Passive Aggressive

This song just came to me from nowhere really with the first line in the lyric - I just started humming 'she's a heart breaking lover and you'll never get another'. I strummed a few chords to it and it grew from there. The title came after I realised the song was about a battle of wills, for example you know how somebody moves something and you move it back then you return and it's moved again, that sort of thing. I thought I'd take it up to a metaphysical level and have a power struggle with souls, which may sound like a load of pretentious crap, but I thought it would raise the subject above pure pettiness. The drumming is really good on this track.

Hitchcock Moments: I sing a duet with Wendelynne on the 'How do you think it feels' part, plus some other backing vocals and the handclaps.

'One take' Jake at home on the skins entertaining the neighbours with his drumming skills - they especially love the long solo's.

Passive Aggressive (Pearce)

She's a heartbreaking lover; she can fake it like no other
She's a heartbreaking lover; better keep her under cover
She's a heartbreaking lover; and you'll never get another
Breaking you down by degrees
Passive aggressive deceives
First she loves you then she leaves
Devouring your soul as she feeds
Filling your head up with greed - with greed!
She's a heartbreaking lover she can fake it like your mother
She's a heartbreaking lover better keep her under cover
She's a heartbreaking lover and you'll never get another

  • oh, oh, oh, passive aggressive, oh, oh, oh,
  • better get on message oh, oh, oh-oh
She's a heartbreaking lover; she can take it like no other
She's a heartbreaking lover; better keep her under cover
She's a heartbreaking lover; and you'll never get another
Breaking you down by degrees
Passive aggressive deceives
First she loves you then she leaves
Scatters your love on the breeze
Filling your heart with disease - with disease!
Devouring your soul as she feeds impregnating you with her seed
Devouring your soul as she feeds impregnating you with her seed
Devouring your soul as she feeds!
Tell me how does it feel - to be real?
And tell me how does it feel to be alone in your head?
And tell me how does it feel to sleep alone in your bed?
And tell me how does it feel to be real
Tell me how does it feel - to be real?
She's a heartbreaking lover
She can fake it like no other
She's a heartbreaking lover
Better keep her under cover - oh, oh, oh, passive aggressive (etc)
She's a heartbreaking lover
And she's better than your mother
She's a heartbreaking lover
She'll leave you for another
She's a heartbreaking lover
She'll fuck you like no other
She's a heartbreaking lover
And she'll leave you for your mother - Repeat over and adlib to end fade.
