My funny Valentine, sweet comic Valentine
You make me smile with my heart
Your looks are laughable
Unphotographable
Yet you're my favorite work of art
Is your figure less than Greek?
Is your mouth a little weak?
When you open it to speak
Are you smiling?
But don't change a hair for me
Not if you care for me
Stay little Valentine, stay
Each day is Valentine's Day
You make me smile with my heart
Your looks are laughable
Unphotographable
Yet you're my favorite work of art
Is your figure less than Greek?
Is your mouth a little weak?
When you open it to speak
Are you smiling?
But don't change a hair for me
Not if you care for me
Stay little Valentine, stay
Each day is Valentine's Day

@[Diderik:33655] "Your a holiday!" Was a popular term used in the 50s/60s to compliment someone on their all around. For example, not only are they beautiful, but they are fun and kind too ... just an all around "holiday".
I think your first comment is closer to being accurate. The singer/song writers state "Millions of eyes can see, yet why am i so blind!? When the someone else is me, its unkind its unkind". I believe hes referring to the girl toying with him and using him. He wants something deeper with her, thats why he allows himself to be as a puppet (even though for her fun and games) as long as it makes her happy. But he knows deep down that she doesnt really want to be serious with him and thats what makes him.

This song was originally written by a guy called Peter Gutteridge. He was one of the founders of the "Dunedin Sound" a musical scene in the south of New Zealand in the early 80s. From there it was covered by "The Clean" one of the early bands of that scene (he had originally been a member of in it's early days, writing a couple of their best early songs). The Dunedin sound, and the Clean became popular on american college radio in the mid to late 80s. I guess Yo La Tengo heard that version.
Great version of a great song,
Blue
Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran
“Blue” is a song about a love that is persisting in the discomfort of the person experiencing the emotion. Ed Sheeran reflects on love lost, and although he wishes his former partner find happiness, he cannot but admit his feelings are still very much there. He expresses the realization that he might never find another on this stringed instrumental by Aaron Dessner.
Amazing
Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran tells a story of unsuccessfully trying to feel “Amazing.” This track is about the being weighed down by emotional stress despite valiant attempts to find some positivity in the situation. This track was written by Ed Sheeran from the perspective of his friend. From the track, we see this person fall deeper into the negative thoughts and slide further down the path of mental torment with every lyric.
Yeah I love it- but fix these lyrics a little. Just a reading will show a few errors... "Not if you care 'for' me"
@tarzan05 <br /> <br /> What exactly do you mean is one error of several.<br /> <br /> He sings precisely: Not if you really care for me.<br /> <br /> Do you mean the 'for' isn't 'good' english? Then sing it 'good' more yourself, thereafter we can judge the goodness of your lyrics. Is the tarzan of the djungle of the langage brachiateing smart through the words unphotographable because of the ridiculousity as tarzoon, the shame of the djungle? <br /> <br /> It's not the Oxford Dictionary of courtesan conversation of the royal-correct kind here, but the song's lyrics how-are. Isn't it? Just-reading the songtext isn't sufficient, maybe. The listening the song would be helpful probably.<br /> <br /> And the 'really' is really skipable, not extending the meaning really.<br /> <br /> But anyway, congratulations for your two english-competent really nerd-glassed supporters, what find this meaning of songtext really relevant too. Of course, precocious wisenheimers roam everywhere, letting back thumb-up-tag-marks of schoolmasterly correctness in the dephts of the cyberspace as dogs let back pissing-marks at the trees of the nature's space too, to signalize the own significance.<br /> <br /> Sorry for my 'arrogance', but it's really unphotographable comic. It's meant more comic than serious.
The song was covered mostly by men. Yet... It is a song written from a woman's perspective.
It's possibly, the moment she fell in love.
Most men never understand when their better half falls in love with them...and when they are told...they scratch their head.
@tebdanner <br /> <br /> That's an interesting viewpoint.<br /> <br /> I must confess, that it opened my eyes to understand the meaning at all. But of course, nor Chet Baker, nor the ultra-prominent broadway-songwriter-duo Lorenz Hart / Richard Rodgers were women. So, I doubt anyway, if it is really true, that it is written from the feminine viewpoint really. But the address towards a man is very credible for me too. Or even nonunderstandable really, else.<br /> <br /> The original meaning of the songtext is maybe targetted homo-erotic or simply non-erotic, what works for me perfectly too. It's irrelevant in my eyes, as love isn't erotic exclusive. And the erotic side of the love isn't forcely a theme to talk about public, as it is very private.<br /> <br /> The song talks maybe even exactly of the incredible fruitful and prominent partnership of the composer Rodgers with the lyricist Hart in base. <br /> <br /> The artworks of general validity with a concrete base in the real life are always-better, isn't it? Or, at least often-better, as it is frequently less stilted-artificially and fetched-hereby-from-far-away.
Fantastic.
i love the lyrics...
love it. love him.
does it mean that the valentine is not smart? and what does a Greek body stand for?
I believe it's a reference to Greek goddesses or Greek statues who are represented with a perfect figure.<br /> Valentine is not perfect, but in his eyes she is.
Chet Baker sings so beautifully in this. I instantly fell in love with his voice when I first heard this.
