Lyrics

Love that's a success Whose efficiency brings happiness Calculation's true caress: The power of love's tenderness Will turn to form unless Efficiency tempers romanticness

Love can be misery and ridicule; The hope that elevates the fool; The pathos that precedes misrule Romantic love is and remains Like picking roses in the rain

Love is fantastic schemes and goo Efficiency will see things through Love is whispering, 'I do.' Efficiency's asking, 'How?' and 'Who?'

Without love there is no weakness Without love there is no storm or stress

'Abandoned love, impassioned love That, ever strong, did keep — That for the joy of one The other did weep' ... is weak

This love for gentler times is meant; Efficiency inspires détente Efficiency is fortune and fame; The circumspect don't go insane It provides all that either side could want Beyond obsession and immortality; Peaceful co-existence for you and me

Chronology

Interpretations

Art & Language, 1981[1]

This is a love song for Social Democrats based on an idea of J.V. Stalin’s.

Art & Language, 1981[2]

Rock music is resistant to internal complexity, to lyrical and musical representations which might entail discursivity in the producer and the co-producer-the hearer. Such discursivity may produce the possibility of reflected interpretation outside its sanitary and productive canons. 'The Principles Of Party Organisation' is a love song written especially for Social Democrats.
