Billy Bragg - 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 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
God didn't make you an angel, the Devil made you a man
That brutality and economy are related now I understand
When will you realize that as above so below there is no love
Valentine's Day is over, it's over
Valentine's Day is over
For the girl with the 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
Valentine's Day is over, it's 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
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
Valentine's Day is over, it's over
Valentine's Day is over

Billy Bragg is a national treasure regardless of what country you live in.

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 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 an angel, the Devil made you a man
That brutality and economy are related now I understand
When will you realize that as above so below there is no love
Valentine's Day is over, it's over
Valentine's Day is over
For the girl with the 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 idea of justice just becomes rougher and rougher
A great musician, then he became a sellout
Someday boy you'll reap what you 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 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 than 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, well
You know where the phone is
Don't come 'round reminding me again
How brittle bone is
Got 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, it's over
Valentine's day is over
For the girl with the 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 idea of justice just becomes rougher and rougher
Valentine's day is over, it's 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
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!
Valentine's day is over, it's over
Valentine's day is over, it's over
It's over
poetry..... pottery...
And in 2 mins that's exactly what it will be, over for another year and us single souls can breathe easy again!
Each time on 14th of February I sing this song for myself. Fan since mid 80s. Milkman of human kindness, exactly.
Me too. Play it each year. Socialism of the heart :)
I sing it dreadfully loud.
Forever Bill !
Mad to think it took me a couple of listens to like Worker's Playtime, a real change in style after his first couple of releases. I listen now and it's an absolute classic. Cara Tivey was brilliant on this album.
Still brings a tear to my eye.....
Rob Porter brought me here.
I used to think this song was the best thing I had ever heard. I had to grow up.
No one has to grow up
A fan for over 30 years.i bought this album the week it was released.trust me if you love this song you will love this whole album.not a bad song on it.
Raw, honest, brilliant....amazing he can write from a woman's perspective. You're the best Billy.
Fav of all time Billy Bragg punk poet puts many to shame
My favorite Billy Bragg Album. I have it.
this is my first time hearing anything from Billy Bragg.
now a fan for life
Welcome to the most wonderful of fanclubs. #socialismoftheheart
C... I've been in love with the old Bard from Barking since 1983... top bloke.
One of my favorites by Billy Bragg. I first discovered his music in about 1992 when I went to see Sting perform at the SanDiego Sports Arena and he had Billy Bragg playing solo opening up for him. I never seen a better solo concert in my whole life and he was on an electric guitar by himself.
Major Tim To Ground Control he and that guitar!
I never leave a Bragg show dry - eyed, nor without laughing my ass off. One of my absolute favorites.
he certainly is an education.
This song makes me incredibly uncomfortable. My heart feels so broken listening to this.
Some times that is cathartic. Maybe you need to let out more tears to heal.
but it's real
awesome
A great tune :)
