My Cosmos Is Mine





author: Martin Gore




Don’t play with my world


Don’t mess with my mind


Don’t question my spacetime


My cosmos is mine



***



Don’t toy with my heart


Don’t knock down my shrines


Don’t alter my headlines


My cosmos is mine



***



No war, no war, no war, no war


No more, no more, no more, no more


No fear, no fear, no fear, no fear


Not here, not here, not here, not here


No rain, no clouds


No pain, no shrouds


No final breaths


No senseless deaths



***



Don’t stare at my soul


I swear it is fine


Its borders are outlined


My cosmos is mine



***



My cosmos is mine








Wogging Tongue





author: Dave Gahan and Martin Gore




You won't do well to silence me


With your words or wagging tongue


With your long tall tales to sorrow


Your song and to be sung



***



But I won't be offended


If I let them cross the great divide


Believe me, they will follow


Just to watch another angel die



***



Watch another angel die



***



You won't do well to darken me


With your secrets and your lies


With your piercing code of silence


Relax, enjoy the ride



***



I'll meet you by the river


Or maybe on the other side


You'll find it hard to swallow


When you watch another angel die



***



Watch another angel die



***



Another sun is rising


Another day has come


You can find me, I'll be waiting


Until the day is done



***



I won't be persuaded


Kiss your doubts goodbye


Everything seems hollow


When you watch another angel die



***



Watch another angel die


Watch another angel die


Watch another angel die


Watch another angel die







Ghosts Again





author: Martin Gore and Richard Butler




Wasted feelings


Broken meanings


Time is fleeting


See what it brings



***



Hellos, goodbyes, a thousand midnights


Lost in sleepless lullabies



***



Heaven's dreaming


Thoughtless thoughts, my friends


We know we'll be ghosts again



***



Sundays shining


Silver linings


Weightless hours


All my flowers



***



A place to hide the tears that you cried


Everybody says goodbye



***



Faith is sleeping


Lovers in the end


Whisper we'll be ghosts again



***



Heaven's dreaming


Thoughtless thoughts, my friends


We know we'll be ghosts again



***



Faith is sleeping


Lovers in the end


Whisper we'll be ghosts again







Don't Say You Love Me





author: Martin Gore and Richard Butler




You'll be the killer


I'll be the corpse


You'll be the thriller


And I'll be the drama, of course



***



If you play the sinner


I'll play the stain


If you play the winner


I'll be your permanent pain



***



I'll be the boredom


You, the desire


I'll be the catcalls


And you'll be the sound of the choir



***



You, anesthetic


I'll be the scream


You'll be the promise


And I'll be the end of your dreams



***



So don't say you love me


'Cause you'll never love me



***



You'll be the flowers


That some lover sent


I'll be the goodbye


Note that is hiding in them



***



You are the singer


I am the song


The tune that will linger


The bitter taste left on your tongue



***



So don't say you love me


How could you love me?



***



Your flowers and the make-believe


The secrets aid the notes you keep


The promises left on the sheets


You'll never love me


Fool your friends, believe your lies


Make amends and alibis


In the end you can't disguise


That you'll never love me



***



You'll be the killer


I'll be the corpse


You'll be the laughter


And I'll be the punchline, of course







My Favourite Stranger





author: Martin Gore and Richard Butler




Some perfect stranger


Sneaks on tip-toes


Steals my shadow


And goes where I go



***



My favourite stranger


Stands in my mirror


Puts words in my mouth


All broke and bitter



***



Some perfect stranger


My imitation


Drops my name in


My conversations



***



Some perfect stranger



***



Some perfect stranger


Speaks when I speak


Walks in my footsteps


And talks in my sleep



***



My favourite stranger


Stands where I stand


Leaves crime in my wake


And blood on my hands







Soul With Me





author: Martin Gore




I'm heading for the ever after


Leaving my problems


And the world's disasters


I'm heading for the open sky



***



I see the beauty


As the leaves start falling


Follow the light


Towards the voices calling


I'm going where the angels fly



***



And I'm taking my soul with me


And I'm taking my soul with me



***



I'm ready for the final pages


Kiss goodbye to all my earthly cages


I'm climbing up the golden stairs



***



Go sing it from the highest tower


From the morning


Till the midnight hour


I'm going where there are no cares



***



And I'm taking my soul with me


And I'm taking my soul with me







Caroline's Monkey





author: Martin Gore and Richard Butler




Caroline knows how fragile we are


With hope as our faith


We look to the stars


Caroline's monkey is crying again


There's no satisfaction


On Caroline's train



***



Caroline leaks through holes in her skin


Her promise of sweetness


Forgiveness and everything


Caroline's monkey coos in her ear


Drives like a demon


Through Caroline's tears



***



Caroline feels the ice in her veins


The minutes and hours


The naming of days


Caroline said her dreams never end


For Caroline's monkey


And Caroline's friends



***



Fading's better than failing


Falling's better than feeling


Folding's better than losing


Fixing's better than healing


Sometimes



***



Caroline's monkey claws at her back


Colder than winter


Darker than black


Caroline's monkey is hungry again


Running with scissors


On needles and pins



***



Caroline's monkey lives where she lays


Sleeps like a thief


And steals through the days


Caroline's monkey makes up all the fun


Leaves chaos and ruin


On Caroline's tongue



***



Caroline knows how fragile we are


With hope as our faith


We look to the stars


Caroline's monkey is crying again


There's no satisfaction


On Caroline's train



***



Fading's better than failing


Falling's better than feeling


Folding's better than losing


Fixing's better than healing


Sometimes







Before We Drown





author: Dave Gahan , Peter Gordeno and Christian Eigner




I've been thinking I can come back home


So how would that be, you and I alone?



***



All alone



***



I have a feeling, you're not on my side


There's a distance, between you and I


You and I



***



First we stand up, then we fall down


We have to move forward, before we drown


We drown



***



I feel so naked, standing on the shore


Are you sure?


Nothing's out there, nothing else no more


No more



***



First we stand up, then we fall down


We have to move forward, before we drown


We drown



***



We drown



***



First we stand up, then we fall down


We have to move forward, before we drown


We drown







People Are Good





author: Martin Gore




Keep telling myself


That people are good


Whisper it under my breath


So I don't forget


Keep fooling myself


That they do all they can


Sometimes they simply slip up


But it's not what they meant



***



Heaven help me


Heaven help me


Heaven help us


Heaven help us



***



Keep reminding myself


That people are good


And when they do bad things


They're just hurting inside


Keep fooling myself


That everyone cares


And they're all full of love


It's just their patience gets tried



***



Heaven help me


Heaven help me


Heaven help us


Heaven help us



***



Everything will be alright in time


It will be fine



***



'Cause people are good


Whisper it under your breath


People are good


Keep fooling yourself



***



People are good


Whisper it under your breath


People are good


Keep fooling yourself







Always You





author: Martin Gore




My love, the world's upside down


My love, no solid ground


My love, there are no more facts


My love, reality's cracked



***



And then there's you


There's always you


You're all I need to keep believing


And then there's you


There's always you


The air that keeps my spirit breathing


And then there's you


There's always you, there's always you


There's always you, there's always you


There's always you



***



My love, there are no more words


My love, life's too absurd


My love, I could not explain


My love, why insanity reigns



***



And then there's you


There's always you


The light that leads me from the darkness


And then there's you


There's always you


Your grace and holiness are endless


And then there's you


There's always you, there's always you


There's always you, there's always you


There's always you


And then there's you


There's always you, there's always you


There's always you, there's always you


There's always you







Never Let Me Go





author: Martin Gore




I'm waiting for your love


I know you'll want me


When your body's had enough


Your senses will see


There's only so much time


We have to play with


To waste it is a crime


We have so much to give



***



When uncertainty parts


You'll be ready to concede


It was plain from the start


You've been running from me


And I have been patient


I have been so calm


Bit my lips through the torment


Please fall into my arms



***



Never let me go


Never let me go



***



Watch our dreams unfold in colour


Underneath love's moon we'll wander


Never let me go


Never let me go



***



The angels will praise us


The world will seem right


We'll pull it out of the darkness


And into the light


We will be beacons


Shining so bright


Like stars in the darkness


For lovers at night



***



We will be beacons


Shining so bright


Like stars in the darkness


For lovers at night



***



Never let me go


Never let me go







Speak To Me





author: Dave Gahan , Marta Salogni, Christian Eigner and James Ford




Speak to me, and I will follow


I heard you call my name


Lying, on the bathroom floor


No one here to blame


There's a message I know can be found


I'm listening, I hear you, your sound



***



Speak to me, in a language


That I can understand


Tell me, that you're listening


Give me some kind of plan


Give me something, you'd be my drug of choice


You lead me, I follow, your voice



***



I will disappoint you


I will let you down


I need to know


You're here with me


Turn it all around


It'd be grateful, I'd follow you around


I'm listening, I'm here now, I'm found
