Anti valentines Day Anthem ’97 (The day of the year) written by Alan.s.Robinson
It’s the day of the year, when true love is declared
A time to renew, those oaths that we both sweared
I swore that I’d be true (to you)
and I’ve been lying ever since
Crossing my fingers when kissing you,
and hoping you don’t see me wince
It only reminds me, another year has gone
I’ve made my mistakes and I’ve moved along
But you’re the one
I cannot escape from
Something from the urge for fatality
Attaches you still to me
I’ll write this card, with x’s for a kiss
If you were my ex, I’d have everything I wish
I don’t know how to break it off
Or how to say goodbye
If you asked (me now) how it went wrong
I couldn’t begin to say why
I’ll put on my jacket, and I’ll drive down town
I’ll find that girl, who I find hanging round
With my sports kit in the back
‘cause I told you I’d be playing football
I’ll buy you some roses
From the garage when I call
It’s the day of the year, When I can’t not think of you
When I can’t not feel guilty about the things I do
It’s the day of the year, I interrogate the past
Staring it down and asking, how long it will last
It’s the day of the year I try to mark my future out
The day I plan my life, without you about
It’s the day of the year when the present sticks in my throat
When I choke upon this card you send, and swallow my hope
Its just the day of the year
