June Tabor & The Oyster Band - Valentine's Day Is Over Lyrics

Someday boy you'll reap what you've sown
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 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

Girl with the hour glass figure
Time runs out so fast
We used to want the same things but that's all in the past
Lately it seems that as it all gets tougher
Your idea of justice just gets rougher and rougher
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 an 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

Valentine's Day is over
Valentine's Day is over

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

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

Valentine's Day is over, it's over
Valentine's Day is over
Valentine's Day is over
Valentine's Day is over
