5.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 if 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 only sure 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 gyros 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 laugh
Of 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
Valentine

8.Tell Me

The gentlest thought still brings a tear to my eye,
when summer reminds me of those halcyon days
Our pseudonyms scrawled all down the jubilee line
whilst down at the park our twisted bicycles lay
We were young and in love, holding hands in the sun,
in hindsight we were true romantics
Not a second of our life seemed wasted,
French kissing 'till the light had faded

Tell me, tell me something I aint ever heard before
Tell me something that'll make you love me more
Tell me something that'll mean the world to me
Tell me, tell me

And now the swings are wrapped around
the poles where they once hung
And the sound of the ice cream van is sinister
And the tenement blocks where we both grew up
How quickly they became your prison cell
Even now you seem young to be pushing that pram
To be bringing up kids both with different dads
For some of us there's no escaping
I still hear you saying

Tell me, tell me something I aint ever heard before
Tell me something that'll make you love me more
Tell me something that'll mean the world to me
Tell me, tell me

'cos nothing feels like it feels the first time
Sacred moments like uncut diamonds
I still think of you there waiting
And still hear you saying

Tell me, tell me something I aint ever heard before
Tell me something that'll make you love me more
Tell me something that'll mean the world to me
Tell me, tell me

Tell me, tell me something I aint ever heard before
Tell me something that'll make you love me more
Tell me something that'll mean the world to me
Tell me, tell me
