Valentine officially released on The Reptile House EP, MR023 - May 1983.

***

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
shiny love song, a quick incision
Cut him down on television

[bad word] to this
Beyond the age of reason
people fed on famine
people on their knees
people eat each other
people stand in line
Waiting for another war and
Waiting for my Valentine

For a million hollow faces
For a million empty smiles
Cancer for my education
Watch the body hit the files
Waiting for another war and
Waiting for my Valentine

***
