Billy Bragg Valentine's Day Is Over
Some day boy you'll reap what you've down You'll catch a cold and you'll be on your own And you will see that what's wrong with me Is wrong with everyone that You want to play your little games on Poetry and flowers pretty words and threats You've gone to the dogs again and I'm not placing bets On you coming home tonight anything but blind If you take me for granted then you must expect to find Surprise, surprise Valentine's Day is over, it's over Valentine's Day is over If you want to talk about it well you know where the phone is Don't come round reminding me again how brittle bone is God didn't make you angel the Devil made you a man That brutality and the economy are related now I understand When will you realize that as above so below there is no love For the girl with hour glass figure Time runs out very fast We used to want the same things But that's all in the past And lately it seems that as it all gets tougher Your ideal of justice just becomes rougher and rougher Thank you for the things you bought me thank you for the card Thank you for the things you taught me when you hit me hard That love between two people must be based on understanding Until that's true you'll find your things All stacked out on the landing surprise, surprise
