June Tabor, Oysterband - 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
You will see that what's wrong with me
Is wrong with everyone 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 your 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
Latеly it seems that as it all gets tougher
Your idea of justicе 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
Till 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
