VALENTINE

words and musuc by andrew eldritch





The razor bites and the shriek subsides

He arches clutching at his sides

Across the floor across the tiles

The man is dead and the razor smiles

A shiny love song a quick incision

Cut him down on television



A people come to this

Beyond the age of reason

A people fed on famine

A people on their knees and

People eat each other

A people stand in line

Waiting for another war and

Waiting for my valentine



For a million empty faces

For a million hollow smiles

Cancer for my education

Watch the body hit the files

Waiting for another war and

Waiting for my valentine
