A Fine Romance
Chilled Affection: A Tale of Unrequited Love
Lyrics
A fine romance with no kisses
A relationship that lacks affectionate gestures like kisses.
A fine romance, my friend this is
Describing a relationship that is deemed as good, despite its shortcomings.
We should be like a couple of hot tomatoes
They should be passionate and lively like vibrant tomatoes.
But you're as cold as yesterday's mashed potatoes
Comparing the partner's coldness to leftover, unappealing mashed potatoes from the previous day.
A fine romance, you won't nestle
You refuse to get close emotionally.
A fine romance, you won't wrestle
You avoid engaging or grappling with romantic feelings or situations.
I might as well play bridge with my old maid aunts
Expressing how futile it is to pursue romantic interaction, akin to playing a card game with elderly, unmarried relatives.
I haven't got a chance
Feeling hopeless or without any prospect of success in romance.
This is a fine romance
Summarizing the entire situation as an ironic "fine romance" despite its evident flaws.
A fine romance, my good fellow
Commenting ironically on the partner's approach to romance, contrasting it with a playful choice like jello.
You take romance, I'll take jello
Suggesting a different approach to love and romance.
You're calmer than the seals in the arctic ocean
Comparing the partner's demeanor to the calmness of seals in a freezing environment.
At least they flap their fins to express emotion
Highlighting the lack of emotional expression compared to even animals who show some form of emotion.
A fine romance with no quarrels
Desiring a relationship without arguments or conflicts.
With no insults and all morals
Referring to a relationship with high moral standards and no disrespectful behavior.
I've never mussed the crease
Never causing any disturbance or disorder in the partner's appearance or attire.
In your blue serge pants
Never getting an opportunity to be physically close to the partner.
I never get the chance
Expressing the lack of chances or occasions to foster intimacy.
This is a fine romance
Summing up the situation as an ironically labeled "fine romance" despite its evident inadequacies.
A fine romance, you won't nestle
Reiterating the partner's reluctance to get emotionally close.
A fine romance, you won't wrestle
Reinforcing the partner's unwillingness to engage in romantic interactions or intimacy.
I might as well play bridge with my old maid aunts
Repeating the futility of pursuing romance, likening it to a futile activity with elderly unmarried relatives.
I haven't got a chance
Reaffirming a feeling of hopelessness or lack of chances in the pursuit of romance.
This is a fine romance
Reiterating the ironic description of the relationship as a "fine romance."
This is a fine romance
Repeating the statement about the relationship's ironic labeling as a "fine romance."
This is a fine romance
Concluding with the assertion that despite the flaws, this relationship is still dubbed a "fine romance."
