Valentine Lyrics
Well you wish upon a star that turns into a plane
And I guess that's right on par
Who's left to blame?
If you were a pill
I'd take a handful at my will
And I'd knock you back with something sweet and strong
Plenty of times you wake up in February make-up
Like the moon and the morning star you're gone
(chorus:)
Tonight makes love to all your kind
Tomorrow's makin' Valentines
Hey you pop up in this old place
So sick and so refined (divine?)
Are you strung out on some face?
Well I know it ain't mine
If you were a pill, I'd take a handful at my will,
And I'd knock you back with something sweet and strong
Trouble keeping your head up when you're hungry and you're fed up,
Like a moon and a lone star you're gone
(chorus)
If you were a pill, I'd take a handful at my will,
And I'd knock you back with something sweet as wine
Yesterday was theirs to say, this is their world and their time
Well if tonight belongs to you, tomorrow's mine
(chorus)
(chorus)
And I guess that's right on par
Who's left to blame?
I'd take a handful at my will
And I'd knock you back with something sweet and strong
Plenty of times you wake up in February make-up
Like the moon and the morning star you're gone
Tomorrow's makin' Valentines
So sick and so refined (divine?)
Are you strung out on some face?
Well I know it ain't mine
And I'd knock you back with something sweet and strong
Trouble keeping your head up when you're hungry and you're fed up,
Like a moon and a lone star you're gone
And I'd knock you back with something sweet as wine
Yesterday was theirs to say, this is their world and their time
Well if tonight belongs to you, tomorrow's mine
(chorus)

How can you not love a song that has an opening line of "When you wish upon a star that turns into a plane" and also the line "If you were a pill, I'd take a handful at my will"
One of Westerberg's best. The opening line is classic. Then "If you were a pill I'd take a handful at my will and I'd knock you back with something sweet and strong"? Are you kidding? It does not get better than that ever.
Really, Westerberg? Are you trying to wound all of us hopelessly wounded romantics?
good song
meadnthemoon. what the fuck?
If you listen closely he says: “And I knock you back with something sweet as ron” which will make more sense because later he says: “with something sweet as wine”. In this case I believe that this lines refer to commit suicide with pills and alcohol, she will be the pills and he will be the alcohol, and that’s why he thinks his relationship is almost suicidal because they shouldn’t be together like no one should never mix pills and alcohol.
