In Chains




author: Martin Gore




The way you move


Has got me yearning


The way you move


Has left me burning


I know you know what you're doing to me


I know my hands will never be free


I know what it's like to be


In chains




***




The way you move


Is meant to haunt me


The way you move


To tempt and taunt me


I know you knew on the day you were born


I know somehow I should have been warned


I know I walk every midnight till dawn


In chains




***




In chains, I'm in chains


In chains, I'm in chains




***




You've got me dying for you


It's you that I'm living through


You've got me praying to you


Saying to you


Anything you want me to


You've got me reaching for you


My soul's beseeching me to


You've got me singing to you


Bringing to you


Anything you ask me to




***




The way you move


Is mesmerising


The way you move


Is hypnotising


I know I crumble when you are around


Stutter, mumble, a pitiful sound


Stagger, stumble, shackled and bound


In chains




***




In chains, I'm in chains


In chains, I'm in chains




***




You've got me dying for you


It's you that I'm living through


You've got me praying to you


Saying to you


Anything you want me to


You've got me reaching for you


My soul's beseeching me too


You've got me singing to you


Bringing to you


Anything you ask me to




***




I'm in chains




***




In chains, I'm in chains


In chains, I'm in chains


In chains, I'm in chains









Hole To Feed




author: Dave Gahan, Christian Eigner, Andrew Phillpott




We are here


We can love


We share something


I'm sure that you mean the world to me




***




Your name was the one


That was always chosen


Your words and their kindness


Have set me free




***




Shame has a hold


That's kept us frozen


You opened my eyes to a world


That I could believe




***




Words can leave you


Broken inside


You'll have to decide


I'm hanging on to my pride




***




We are here


We can love


We share something


I'm sure that you mean the world to me


When you get what you need


There's no way of knowing


What you'll have


Is another hole to feed




***




The games that were played


Have left us hoping


The gift that we have - the life


That we breathe




***




This world can leave you


Broken inside


With nowhere to hide


I'm hanging on to my pride




***




We are here


We've been chosen


We've been blessed with a place


We need to find and then open




***




We are here


We can love


We share something


I'm sure that you mean the world to me


When you get what you need


There's no way of knowing


What you'll have


Is another hole to feed









Wrong




author: Martin Gore




Wrong


Wrong




***




Wrong




***




Wrong




***




I was born with the wrong sign


In the wrong house


With the wrong ascendancy


I took the wrong road


That led to


The wrong tendencies


I was in the wrong place


At the wrong time


For the wrong reason


And the wrong rhyme


On the wrong day


Of the wrong week


Used the wrong method


With the wrong technique


Wrong




***




Wrong




***




There's something wrong with me chemically


Something wrong with me inherently


The wrong mix


In the wrong genes


I reached the wrong ends


By the wrong means


It was the wrong plan


In the wrong hands


The wrong theory


For the wrong man


The wrong eyes


On the wrong prize


The wrong questions


With the wrong replies




***




Wrong




***




Wrong




***




I was marching to the wrong drum


With the wrong scum


Pissing out the wrong energy


Using all the wrong lines


And the wrong signs


With the wrong intensity


I was on the wrong page


Of the wrong book


With the wrong rendition


Of the wrong look


With the wrong moon


Every wrong night


With the wrong tune playing


Till it sounded right, yeah




***




Wrong




***




Wrong




***




I was born with the wrong sign


In the wrong house


With the wrong ascendancy


I took the wrong road


That led to


The wrong tendencies


I was in the wrong place


At the wrong time


For the wrong reason


And the wrong rhyme


On the wrong day


Of the wrong week


Used the wrong method


With the wrong technique




***




Wrong




***




Wrong




***




Too long








Fragile Tension




author: Martin Gore




There's a fragile tension


That's keeping us going


It may not last forever


But oh when it's flowing




***




There's something magical in the air


Something so tragic we have to care




***




There's a strange obsession


That's drawing us nearer


We don't understand it


It never gets clearer




***




There's something mystical in our genes


So simplistic it kicks and screams




***




Oh when we're teetering


On the edge of collapse


Nothing can keep us down




***




There's a dizzying feeling


That's keeping us flying


Through glittering galas


Without even trying




***




There's something radical in our hands


Nothing logical to our plans









Little Soul




author: Martin Gore




My little light


Is going to shine


Shine out so bright


And illuminate your mind


My little soul will leave a footprint




***




This little voice


Is going to sing


I have no choice


It will infinitely ring


My little soul will leave a footprint




***




I'm channelling the universe


That's focusing itself


Inside of me


A singularity




***




My little words


Are going to sting


Haven't you heard


The pain and joy they bring


My little soul will leave a footprint




***




I'm channelling the universe


That's focusing itself


Inside of me


A singularity




***




Your little eyes


They're going to see


I can't disguise


The beauty inside me


My little soul will leave a footprint









In Sympathy




author: Martin Gore




They're almost falling over you


Why don't they call a truce


Whatever they are trying to do


It's of little use




***




They're drowning you in compliments


Trying to furnish proof


And though they speak with eloquence


There is little truth




***




You're bright, you're strong


You know your right from wrong


At least to some degree


You're wise, you're tough


You've heard their lies enough


You smile in sympathy




***




I'm watching your serenity


The way your soul transcends


Their tedious obscenities


Your patience never ends




***




And as the night begins to fade


You're heading for the door


Followed by a sad parade


You're on your own once more




***




You're bright, you're strong


You know your right from wrong


At least to some degree


You're wise, you're tough


You've heard their lies enough


You smile in sympathy




***




You're bright, you're strong


You know your right from wrong


At least to some degree


You're wise, you're tough


You've heard their lies enough


You smile in sympathy









Peace




author: Martin Gore




Peace will come to me


Peace will come to me




***




I'm leaving bitterness


Behind this time


I'm cleaning out my mind


There is no space


For the regrets


I will remember to forget




***




Just look at me


I am walking love incarnate


Look at the frequencies


At which I vibrate


I'm going to light up the world




***




Peace will come to me


Peace will come to me




***




I'm leaving anger in the past


With all the shadows


That it cast


There is a radar in my heart


I should have trusted


From the start




***




Just look at me


I'm a living act of holiness


Giving all the positivity


That I possess


I'm going to light up the world




***




Peace will come to me


Just wait and see


Peace will come to me


It's meant to be


Peace will come to me


Just wait and see


Peace will come to me


It's an inevitability









Come Back




author: Dave Gahan, Christian Eigner, Andrew Phillpott




Come back, come back to me


I'll be waiting, patiently


Come back, come back to me


I'll be waiting here patiently




***




Walking a thin white line between love and hate


Wasting all of my time in another world


In another place


I could use a little company


A little kindness could go a long way




***




Weeks turn into months


Months turn into years


Reaching the same conclusions


Gathering up the fear




***




Come back, come back to me


I'll be waiting, patiently


Come back, come back to me


I'll be waiting here patiently




***




Light will always shine in the heart of you


In truth and in reality


Only blindness can hide it away


I could use a little restraint


A little kindness can go a long way




***




Weeks turn into months


Months turn into years


Reaching the same conclusions


Gathering up the fear


Living the same delusion


Gathering up the fear


Gathering up the fear


Gathering up the fear


Gathering up the fear




***




Come back


Come back


Come back


Come back


Come back









Spacewalker

Perfect




author: Martin Gore




On another world by another star


At another place and time


In another state of consciousness


In another state of mind




***




Everything was almost perfect


Everything fell into place


The jury reached a different verdict


Before the judge dismissed the case




***




In a parallel universe


That's happening right now


Things between us must be worse


But it's hard to see just how




***




And everything could have been perfect


Everything in the right place


Then I wouldn't have to play the suspect


Accused, abandoned and disgraced




***




I didn't shoot, I didn't pull the trigger


It wasn't me I'm just a plain and simple singer


I heard the sound, I turned my head around


To watch our love shot down




***




In another lonely universe


We're laying side by side


And no one's hurt and no one's cursed


And no one needs to hide




***




And everything is almost perfect


Everything is almost right


There are never any conflicts


There are never any fights









Miles Away / The Truth Is




author: Dave Gahan, Christian Eigner, Andrew Phillpott




It's one of those conversations we've, we've had them before


The ones that leave you empty and wanting for more


Your eyes they tell me something that I understand


Your eyes they hold the truth and the truth is


You're miles away


You're miles away


You're miles away




***




Excuse me for my hesitation I've, I've met you before


Your face seems so familiar and longing for more


Your eyes they tell me something that I understand


Your eyes they hold the truth and the truth is


You're miles away


You're miles away


You're miles away




***




With all your superstitions and empty lines


I could be just like you


Withdrawn but alive




***




Life it has it's limitations we all have our needs


Love could be the only answer it lies underneath


Your eyes they tell me something that I understand


Your eyes they hold the truth and the truth is




***




You're miles away









Jezebel




author: Martin Gore




They call you Jezebel


Whenever we walk in


You're going straight to hell


For wanton acts of sin


They say


And that I'll have to pay


But I need you


Just this way




***




They call you Jezebel


For what you like to wear


You're morally unwell


They say you'll never care


For me


But what they fail to see


Is that your games


Are the key




***




Open their eyes to the beauty


Open their hearts to the fun


Open their minds to the idea


That you don't own someone




***




They call you Jezebel


Whenever men walk by


They say that they can tell


The longing in your eyes


Is real


And how you really feel


But they can't see


Your appeal




***




Jezebel!









Corrupt




author: Martin Gore




I could corrupt you


In a heartbeat


You think you're so special


Think you're so sweet


What are you trying


Don't even tempt me


Soon you'll be crying


And wishing you'd dreamt me




***




You'll be calling out my name


When you need someone to blame




***




I could corrupt you


It would be easy


Watching you suffer


Girl, it would please me


But I wouldn't touch you


With my little finger


I know it would crush you


My memory would linger




***




You'd be crying out in pain


Begging me to play my games




***




I could corrupt you


It would be ugly


They could sedate you


But what good would drugs be


But I wouldn't touch you


Put my hands on your hips


It would be too much to


Place my lips on your lips




***




You'd be calling out my name


Begging me to play my games

Light




release: Deluxe Box Set Edition / author: Martin Gore




Take my hand


And walk in the light


Understand, there's a fire to ignite


You know we have a responsibility


It's true we've been chosen


And now we have the possibility


Of melting what's frozen




***




Walk with me with the rapture inside


Can't you see it's not our place to decide


You know we have to make a case for love


It's more of a duty


It's clear we have a mission from above


A mission of beauty




***




You know I wouldn't lie to you


What would I achieve by that


It's more than I would try to do


These are the facts




***




Take your place here


With love in your heart


Just embrace what you've known from the start


We are fulfilling our only destiny


The angels have spoken


And all the gods in the universe agree


The spell can't be broken









The Sun And The Moon And The Stars




release: Deluxe Box Set Edition / author: Martin Gore




One subtle look


God help me


Is all it took


To sell me


One single word


Unspoken


Your name unheard


And I'm broken




***




The sun and the moon


and the stars in the sky are laughing


They've seen it all before


For the wind in the trees


and the waves on the seas


It's the same thing


They can't take any more




***




One gentle touch


and I'm helpless


It's all too much


For my senses


One simple prayer


Denied me


When you're not there


Beside me




***




The sun and the moon


and the stars in the sky are laughing


They've seen it all before


For the wind in the trees


And the waves on the seas


It's the same thing


They can't take any more









Ghost




release: Deluxe Box Set Edition / author: Martin Gore




I'm the ghost in your house


Calling your name


My memory lingers


You'll never be the same


I'm the hole in your heart


I'm the stain in your bed


The phantom in your fingers


The voices in your head




***




One touch is all it took


To draw you in


To leave you hooked


One kiss, you paid the price


You had a taste


Of paradise




***




Now you're running in circles


Chasing imaginary footsteps


Reaching for shadows


In the bed where I once slept




***




I'm the ghost in your house


Calling your name


My memory lingers


You'll never be the same


I'm the hole in your heart


I'm the stain in your bed


The phantom in your fingers


The voices in your head




***




One thought is all it takes


You lose control


You make mistakes


This pain will never leave


Until I die


You'll always grieve




***




Now you're falling to pieces


Seeing my face wherever you go


Talking to strangers


From a place they'll never know

Oh Well

Oh you've got a way about you


Oh I know so much about you


Girl




***




Life won't be the same without you


Life will surely be the one to tell




***




Listen to what she's trying to tell you


She could be the one who's going to save you




***




Oh well


Oh well




***




Life won't be the same without you


Life will surely be the one to tell




***




It's nothing to feel ashamed about


Nothing I can complain about




***




Oh well


Oh well


Oh well


Oh well




***




Wooooaaaa mumma




***




Listen to what she's trying to tell you


She could be the one who's going to save you




***




Oh well


Oh well

It's nothing to feel ashamed about


Nothing I can complain about




***




O-oh well


Oh well

Oh you've got a way about you


Oh I know so much about you


Girl




***




Life won't be the same without you


Life will surely be the one to tell

Life won't be the same without you


Life will surely be the one to tell
