The Operative Lyrics


You were never found to be backward
Or wanting in any way
You were hidden so cleverly in love
What scheme did you obey!And I know why you go so slowYou had such strange disappointments
Too bare against the paint
You knew the handle was broken
And your strong arm was faintAnd I know why you go so slowYour tired empire's fallen
Victim to your unease
You could make yourself so useful
If you'd get on your kneesAnd I know why you go so slow

Enjoy the lyrics !!!

Magazine were an influential British post punk band founded in 1977 by former Buzzcocks singer Howard Devoto and guitarist John McGeoch. The other members of the band's classic lineup included bassist Barry Adamson, keyboardist Dave Formula, and drummer John Doyle. The band burst onto the scene with the single Shot by Both Sides and released five albums before disbanding in 1981. In 2009 the band resurfaced for half a dozen live performances in the UK, with Noko (who collaborated with Devoto in the late 80s in Luxuria) filling the position of guitarist.
