A fan for over 30 years.i bought this album the week it was released.trust me if you love this song you will love this whole album.not a bad song on it.
One of my favorites by Billy Bragg. I first discovered his music in about 1992 when I went to see Sting perform at the SanDiego Sports Arena and he had Billy Bragg playing solo opening up for him. I never seen a better solo concert in my whole life and he was on an electric guitar by himself.
Someday boy you'll reap what you've sown You'll catch a cold and you'll be on your own And you will see that what's wrong with me Is wrong with everyone that You want to play your little games on Poetry and flowers pretty words and threats You've gone to the dogs again and I'm not placing bets On you coming home tonight anything but blind If you take me for granted then you must expect to find Surprise, surprise Valentine's Day is over, it's over Valentine's Day is over If you want to talk about it well you know where the phone is Don't come round reminding me again how brittle bone is God didn't make you an angel, the Devil made you a man That brutality and economy are related now I understand When will you realize that as above so below there is no love Valentine's Day is over, it's over Valentine's Day is over For the girl with the hour glass figure Time runs out very fast We used to want the same things but that's all in the past And lately it seems that as it all gets tougher Your idea of justice just becomes rougher and rougher
Mad to think it took me a couple of listens to like Worker's Playtime, a real change in style after his first couple of releases. I listen now and it's an absolute classic. Cara Tivey was brilliant on this album.
Someday boy you'll reap what you sown You'll catch a cold and you'll be on your own And you will see that what's wrong with me Is wrong with everyone that you want to play your little games on Poetry and flowers, pretty words and threats You've gone to the dogs again and I'm not placing bets on you Coming home tonight Anything but blind If you take me for granted than you must expect to find Surprise, surprise! Valentine's day is over, it's over Valentine's day is over If you want to talk about, well You know where the phone is Don't come 'round reminding me again How brittle bone is Got didn't make you an angel The devil made you a man That brutality and the economy Are related now I understand When will you realize that as above So below there is no love Valentine's day is over, it's over Valentine's day is over For the girl with the hour-glass figure Time runs out very fast We used to want the same things But that's all in the past And lately it seems that as it all gets tougher Your idea of justice just becomes rougher and rougher Valentine's day is over, it's over Valentine's day is over Thank you for the things you bought me Thank you for the card Thank you for the things you taught me when you hit me hard That love between two people must be based on understanding Until that's true you'll find your things all stacked out on the landing Surprise, surprise! Valentine's day is over, it's over Valentine's day is over, it's over It's over
