Pass This On

The Knife · Deep Cuts (Extended) [2004]

I'm in love with your brother

What's his name?

I thought I'd come by to see him again

And when you two danced

Oh, what a dance

And when you two laughed

Oh, what a laugh

Has he mentioned my age love?

Or is he more into young girls with dyed black hair?

I'm in love with your brother

I thought I'd come by



I'm in love with your brother

Yes, I am

But maybe I shouldn't ask for his name

And you danced

Oh, what a dance

And you laughed

Oh, what a laugh

Does he know what I do?

And you'll pass this on, won't you?

And if I ask him once what would he say?

Is he willing?

Can he play?



If I ask him once what would he say?

Is he willing? Can he play?



Does he know what I do?

And you'll pass this on, won't you?

And if I ask him once what would he say?

Is he willing? Can he play?



I wasn't really looking for some more than

Some company on the dance floor

And does he know what I do?

And you'll pass this on, won't you and



I wasn't really looking for some more than

Some company on the dance floor

And does he know what I do?

And you'll pass this on, won't you and

And you'll pass this on, won't you?

And if I ask him once what would he say?

Is he willing? Can he play?
