The Passions were a British post-punk band which formed in 1978 and disbanded in 1983. They were considered one-hit wonders due to their early 1981 single "I'm in Love with a German Film Star".
Based in Shepherds Bush, west London, The Passions' music was grounded mainly in Barbara Gogan's voice and Clive Timperley's delicate Echoplex guitar work. Before forming in 1978, most of the Passions' members had played in other groups. Timperley was formerly with the 101ers, while drummer Richard Williams and singer/guitarist Barbara Gogan were in the punk rock outfit The Derelicts. The Passions' first single, issued in March 1979, was "Needles and Pills" (written by Dack Dyde), which assisted in gaining the band a recording contract with Fiction Records.
Michael & Miranda, the band's debut album, was released in 1980. Singles "Hunted" and "The Swimmer" were followed by their major charting song, "I'm in Love with a German Film Star". Before "The Swimmer" was issued, Bidwell and Barker left the band, the former joining The Wall. David Agar took over bass guitar duties. The band's second album, 30,000 Feet Over China, was released in August 1981, including previously released A-sides and several brand new recordings.
I don't wanna have to be your friend
I'm so tired of tryin' to be your friend
I don't wanna have to be your friend, no anymore
What is happening my friend?
You see I use the term so loosely these days
Seems we're headed towards the end
Soon to be parting our ways
Cuz' you've never done a thing for someone else
unless you thought that you could help yourself
And now the day is here when you have found
you finally need the help of someone else
But they won't help
Cuz' what you do, you know it's always just for you
So I don't care about you anymore
I don't wanna have to be your friend
I'm so tired of tryin' to be your friend
I don't wanna have to be your friend, no anymore
When it really doesn't matter what I say
Cuz' you're never gonna listen to me anyways
Well, I don't wanna have to be your friend, no anymore
It seems you've fallen once again
Like you've done a thousand times before
And now you need a certain friend, someone you can count on
But I don't wanna be the one who's always
gonna have to make it up to you
And I don't wanna be responsible for all the stupid little
things you say, and things you do
Cuz' what you did, it seems you've messed up once again
So I don't care about you anymore
You call me late at night when things are not all right
You need someone to get you through again
You need a helping hand, someone who understands
You're begging and pleading but this time I'm not dealing
Cuz' I walked this road with you too many times before
And I realize now that this is not what I want anymore
I don't wanna be your friend
