Wire)
She's so passive but she's looking good
He's so passive but he's looking good
They are together but really they're apart
They are together but do not belong, but do not belong
Yes ladies and gentlemen
Let's fall asleep to a plastic lullaby
The ballad of
Kate and
Johnny
The ballad of
Adam and
Naomi
The ballad of
Michael and
Helena
The ballad is forever changing
She's so passive but happy in her way
He's so passive but happy in his way
They do nothing just sit and they pretend
They sit around and pray for it to end, pray for it to end
Yes ladies and gentlemen
Let's fall asleep to a plastic lullaby
The ballad of
Kate and
Johnny
The ballad of
Adam and
Naomi
The ballad of
Hugh and
Elizabeth
The ballad is forever changing
I'm so passive
A hopeless fucking mess
We're so passive
Do our bid for charity
From
Bosnia to
London
We do it all for free
We do it all for free(c) 1996
