most guys
You can tell he’s sincere by those big puppy eyes
So what if he always cries
And after two minutes he’s done
(But lately)- he hasn’t been able to thrill her
His ice cream is too 50 shades of vanilla
And if he could only fill her LIFE
With more exciting times
She was caught by the last romantic
Now she’s so bored that she can’t stand it
She’s becoming somewhat frantic
And started thinking that she’s done
Spare a thought for the last romantic
Never tried all our deviant antics
He’s not versed in love semantics
He’s only got eyes for one
Said he’s only got eyes for one

Stumbled on a bag of all
The gifts I got from you
Your letters and your novel
With the pictures that you drew
I couldn't throw them all away
But I couldn't keep them close
Now they're hid under the mattress
Like a memory or ghost
And it's one more tune by the Silver Jews and I'm through
Because my moving on is more than overdue
And I'm four sheets gone to the wind but that won't do
Because they talk and talk but they don't talk like me and you
Weaving tales of heartache
Into adolescent songs
Sentimental redress
For the right and perceived wrongs
We haven't talked in months now
All out letters have been sent
It's a far cry from the day
When we both promised to stay friends
And it's one more tune by the Silver Jews and I'm through
Because my moving on is more than overdue
And I'm four sheets gone to the wind but that won't do
Because they talk and talk but they don't talk like me and you
Because they talk and talk but they don't talk like me and you
Say no say no and I
Oh oh
Oh oh
Say no and I
Oh oh
Oh oh
And it's one more tune by the Silver Jews and I'm through
Because my moving on is more than overdue
And I'm four sheets gone to the wind but that won't do
Because they talk and talk but they don't talk like me and you
Because they talk and talk but they don't talk like me and you

Better in Time

To the lonely and lost
And who'er bore the cost
Of these years marked by pain and decline
Though it's, hard carry on
Hear my voice and this song
Worry not, it gets better in time
Through the hardships you're thrown
You are not as alone
As you feel when there's fear in your mind
Take the weight of it all
In a breath, let it fall
Softly say, we get better in time
And to you who has stayed
Through my darkest of days
I won't rest till I've repaid in kind
All the joy and the patience
And love that you gave
With each day it gets better in time
And the lives that your mother
And father have led
Leave their mark but they need not define
Who you are or the path
Upon which you will tread
Oh my love, we get better in time
To the young boy afraid
Of the choices that lay
On ahead, you need not yet decide
You'll find wisdom with age
And each journey waylaid
Come what may, you get better in time
And the friends you shall meet
And the courage you seek
Will sustain for years down the line
If the future's not clear
Hear your heart, let it steer you
Young man, we get better in time

The Romantidote Berlin, Germany
the bastard love-child of bon iver, byron and, bizarrely, the bee gees, the romantidote is a musical odyssey into the melancholic mind of a lonely man.
If you like The Romantidote, you may also like:
Melvins fans will flip for this lost ’90s indie classic, with its sludgy guitars, hypnotic rhythms and irresistible hooks. Essential.
