With legendary producer Bob Ezrin taking charge the intention was to make something more direct and tougher than what had come before.

Though Solsbury Hill was the first single from the album, Modern Love was the only track to have a video made at that time:
"The video for Modern Love was done with this director Peter Medak (I’d seen the film The Ruling Class which I really enjoyed, a great film with Peter O’Toole) and he did that with me in Shepherds Bush. They were just putting in this new shopping centre with moving escalators which seemed very ‘of the future’ at the time."

Modern Love Lyrics

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 leave me in the rain with a telescopic umbrella
Aah the pain
Modern love can be a strain

I trusted my Venus was untouched in her shell
But the pearls, the pearls in her oyster were as tacky
as hell
For Lady Godiva I came incognito
Her driver had stolen her red hot magneto
Aah the pain
Modern love can be a strain

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

Hey I worship Diana by the light of the moon
When I pull out my pipe she scream out of tune
In Paris my heart sink when I see my Mona Lisa
She gives me the wink, then she show me the freezer
Aah the pain
Modern love can be a strain
Aah the pain
Modern love can be a strain
