The Operative Songtext
von Cabaret Voltaire
The Operative Songtext
You were never found to be backward
Or wanting in anyway
You were hidden so cleverly in love
What scheme did you obey!
And I know why you go so slow
You had such strange disappointments
Too bare against the paint
You knew the handle was broken And your strong arm was faint
And I know why you go so slow
Your tired empire′s fallen
Victim to your unease
You could make yourself so useful
If you'd get on your knees
And I know why you go so slow
Or wanting in anyway
You were hidden so cleverly in love
What scheme did you obey!
And I know why you go so slow
You had such strange disappointments
Too bare against the paint
You knew the handle was broken And your strong arm was faint
And I know why you go so slow
Your tired empire′s fallen
Victim to your unease
You could make yourself so useful
If you'd get on your knees
And I know why you go so slow
