| Song | The Operative |
| Artist | Magazine |
| Album | Scree |
| 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 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 |
