Depeche Mode

First topic message reminder :

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
So the time will pass more slowly
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

Happiest girl I ever knew
Happiest girl I ever knew

Wanted to feel the joy
Flow between our lips
Wanted to feel the joy
Flow between our hips

Happiest girl I ever knew
Why do you smile the smile you do

Happiest girl I ever knew

Wanted to feel the joy
Pass between our eyes
Wanted to feel the joy
Pass between our thighs

And I would have to pinch her
Just to see if she was real
Just to watch the smile fade away
And see the pain she'd feel

Wanted to feel her joy
Feel it deep within
Wanted to feel her joy
Penetrate my skin

Happiest girl I ever knew
Why do you smile the smile you do

So tired so soon
What happened to you
What happened to you
You got lost
Somewhere between
There and here
Somewhere between
So far so near
You got lost
Somewhere between
What happened to you

Someone has been removed
What happened to her
What happened to her
She got lost
Somewhere between
There and here
Somewhere between
So far so near
She got lost
Somewhere between
What happened to her

You used to be so young
Used to be so young
It was going to take so long
It had almost gone

What is his name
What is his name
What is his name
What is his name

There's more besides
Joyrides
The little house in the countryside
Understand
Learn to demand
Compromise
And sometimes lie

Get the balance right
Get the balance right

Be responsible
Respectable
Stable but gullible
Concerned and caring
Help the helpless
But always remain
Ultimately selfish

When you think you've got a hold of it all
You haven't got a hold at all
When you reach the top
Get ready to drop
Prepare yourself for the fall
You're gonna fall
It's almost predictable

Almost

Don't turn this way
Don't turn that way
Straight down the middle until next Thursday
First to the left
Then back to the right
Twist and turn 'til you've got it right

Subject: Re: Depeche Mode Mon Jul 25, 2011 6:55 am

Don't know the reason why I
Think I've been here before
This place seems so familiar
But then I can't be sure
Here comes that time again when
You'll walk right out the door
Don't tell me secrets anymore

And fools don't run away
You'll be followed another day
And all the chances that fall your way
Are in the fire on your dying day
So call me now and tell me that you're home

Can't see the sense in crying
There's too many tears to fall
My thoughts are multiplying
So I'll try to save them all

Subject: Re: Depeche Mode Mon Jul 25, 2011 6:55 am

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 effects, too

We all know boats don't last
We all know cars are fast

Subject: Re: Depeche Mode Mon Jul 25, 2011 6:56 am

Ooh, I've been dirt
And I don't care
Ooh, I've been dirt
And I don't care

'Cause I'm burning inside
'Cause I'm burning inside
I'm the fire of life
Yeah alright

Ooh, I've been hurt
And I don't care
Ooh, I've been hurt
And I don't care

'Cause I'm burning inside
'Cause I'm burning inside

And do you feel it
Said do you feel it when you touch me
I said do you feel it when you touch me

I'm a fire
Well there's a fire
Yeah, alright

It's just a burning inside
It's just a burning inside
Said do you feel it
Said do you feel it when you cut me
Said do you feel it when you cut me

There's a fire
There's a fire
A fire
Inside

It was just a dreaming

Subject: Re: Depeche Mode Mon Jul 25, 2011 6:56 am

Well I'm knocking on Death's door
Will I take my rest, among the blessed
Mother are you waiting
Father are you pacing
I'm coming home

I'm knocking on Death's door
Will I take my rest, in my Sunday best
Mother are you anxious
Father are you gracious
I'm coming home

I've been away too long
For so long you've been strong
I've been away too long
I know that it was wrong
But I'm coming home

Well I'm knocking on Death's door
Will I take my rest, have I passed the test
Mother are you praying
Father I am saying
I'm coming home

Subject: Re: Depeche Mode Mon Jul 25, 2011 6:56 am

The things you do
Aren't good for my health
The moves you make
You make for yourself
The means you use
Aren't meant to confuse
Although they do
They're the ones that I would choose

And I wouldn't want it any other way
You wouldn't let me anyway

Dangerous
The way you leave me wanting more
Dangerous
That's what I want you for
Dangerous
When I am in your arms
Dangerous
Know I will come to harm

The lies you tell
Aren't meant to deceive
They're not there
For me to believe
I've heard
Your vicious words
You know by now
It takes a lot to see me hurt

And I couldn't take it any other way
But there's a price I have to pay

Subject: Re: Depeche Mode Mon Jul 25, 2011 6:56 am

Charms in limited supply
And refusing to stretch
That indefinable nothing
Somehow keeps pushing you
Finding the right words
Can be a problem
How many times must it be said
There's no plan
It had to happen

Got to move on sometime
And it's about time
By putting one foot in front on another
And repeating the process
Cross over the street
You're free to change your mind
Strength through diversity
Couldn't have put it more plainly
Got to move on sometime
Got to move on sometime
Got to move on sometime
Got to move on sometime

Charms in limited supply
Under threat of extinction
That indefinable nothing
Somehow motivates you
Finding the right words
Can be a problem
How many times must it be said
There's no plan
It had to happen

Got to move on sometime
And it's about time
By putting one foot in front on another
And repeating the process
Cross over the street
You're free to change your mind
Strength through diversity

Couldn't have put it more plainly
Got to move on sometime

Subject: Re: Depeche Mode Mon Jul 25, 2011 6:56 am

Maybe I'm still hurting
I can't turn the other cheek
But you know that I still love you
It's just that I can't speak
I looked for you in everyone
And they called me on that too
I lived alone but I was only
Coming back to you

Ah they're shutting down the factory now
Just when all the bills are due
And the fields they're under lock and key
Though the rain and the sun come through
And springtime starts but then it stops
In the name of something new
And all the senses rise against this
Coming back to you

And they're handing down my sentence now
And I know what I must do
Another mile of silence while I'm
Coming back to you

There are many in your life
And many still to be
Since you are a shining light
There's many that you'll see
But I have to deal with envy
When you choose the precious few
Who've left their pride on the other side of
Coming back to you

Even in your arms I know
I'll never get it right
Even when you bend
To give me comfort in the night
I've got to have your word on this
Or none of it is true
And all I've said was just instead of
Coming back to you

Subject: Re: Depeche Mode Mon Jul 25, 2011 6:57 am

Here
As I sit
At this empty cafe
Thinking of you

I remember
All those moments
Lost in wonder
That we'll never
Find again

Though the world
Is my oyster
It's only a shell
Full of memories

Here by the Seine
Notre-Dame casts
A long lonely shadow

Now only sorrow
No tomorrow
There's no today for us

Nothing is there
For us to share
But yesterday

This is my song
This is my song
This is my song

These cities may change
But there always remains
My obsession

Through silken waters
My gondola glides
And the bridge
it sighs

I remember
All those moments
Lost in wonder
That we'll never
Find again

There's no more time for us
Nothing is there
For us to share
But yesterdays

All those moments
Lost in wonder
That we'll never
Find again

All those moments
Lost in wonder
That we'll never
Find again

All those moments
Lost in wonder
That we'll never
Find again

Subject: Re: Depeche Mode Mon Jul 25, 2011 6:57 am

Set me free

Remotivate me
Set me burning
After years in deep freeze
My body is yearning
For a new lease on life
Add a little spice

Set me free
Remotivate me

Give me a reason
To scream and shout
Give me something
To get excited about
When everything is looking dull
I'm sure it isn't impossible to

Set me free
Remotivate me

Don't think I'm impatient
Because I'm willing to wait
But something must happen
Before it gets too late
It could be my imagination
But wasn't there more than this numb sensation

Set me free
Remotivate me

Set me free

Subject: Re: Depeche Mode Mon Jul 25, 2011 6:57 am

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

Subject: Re: Depeche Mode Mon Jul 25, 2011 6:57 am

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

Subject: Re: Depeche Mode Mon Jul 25, 2011 6:58 am

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

Subject: Re: Depeche Mode Mon Jul 25, 2011 6:58 am

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

Subject: Re: Depeche Mode Mon Jul 25, 2011 6:58 am

I could corrupt you
In a heart beat
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, unwishing you dreamt of be
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 i wanna touch you with 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

Subject: Re: Depeche Mode Mon Jul 25, 2011 6:58 am

They call you Jezebel
Whenever we walk in
You're going straight to hell
For wanted 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 never care for me
But what the 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

Subject: Re: Depeche Mode Mon Jul 25, 2011 6:58 am

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 3x

Excuse me for my hesitation
'ave i 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 a truth is

You're miles away [3x]

With all your superstitions
And empty lines
I could be just like you
Withdrawn but alive

Life it has its 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 a truth is

You're miles away [3x]

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,
That you may reach a different verdict,
If all the judges missed 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 choose, 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
Well no-ones hurt and no-ones 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

Subject: Re: Depeche Mode Mon Jul 25, 2011 6:59 am

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 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 delusions
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

Subject: Re: Depeche Mode Mon Jul 25, 2011 6:59 am

Peace will come to me
Peace will come to me

I'm leaving bitterness behind
This time I'm cleaning up 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 of 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 radar in my heart
I should have trusted from the start

Just look at me
I am a living act of holiness
Giving all the positive virtues 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 inevitability

Subject: Re: Depeche Mode Mon Jul 25, 2011 6:59 am

They're almost falling over you
Why don't they call a truce
What ever they are trying to do
Its of little use
They're drowning you in compliments
Trying to furnish proof
Although they speak with eloquence
There is little truth

You're bright, you're strong, you know the 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 so transense
The tidiest absurdities
Your patience never ends
And as the night begins to fade
Your heading for the door
Followed by sad parade
Your on your own once more

You're bright, you're strong, you know the 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 the right from wrong
At least to some degree
You're wise, you're tough, you've heard their lies enough
You smile in sympathy

Subject: Re: Depeche Mode Mon Jul 25, 2011 6:59 am

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 channeling the universe
It's focusing its love 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 channeling the universe
It's focusing its love 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

Subject: Re: Depeche Mode Mon Jul 25, 2011 6:59 am

There's a fragile tension,
That's keeping us going
It may not last forever,
But oh well it's blowing

There's something magical in the air
Something so tragic we had 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 dreams
So simplistic it kicks and screams

All we will seem to reek on the edge of collapse
Nothing can keep us down

There's a dizzying feeling,
That's keeping us flying
Some glittering gauntlet
Without even trying

There's something radical in our hands
Nothing logical to our plans
