Cupid's Dead Lyrics

(Have you read the papers today?)

I read the news today (oh boy)
about a tragic comedy
Newspaper hinted suicide
The letterhead read "Dear Johnny..."
A tainted truth was all it said,
sleep tight, now that you made your bed.
An arrow that onced pierced my heart points to the apple on your head.

III sides to every story:
"Yours, Mine and Monday Mornings"

Cupid's Dead. Headlines read 'Cupid's Dead'

(Papers here. Get your papers here!
Extra. Cupid's Dead)

Oh Romeo, Oh Romeo
Where did our love go, Romeo?
If you read between the headlines,
you wouldn't be the last to know.
No mystery yet to unfold.
A paperboy left in the cold.
A love was said to never die. Withered away and just got old.

III sides to every story:
"Yours, Mine and Monday Mornings"

Cupid's Dead. Headlines read 'Cupid's Dead'

(Our top story tonight is a crime of passion.
The victim: an unidentified man was found in bed wearing only a diaper.
Holding a bow and arrow in one hand, and clutching a letter in the other.
The letter simply read: 'Cupid's Dead')

Extra, Extra, Extra
Read all about it.

Cupid's Dead

"Cupid is dead, deceased, I got a piece of mind.
Still it's hard to forget what it leaves behind.
A lot of love lost, your feelings are wasted, tasted the sweetness but now you're faced with the thought of being alone.
Nor more companionship. You can handle it, just abandon it. Leave it behind and look for the brighter day.
Give it some time, cuz it won't come right away. You gotta be standing strong. Hold on to your dignity.
Don't sit around saying "Look what you did to me!". It's time to move on. You gotta continue to look for the love of a life that's within you.
Cupid is dead now. It's time to rely on yourself to cope.
You've got no shoulder to cry on"

DEAD!

Antivalentinism refers to a set of criticisms of Saint Valentine’s Day (February 14th). These tend to fall into two categories, one anticonsumerist and the other a critique of romantic love, or at least its role in modern society. These two objections can exist independently, so that one antivalentinist might exchange hand made gifts with his or her beloved and spend time together without spending any money, and another might go shopping or partying with single friends. That said, the two critiques seem more commonly to exist on a spectrum, expressed in the quip that "Love is just something created by Madison Avenue to sell perfume and chocolates. Valentine’s Day has been dubbed as a "Hallmark holiday" (a reference to the Hallmark greeting card company based in the United States). The moniker is used due to the millions of valentines exchanged each Valentine's Day; a large portion of cards that are purchased in the U.S. are Hallmark cards.Many companies and businesses make large profits from selling massive amounts of cards, flowers, chocolates, candies, stuffed animals and other gifts which can lead to those with a significant other feeling they are expected to purchase such gifts, whether they want to or not. Some people believe this takes away from the values, significance and meaning of Valentine's Day
