Passion Killer Songtext
von Chris Difford

Who′d want to box out in the ring
And feel their head begin to sting
Young boys meet in empty halls
Their fathers have them by the balls
They drive them to the match each week
So they can fight and knock out teeth
It's underground like fighting dogs
Who′d ever really want to box?

Who'd ever want to own a gun?
Who'd ever want to be the one
To show it off to all the crew
So they can know to worship you
To walk around and be its friend
When it goes off it is the end
There is no place for you to run
Who′d ever want to own a gun?


Who′d wanna fight out in a war
And not know what you're fighting for
Your name is mentioned in the news
When you get blown out of your shoes
When you′re flown home and laid to rest
They'll pin a medal to your chest
The kids won′t see you anymore
Who'd wanna fight and go to war?

Who′d want to be you?
Who'd want to be me?
I think I'm unique
I think I′m happy
Who′d want to be you?
Who'd want to be me?
Leave me alone and love me

Who′d wanna sit and burn a flame
On dirty spoons with little grains
You've pissed your pants and on all fours
You think it′s great but are you sure?
This is the way a mum should be
A little baby on your knee
Addicted to the dark of pain
Who'd wanna sit and burn that flame?


Who′d want you for a bride to be
When you get drunk and sleep with me
He waits for you with his best man
And I'm not here although I am
Each day gets stronger in our lives
Behind our backs the sharper knives
When all our friends queue up to see
Who'd want you for a bride to be?

Who′d want to be you?
Who′d want to be me?
I think I'm unique
I think I′m happy
Who'd want to be you?
Who′d want to be me?
Leave me alone and love me

Leave me alone and love me
Leave me alone and love me
Leave me alone and love me
Leave me alone and love me
Leave me alone and love me
Leave me alone and love me
