Any Second Now








New Life




author: Vince Clarke




I stand still stepping on the shady streets


And I watched that man to a stranger


You think you only know me when you turn on the light


Now the room is lit, red danger




***




Complicating, circulating


New life, new life


Operating, generating


New life, new life




***




Transitions to another place


Features fuse and your shadow's red


Like a film I've seen now show me




***




Your face is hidden and were out of sight


And the road just leads to nowhere


The stranger in the door is the same as before


So the question answers nowhere




***




I stand still stepping on the shady streets


And I watched that man to a stranger




***




You think you only know me when you turn on the light


Now the room is lit, red danger








I Sometimes Wish I Were Dead




author: Vince Clarke




New sound all around


You can hear it too


Getting hot, never stop


Just for me and you


Playing on my radio and saying that you had to go




***




New day turn away


Wipe away the tear


New night, feel right


Knowing that you're here


Dancing with you all the time, and don't you think that it's a crime




***




Back street never meet


Never say goodbye


I know where you go


But I don't know why


You say that it's from above, and I say this is modern love








Puppets




author: Vince Clarke




Get that feeling


Head is reeling


You think you're in control


But you don't know me babe


I can move you


I can soothe you


I can take you places in a different way




***




I don't think you understand


What I'm trying to say


I'll be your operator baby


I'm in control




***




Watch your action


Close reaction


And everything you're thinking babe inside your head


Conversation, my creation


Nothing that you do


You do unless I said




***




You don't know the consequences


Of the things you say


I'll be your operator baby


I'm in control




***




All the things you tried to do babe


And all the words we said before


Are only part of what I started baby


And you can't stop me anymore








Boys Say Go!




author: Vince Clarke




You don't understand


This is a demand


And I think that I have to show you


Try to look inside


Take me for a ride


In the day and the night


Get to know you




***




Boys meet boys get together


Boys meet boys live forever


Don't say no


Boys say go




***




I can run away


If you never stay


And the rain and the pain and the sorrow


I'm not very sure


When you close the door


If the end is the same as tomorrow




***




Boys!


Boys!


Boys say go!








Nodisco




author: Vince Clarke




I saw you in the picture


I saw you play the part


This ain't nodisco


There's a thousand watts in you


You take this too far


This ain't nodisco




***




Sometimes when I wonder if you're taking a chance


This ain't nodisco


And you know how to dance




***




Move me disco


Baby don't you let go


This ain't nodisco




***




Part one


Act one


Everyone pretend


This ain't nodisco


This is more a story


And we're reaching the end


This ain't nodisco




***




Always makes me happy when you're taking a chance


This ain't nodisco


And you know how to dance




***




Move me disco


Baby don't you let go


This ain't nodisco








What's Your Name?




author: Vince Clarke




Sometimes watch you walk the street at midnight


Sometimes I can feel you in the air


Looking good


Knew you would


All the time I understood




***




Hey, you're such a pretty boy,


Hey, you're such a pretty boy,


Hey, you're such a pretty boy,


You're so pretty




***




Everybody seems to look your way now


(Everybody seems to look your way)


Everybody wants to know your name


(Hey, hey, what's your name)


Feeling right


Just tonight


Hear them say you're out of sight




***




All the boys we got to get together


All the boys together we can stand


We can go


Never know


All the things we need to show




***




Hey you're such a pretty boy (you're so pretty)


Hey you're such a pretty boy (you're so pretty)


Hey you're such a pretty boy


You're so pretty (p-r-e, double-t-y)








Photographic




author: Vince Clarke




A white house, a white room


The program of today


Lights on, switch on


Your eyes are far away


The map represents you


And the tape is your voice


Follow all along you


Till you recognize the choice




***




I take pictures


Photographic pictures




***




Bright light


Dark room


Bright light


Dark room




***




I said I'd write a letter


But I never got the time


And I'm looking to the day


I mesmerise the light




***




The years I spend just thinking


Of a moment we both knew


A second boss looking into


It seems it can't be true








Tora! Tora! Tora!




author: Martin Gore




They were raining from the sky


Exploding in my heart


Is this a love in disguise


Or just a form of modern art




***




From the skies you could almost hear them cry


Tora Tora Tora


In the town they were going down


Tora Tora Tora




***




I had a nightmare only yesterday


You played a skeleton


You took my love then died that day


I played an American




***




From the skies you can almost hear them cry


Tora! Tora! Tora!


In the town they were going down


Tora! Tora! Tora!




***




I played an American








Big Muff

Instrumental








Any Second Now (Voices)




author: Vince Clarke




She remembered all the shadows and the doubts


The same film


Vivid pictures like a wall that's standing empty


And the night so still


Such a small affair a relapse someone closing


Like the nightclub door


Here again and when you speak I watch you move away


And seem so sure




***




She is hoping to forget and the moment


Almost slips away


When the colours move apart and I wonder


If you want to stay


And I need to change you like the words I'm reading


Don't you understand


This the warning and the message I remember


As you touch my hand





Just Can't Get Enough




author: Vince Clarke




When I'm with you baby


I go out of my head


And I just can't get enough


And I just can't get enough


All the things you do to me


And everything you said


I just can't get enough


I just can't get enough




***




We slip and slide as we fall in love


And I just can't seem to get enough of




***




We walk together


We're walking down the street


And I just can't get enough


And I just can't get enough


Every time I think of you


I know we have to meet


And I just can't get enough


I just can't get enough




***




It's getting hotter


It's a burning love


And I just can't seem to get enough of




***




And when it rains


You're shining down for me


And I just can't get enough


And I just can't get enough


Just like a rainbow


You know you set me free


And I just can't get enough


And I just can't get enough




***




You're like an angel


And you give me your love


And I just can't seem to get enough of

Dreaming Of Me




release: CDStumm5 UK (1988) / author: Vince Clarke




Light switch


Man switch


Film was broken only then


All the night


Fused tomorrow


Dancing with a distant friend




***




Filming and screning


I picture the scene


Filming and dreaming


Dreaming of me




***




So we left


Understanding


Cleancut so we're sounding fast


Talked of sad


I talked of war


I laughed and climbed the rising cast




***




Quickly I remembered


Fused and saw a face before


Timing reason


Understanding


Like association hall








Ice Machine




release: CDStumm5 UK (1988) / author: Vince Clarke




Running through my head secretly


The shouts of the boys in the factory


I ring you on the telephone silently


Like blood, like the wine in the darkroom scene




***




The darkroom scene


Darkroom scene




***




A letter


Once composed


Seven years long and as tall as a tree


Reading


On the wall


Emissions, efficiency




***




Efficiency


Efficiency




***




Resurrect


As a feeling


On my window


Of a past reunion




***




Resurrect


As a feeling


On my window


Of a past reunion


Vision


Of a picture


Like the city


And the air we breathe




***




The air we breathe


Air we breathe




***




She stood beside me once again


I knew her face


We met before in the street


Recalling all the children dancing at our feet




***




The dancing feet, dancing feet








Shout




release: CDStumm5 UK (1988) / author: Vince Clarke




She was silent trying to be


Like the girl who acted on the TV


Always knowing when to say


Wishing for a moment so that they could see




***




Staring in the night


A picture in my room


And I think that she knew her lines




***




Break away tonight


I wanna hold your hand


We've got to get it right


We've got to understand




***




Carefully watching waiting as I


Stood upon the back streets and we start to play


I was screaming louder as the


Curtains fall between us in a twisted way




***




Staring in the night


A picture in my room


And I think that she knew her lines




***




Break away tonight


I wanna hold your hand


We've got to get it right


We've got to understand




***




Placing all the questions in the


Minutes of a game we won so long ago


Dangerous and beautiful the


Radio transmission that I have to know




***




You could never run


You could never stay


And I think you belong to me




***




Break away tonight


I wanna hold your hand


We've got to get it right


We've got to understand








Any Second Now
