The razor bites and the shriek subsides He arches clutching at his sides Across the floor across the tiles The man is dead and the razor smiles A shiny love song a quick incision Cut him down on television
A people come to this Beyond the age of reason A people fed on famine A people on their knees and People eat each other A people stand in line Waiting for another war and Waiting for my valentine
For a million empty faces For a million hollow smiles Cancer for my education Watch the body hit the files Waiting for another war and Waiting for my valentine
Michael plays with stars Soul Sister won′t you take a ride in his car Late to call When you wanted to be all Baby, baby, don′t be so shy Rock children hold your heads up high In the night while I try And tell the ballad of Valentine
You got it bad, but you know it′s true
I caught up with a friend in Dallas We took a trip to New Orleans Those black-eyed ladies Won′t say they′re sorry
We finally caught a train to Memphis Where everybody talks the same Those blue suede babies All know my name
And I said hold tight Can′t you see it′s hurting me But I′ve got the buzz Like Marlon Brando Michael Valentine, can′t we unite?
We ended up in North Dakota Although my heart′s in Mexico My muсequita Abre tus ojos
With your new suit, and your black tie Hold on, you′re just a gambling man, all proper like I broke to the right and I caught your eye Shut your mouth and wave goodbye Tonight, I ain′t gonna let you rain on this parade
And I said hold tight Can′t you see it′s hurting me But I′ve got the buzz Like Marlon Brando Straight faced with misery tonight
And I will not lie when I say I ain′t cold no more But I′ve got the buzz Like Greta Garbo Walking forwards in the sun And I′ve got a coat tail left to ride
My insides all turned to ash / So slow And blew away as I collapsed / So cold A black wind took them away / From sight And now the darkness over day / that night
And the clouds above move closer looking so dissatisfied but the heartless wind kept blowing, blowing
I used to be my own protection / But not now Cause my path had lost direction / Somehow A black wind took you away / From sight And now the darkness over day / That night
And the clouds above more closer looking so dissatisfied and the ground below grew colder as they put you down inside but the heartless wind kept blowing, blowing
So now you′re gone And I was wrong I never knew what it was like To be alone
On a Valentine′s Day On a Valentine′s Day On a Valentine′s Day On a Valentine′s Day On a Valentine′s Day
I used to be my own protection On a Valentine′s Day / But not now
On a Valentine′s Day
Cause my mind has lost direction On a Valentine′s Day / somehow On a Valentine′s Day
I used to be my own protection On a Valentine′s Day / But not now On a Valentine′s Day
Cause my mind has lost direction On a Valentine′s Day / somehow
Comme disait Valentine Qui n′a rien inventé A quoi sert l′aspirine Quand on a la santé A quoi sert d′être zouave Sur le pont Mirabeau A quoi sert d′être brave Quand on a pas de peau C′est trop c′est trop
Faut s′contenter Du temps qu′il fait De l′eau que l′on boit On a pas choisi On est c′qu′on est Et on a c′qu′on a
Si t′es gondolier à Tombouctou T′es pas dans le goût T′as pas d′avenir Si t′es fourreur au Zaïre Tu n′as aucun espoir Si t′es fakir à Tlama
Comme disait Valentine Qui n′a pas peur des mots A quoi sert la marine Quand on fait du vélo A quoi sert la Guadeloupe Quand on est du Soudan A quoi sert d′être en groupe Quand on a mal aux dents On perd du temps
On ne peut quand même pas Vivre et mourir Il faut faire un choix C′est pour le meilleur Ou pour l′empire Comme disait le roi
Faut pas se moquer des Parisiens Ils n′y sont pour rien C′est la faute à ton père Si t′es natif de Quimper Mieux vaut naître à Moscou Que de ne pas naître du tout
Comme disait Valentine Qui n′est pas un cerveau A quoi sert Lamartine Sans son alter-Hugo Comme disait Charlemagne A son bon Saint-Éloi A quoi servent les dames Quand on est Henri III C′est pas la joie
Qu′on mette les villes à la campagne Châteaux en Espagne Tout le monde veut du changement Tout le monde sera content Tout le monde veut du nouveau Tout le monde dira "Bravo!"
Comme disait Valentine Qui n′a rien inventé A quoi sert l′aspirine Quand on a la santé A quoi sert d′être zouave Sur le pont Mirabeau A quoi sert d′être brave Quand on a pas de peau C′est trop c′est trop
Sometimes she fades away She′s seen too many movies Killing enough rainy days With nothing else to do
We′ll make our escape Like the end of casablanca Taking off from a dark runway With nothing left to lose
The sun is shining somewhere Somewhere far away I could sell everything and go there Just to hear her say - listen my
Valentine Say the line We can be famous for tonight Superstar There you are Bigger than life in black and white Valentine Say the line We can just leave it all behind Say the line My valentine
Just like roman holiday A princess and a schemer Killing an ordinary day Any way they choose
Back in hollywood Convertibles and palm trees Matinee movie-stars and sunscreen I wonder if it′s true
The sun is rising somewhere Brighter every day We′ll forget everything and go there Nothing′s in the way
Valentine Say the line We can be famous for tonight Superstar There you are Bigger than life in black and white Valentine Say the line We can just leave it all behind Say the line My valentine
Sometimes she starts to fade With starry eyes she tells me "i want a place in the sun" She′s not the only one
The sun is shining somewhere Somewhere far away If we just pack our bags and go there Everything will change
Valentine Say the line We can be famous for tonight Superstar There you are Bigger than life in black and white Valentine Say the line We can just leave it all behind Say the line My valentine
In the name of love lost I′m frozen to her and I want you to come build me a bridge soaked in gasoline and pass the torch.
Hey baby let me be your Valentine, St. Valentine... Suck the sorrow out of you and try to keep the lie alive. Like St. Valentine
Like the couple from Pompei, our drama′s put on display. Along with a dove, stuffed In a coffin of glass entitled "Love, Lust and the Holy Ghost".
Those were the days.
Hey baby let me be your Valentine, St. Valentine, Suck the sorrow out of you and try to keep the lie alive. Hey baby let me be your Valentine, St. Valentine, Suck the sorrow out of you and try to keep a lie alive. Like Saint Valentine.
Love′s the only war worth dying for. Build me up to knock me down, I′m all yours.
Hey baby let me be your Valentine, St. Valentine, Suck the sorrow out of you and try to keep the lie alive. Hey baby let me be your Valentine, St. Valentine, Suck the sorrow out of you and try to keep a lie alive. Like Saint Valentine.
Hey baby let me be your valentine, St. Valentine, Hey baby let me be your valentine, St. Valentine, Hey baby let me be your valentine, St. Valentine, Hey baby let me be your valentine, St. Valentine, Like Saint Valentine.
Oh, my love Please don′t cry I′ll wash my bloody hands and We′ll start a new life
I ripped out His throat And called you on the telephone To take off My disguise Just in time to hear you cry when you...
You mourn the death of your bloody valentine The night he died You mourn the death of your bloody valentine One last time
Singin′...
Oh, my love Please don′t cry I′ll wash my bloody hands and We′ll start a new life I don′t know much at all I don′t know wrong from right All I know is that I love you tonight
There was Police and Flashing lights The rain came down so hard that night and the Headlines read A lover died No tell-tale heart was left to find when you...
You mourn the death of your bloody valentine The night he died You mourn the death of your bloody valentine One last time
Singin′...
Oh, my love Please don′t cry I′ll wash my bloody hands and We′ll start a new life I don′t know much at all I don′t know wrong from right All I know is that I love you tonight
Tonight
He dropped you off, I followed him home Then I, I stood outside his bedroom window Standing over him, he begged me not to do What I knew I had to do cause I′m so in love with you
Oh, my love Please don′t cry I′ll wash my bloody hands and We′ll start a new life I don′t know much at all I don′t know wrong from right All I know is that I love you tonight Tonight
She sends me blue valentines All the way from Philadelphia To mark the anniversary Of someone that I used to be And it feels just like theres A warrant out for my arrest Got me checkin in my rearview mirror And I′m always on the run Thats why I changed my name And I didn′t think you′d ever find me here
To send me blue valentines Like half forgotten dreams Like a pebble in my shoe As I walk these streets And the ghost of your memory Is the thistle in the kiss And the burgler that can break a roses neck It′s the tatooed broken promise That I hide beneath my sleeve And I see you every time I turn my back
She sends me blue valentines Though I try to remain at large They′re insisting that our love Must have a eulogy Why do I save all of this madness In the nightstand drawer There to haunt upon my shoulders Baby I know I′d be luckier to walk around everywhere I go With a blind and broken heart That sleeps beneath my lapel
She sends me my blue valentines To remind me of my cardinal sin I can never wash the guilt Or get these bloodstains off my handa And it takes a lot of whiskey To take this nightmares go away And I cut my bleedin heart out every nite And I die a little more on each St. Valentines day Remember that I promised I would Write you... These blue valentines blue valentines blue valentines
My funny valentine Sweet comic valentine You make me smile with my heart Your looks are laughable Unphotographable Yet your my favourite work of art Is your figure less than Greek? Is your mouth a little weak? When you open it to speak Are you smart?
But don′t change your hair for me Not if you care for me Stay little valentine, stay Each day is valentine′s day
Is your figure less than Greek? Is your mouth a little weak? When you open it to speak Are you smart?
But don′t change your hair for me Not if you care for me Stay little valentine, stay Each day is valentine′s day
