With reluctance I admit 
I’m unable to commit
In matters of the heart 
I keep mine and yours apart
A reduction in our distance 
Could awaken my resistance 
Though I’m craving love and care 
I might feel deprived from air

Modern celibacy 
Fear of intimacy
Emotional deficiency
Oh oh

I like waking in your arms
And I’m tempted by your charms
When there are strings attached
Then my heart remains untouched
When desire meets obligation 
Feel like making no concession
Sorry but I cannot settle 
My will stings me like a nettle

Modern celibacy 
Fear of intimacy
Emotional deficiency
Oh oh

I dislike being constrained 
I’m unacquainted with restraint
Need my time and need my space 
Hard to synch up with your pace
I’m not lonely I ‘m alone
And fond of being on my own
It takes a whole new attitude 
Parting with my solitude

Modern celibacy 
Fear of intimacy

Modern celibacy 
Fear of intimacy
Dysfunctional delicacy 

Modern celibacy 
Fear of intimacy
Emotional deficiency

Modern Celibacy

from the eternal Japanese bonus live disc

Sonic Youth - Bull In The Heather Live

The Berlin Brides’ sound is a hybrid of electro, punk and power pop. They are: Natasha, lyricist and lead singer, and Marilena, keyboardist who gives the band its electronic identity. Conceived in Berlin and formed in Greece, they are reinventing the music scene in Athens with their caustic lyrics and their combustible live performances.
They have toured Greece extensively and have played alongside CocoRosie, Kap Bambino, Jessie Evans, and in EJEKT festival with the Subways, Klaxons, Jarvis Cocker and Royksopp. 
They performed in the UK for the first time in June 2009 in Buffalo Bar, London, as winners of the Velvet Magazine Prize 2009. It was awarded to them by Artrocker Magazine, which labeled their self-released EP ‘Failure to Wank' one of the two best releases of 2008. That performance granted them a slot in the New Bands Stage at Offset Festival in September 2009, where they performed to an enthused audience and received glowing reviews. In October 2010 they debuted in North America with 6 shows in Toronto Indie Week Festival, winning fans and critical acclaim on the other side of the Atlantic.
Inner Ear Records released their 7” single “Rejection Junkie” on clear vinyl in June 2010 and their debut album "Modern Celibacy" in October 2010 on CD and 12” vinyl.
