the one track recorded in a studio (Jupiter), and engineered by Martin Feveyear

lyrics

Three Way Valentine

a broken leg in a diamond mine
a three way valentine
the typical story line
I wake I walk I whine
and every time you walk on by
a little death and a little life
it's all I'm going to get tonight
but that's alright

because in the face of it all
two eyes a nose and a mouth
a paperback of the fall
it's better than nothing at all

and even though I know you're out there
running around town
I can't help hoping that you'll speak my name
when those assholes let you down
rolling over on my back
burning red beans to black
a self-styled heart attack
all for what but what the heck?

and in the face of it all
two eyes a nose and a mouth
a paperback of the fall
it's better than nothing at all

I count my blessings behind my back
and stir my drink with the straw
that broke the camel's back

and even though I know you're out there
running around town
I can't help hoping that you'll speak my name
when those bastards let you down
and in the face of it all
two eyes a nose and a mouth
a paperback of the fall
it's better than nothing at all
