Catching Up With Depeche Mode
|
1. Dreaming of Me
Light switch, man switch
Film was broken only then
All the night, viewed tomorrow
Dancing with a distant friend
Filming and screening, I picture the scene
Filming and dreaming, dreaming of me
So we left, understanding
Clean cut, some were sounding fast
Talked of sad, I talked of war
I laughed and climbed the rising cast
Filming and screening, I picture the scene
Filming and dreaming, dreaming of me
Quickly, I remember
Viewed that sort of face before
Timing reason, understanding
Like Association Hall
Filming and screening, I picture the scene
Filming and dreaming, dreaming of me
Dreaming of me (Oooh, la la la ...)
Just dreaming of me
Itīs only me
Just me
2. New Life
I stand still stepping on the shady streets
And I watch that man to a stranger
You think you only know me when you turn on the light
Now the room is lit with danger
Complicating, circulating
New life, new life
Operating, generating
New life, new life
Transition to another place
So the time will pass more slowly
Your features fuse and your shadowīs red
Like a film Iīve seen now show me
Complicating, circulating
New life, new life
Operating, generating
New life, new life
Your face is hidden and weīre out of sight
And the road just leads to nowhere
The stranger in the door is the same as before
So the question answerīs nowhere
Complicating, circulating
New life, new life
Operating, generating
New life, new life
I stand still stepping on the shady streets
And I watch that man to a stranger
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
3. Just Canīt Get Enough
When Iīm with you baby, I go out of my head
And I just canīt get enough, I just canīt get enough
All the things you do to me and everything you said
And I just canīt get enough, I just canīt get enough
We slip and slide as we fall in love
And I just canīt seem to get enough
We walk together, weīre walking down the street
And I just canīt get enough, I just canīt get enough
Every time I think of you I know we have to meet
And I just canīt get enough, I just canīt get enough
Itīs getting hotter, itīs our burning love
And I just canīt seem to get enough
And when it rains, youīre shining down for me
And I just canīt get enough, I just canīt get enough
Just like a rainbow you know you set me free
And I just canīt get enough, I just canīt get enough
Youīre like an angel and you give me your love
And I just canīt seem to get enough
4. See You
All I want to do is see you again
Is that too much to ask for?
I just want to see your sweet smile
Smiled the way it was before
Well Iīll try not to hold you
And Iīll try not to kiss you
And I wonīt even touch you
All I want to do is see you
Donīt you know that itīs true
I remember the days when weīd walk through the woods
And sit on a bench for a while
I treasure the way we used to laugh and play
And look in each others eyes
You can keep me at a distance if you donīt trust my resistance
But I swear I wonīt touch you
All I want to do is see you
Donīt you know that itīs true
Well I know five years is a long time
And that times change (oh that times change)
But I think that you will find
People are basically the same (basically the same)
If the waterīs still flowing, we can go for a swim
And do the things we used to do
And if Iīm reluctant you can pull me in
And we can relive our youth
Oh but weīll stay friendly like sister and brother
Though I think I still love you
All I want to do is see you
Donīt you know that itīs true?
5. The Meaning of Love
Iīve read more than a hundred books
Seen love mentioned many thousand times
But despite all the places Iīve looked
Itīs still no clearer itīs just not enough
Iīm still no nearer the meaning of love
Noted down all my observations
Spent an evening watching television
Still I couldnīt say with precision
Know itīs a feeling and it comes from above
But whatīs the meaning, the meaning of love?
The meaning of love
Tell me the meaning of love
From the notes that Iīve made so far
Love seems something like wanting a scar
But I could be wrong, Iīm just not sure you see,
Iīve never been in love before
Next I asked several friends of mine
If they could spare a few minutes of their time
Their look suggested that Iīd lost my mind
Tell me the answer, my Lord high above
Tell me the meaning, the meaning of love
The meaning of love
Tell me the meaning of love
From the notes that Iīve made so far
Love seems something like wanting a scar
But I could be wrong, Iīm just not sure you see,
Iīve never been in love before
Tell me the meaning of love
6. Love, In Itself
All of these insurmountable tasks
That lay before me
All of the firsts and the definite lasts
That lay in store for me
There was a time
When all on my mind was love
Now I find that most of the time
Loveīs not enough in itself
Consequently, Iīve a tendency to be unhappy
You see the thoughts in my head
All the words that were said
All the blues and the reds get to me
There was a time
When all on my mind was love
Now I find that most of the time
Loveīs not enough in itself
All of these absurdities
That lay before us
All of the doubts and the certainties
That lay in store for us
There was a time
When all on my mind was love (love love love)
Now I find that most of the time
Loveīs not enough in itself
7. Master and Servant
Thereīs a new game
We like to play you see
A game with added reality
You treat me like a dog
Get me down on my knees
We call it master and servant
We call it master and servant
Itīs a lot like life
This play between the sheets
With you on top and me underneath
Forget all about equality
Letīs play master and servant
Letīs play master and servant
Itīs a lot like life
And thatīs whatīs appealing
If you despise that throwaway feeling
From disposable fun
Then this is the one
Dominationīs the name of the game
In bed or in life
Theyīre both just the same
Except in one youīre fulfilled
At the end of the day
Letīs play master and servant
Letīs play master and servant
Letīs play master and servant
Come on, master and servant
8. Blasphemous Rumours
Girl of sixteen, whole life ahead of her
Slashed her wrists, bored with life
Didnīt succeed, thank the Lord
For small mercies
Fighting back the tears, mother reads the note again
Sixteen candles burn in her mind
She takes the blame, itīs always the same
She goes down on her knees and prays
I donīt want to start any blasphemous rumours
But I think that Godīs got a sick sense of humor
And when I die I expect to find Him laughing
Girl of eighteen, fell in love with everything
Found new life in Jesus Christ
Hit by a car, ended up
On a life support machine
Summerīs day, as she passed away
Birds were singing in the summer sky
Then came the rain, and once again
A tear fell from her motherīs eye
I donīt want to start any blasphemous rumours
But I think that Godīs got a sick sense of humor
And when I die I expect to find Him laughing
9. Somebody
I want somebody to share
Share the rest of my life
Share my innermost thoughts
Know my intimate details
Someone whoīll stand by my side
And give me support
And in return
Sheīll get my support
She will listen to me
When I want to speak
About the world we live in
And life in general
Though my views may be wrong
They may even be perverted
Sheīll hear me out
And wonīt easily be converted
To my way of thinking
In fact sheīll often disagree
But at the end of it all
She will understand me
Aaaahhhhh....
I want somebody who cares
For me passionately
With every thought and
With every breath
Someone whoīll help me see things
In a different light
All the things I detest
I will almost like
I donīt want to be tied
To anyoneīs strings
Iīm carefully trying to steer clear of
Those things
But when Iīm asleep
I want somebody
Who will put their arms around me
And kiss me tenderly
Though things like this
Make me sick
In a case like this
Iīll get away with it
Aaaahhhhh....
10. Shake the Disease
Iīm not going down on my knees,
Begging you to adore me
Canīt you see itīs misery
And torture for me
When Iīm misunderstood
Try as hard as you can, Iīve tried as hard as I could
To make you see
How important it is for me
Here is a plea
From my heart to you
Nobody knows me
As well as you do
You know how hard it is for me
To shake the disease
That takes hold of my tongue
In situations like these
Understand me
Some people have to be
Permanently together
Lovers devoted to
Each other forever
Now Iīve got things to do
And Iīve said before that I know you have too
When Iīm not there
In spirit Iīll be there
Here is a plea
From my heart to you
Nobody knows me
As well as you do
You know how hard it is for me
To shake the disease
That takes hold of my tongue
In situations like these
Understand me
11. Flexible
Fame can have strange effects
Money can have strange effects
I ask myself, is it a sin
To be flexible when the boat comes in
Open the window and out go ideals
Drink can alter you
Girls can have strange effect too
I ask myself, is it a sin
To be flexible when the boat comes in
Open the window and out go ideals
We all know boats donīt last
We all know cars are fast
I ask myself, is it a sin
To be flexible when the boat comes in
Open the window and out go ideals
12. Itīs Called a Heart
Thereīs something beating here inside my body
And itīs called a heart
You know how easy it is to tear it apart
If I lend it to you, would you keep it safe for me
Iīll lend it to you, will you treat it tenderly
Thereīs something beating here inside my body
And itīs called a heart
Thereīs a sun shining in the sky
But thatīs not the reason why Iīm feeling warm inside
The answer isnīt classified- itīs my heart
From the moment I started
I tried to be good about it
Yes Iīve tried my best
And more or less, I spoke from my heart
Thereīs a lot to be learned
And you learn when your heart gets burned
Thereīs something beating here inside my body
And itīs called a heart
You know how easy it is to tear it apart
If I lend it to you, would you keep it safe for me
Iīll lend it to you, will you treat it tenderly
Thereīs something beating here inside my body
And itīs called a heart
Hearts can never be owned
Hearts only come on loan
If I want it back
I will take it back
Iīll take my heart
But I will try my best
And more or less
I will speak from my heart
Yes, I will speak from my heart
Speak from my heart
Thereīs a lot to be learned
And you learn when your heart gets burned
Thereīs something beating here inside my body
And itīs called a heart
You know how easy it is to tear it apart
If I lend it to you, would you keep it safe for me
Iīll lend it to you, will you treat it tenderly
Thereīs something beating here inside my body
And itīs called a heart
13. Fly on the Windscreen
Death is everywhere
There are flies on the windscreen
For a start
Reminding us
We could be torn apart
Tonight
Death is everywhere
There are lambs for the slaughter
Waiting to die
And I can sense
The hours slipping by
Tonight
Come here
Kiss me
Now
Come here
Kiss me
Now
Death is everywhere
The more I look
The more I see
The more I feel
A sense of urgency
Tonight
Come here (touch me)
Kiss me (touch me)
Now (touch me)
(touch me)
There are flies on the windscreen
There are lambs for the slaughter
There are flies on the windscreen
Come here (touch me)
Kiss me (touch me)
Now (touch me)
(touch me)
Come here (touch me)
Kiss me (touch me)
Now (touch me)
(touch me)
