You used to be a friend of mine
Then I said will you be my valentine
I said, be my valentine
Yeah – be my valentine
That’s when you stopped
Turning up on time
That’s when I started spending
A fortune on wine.
But – be my valentine
I said be my valentine
Beryl the Peril
Loves Korky the cat
But we don’t talk about [...]

The RAF like a nibble on those long plane rides
Cheese and cress over Tunisia
Tuna and flesh over Turkey
Oh yes, they like a sandwich or two
Real and strong in their cock pits.

And resentment rides high, but emotions won’t grow
And we’re changing our ways, taking different roads
