Valentine

My dearest valentine there's something I must confess
It isn't everyday that someone unbuckles my belt
and whispers in my ears four letter words
Says the filthiest things I think I've ever heard
I haven't come prepared there aren't many moments like this
She doesn't seem to care so we'll probably end up with kids
But I could spend my life with her and she feels the same
Least that's what she's screaming over and over again

Oh valentine I think you might have saved my life
Oh valentine, oh valentine
Oh valentine I think you might have saved my life
Oh valentine, oh valentine

We'll move back to the countryside mistake the abattoir machines
For ordinary tractor sounds and live a life of artifice
and you can read me Oscar Wilde and I can read your horoscope
I'll write lines to break your heart every other week or so
'Cause what we've got they can never take away from us
Not in a million years
Even when the initial flames of love have gone
Our souls are fingertip to fingertip

Oh valentine I think you might have saved my life
Oh valentine, oh valentine
Oh valentine I think you might have saved my life
Oh valentine, oh valentine

Valentine
Valentine

Been waiting a long time
For someone like you
Maybe we'll settle down
In a quiet little seaside town
An electric fire
A broken black and white tv
The giro's in tomorrow's post
and what we can't afford we'll steal

and when we have children
They'll be just like us
They'll be curious
and with any luck look just like you
I'll take the photographs
'Cause when they're old enough they'll ask
what was it like in the day
When it was possible to fall in love?

Oh valentine I think you might have saved my life
Oh valentine, oh valentine
Oh valentine I think you might have saved my life
Oh valentine, oh valentine

Valentine
