about

For those who forgot the roses, again. / Für all jene, die mal wieder die Rosen vergessen haben.
From the upcoming album 'Between the Golden Age & The Promised Land':

lyrics

Valentine’s Day
(words and music Ray Cooper)
Take me I’m half saint half sinner
Sometimes more dead than alive
I’ve been a half loser half winner
I left it for luck to decide
I’m going to buy you a big bunch of roses
To make up for all I’ve done wrong
And I’m hoping in time you’ll forgive me
And then let me drive the car home
’Cos it’s been ten years since I first saw your face
It’s been ten years ago today
It’s time to thank you my dear
And drink a toast to the years
And I wish you a happy Valentines Day
Yes I wish you a happy Valentines Day
Many’s the time you’ve saved me
And I did the same once for you
Like that time when you broke your leg drinking
When you fell off your favourite bar stool
So take me again my own darling
At least you will know what you get
It’s better the devil you’re knowing
Than the angel you’ve only just met
And it’s been ten years since I first saw your face
It’s been ten years ago today
And it’s time to thank you my dear
And drink a toast to the years
And I wish you a happy Valentines Day
