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
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 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

    And in 2 mins that's exactly what it will be, over for another year and us single souls can breathe easy again!

  7. N.... N....

    N.... N....

    Me too. Play it each year. Socialism of the heart :)

    N.... N....

    I sing it dreadfully loud.

  8. P.... L....

    Forever Bill !

  9. T.... ....

    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.

  10. D.... G....

    Still brings a tear to my eye.....

  11. P.... K....

    Rob Porter brought me here.

  12. S.... B....

    I used to think this song was the best thing I had ever heard. I had to grow up.

    S.... B....

    No one has to grow up

  13. d.... ....

    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.

  14. C.... R....

    Raw, honest, brilliant....amazing he can write from a woman's perspective. You're the best Billy.

  15. D.... M....

    Fav of all time Billy Bragg punk poet puts many to shame

  16. J.... S....

    My favorite Billy Bragg Album. I have it.

  17. G.... M....

    this is my first time hearing anything from Billy Bragg.
    now a fan for life

    G.... M....

    Welcome to the most wonderful of fanclubs. #socialismoftheheart

    G.... M....

    C... I've been in love with the old Bard from Barking since 1983... top bloke.

  18. M.... T....

    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.

    M.... T....

    Major Tim To Ground Control he and that guitar!

    M.... T....

    I never leave a Bragg show dry - eyed, nor without laughing my ass off. One of my absolute favorites.

    M.... T....

    he certainly is an education.

  19. K.... O....

    This song makes me incredibly uncomfortable. My heart feels so broken listening to this.

    K.... O....

    Some times that is cathartic. Maybe you need to let out more tears to heal.

    K.... O....

    but it's real

  20. E.... S....

    awesome

  21. P.... R....

    A great tune :)
