Corrupt

"**Corrupt**" is the thirteenth and final track on Depeche Mode's twelfth studio album, *Sounds of the Universe*.

## Lyrics

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

And soon you'll be crying

Unwishing you dreamt me

You'd 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
Ромулане

Ромулане (англ. Romulan) — вымышленная гуманоидная, инопланетная раса из вселенной научно-фантастической медиафраншизы Звёздный путь, ведущая своё происхождение от другой вымышленной расы из этого же сериала — вулканцев. Характеризуются вспыльчивостью, хитростью и оппортунизмом и являются полной противоположностью вулканцам. Являются доминирующей и государствообразующей расой в Ромуланской Звёздной империи. Вселенная Звёздный путь ( англ. Star Trek ) определяет местом их обитания Бета-квадрант галактики Млечный Путь.

Впервые ромулане появляются в Оригинальном сериале в эпизоде «Равновесие страха» ( англ. Balance of Terror ) в 1966 году, с тех пор являясь основными персонажами почти во всех основных произведениях, связанных с вселенной «Звёздного пути», в основном в качестве антагонистов Федерации ( и вулканцев в частности ).

Ромулане были созданы сценаристом Полом Шнайдером, который отметил, что: ... " «речь шла о создании хорошего набора замечательных римских антагонистов … римской цивилизации, расширившейся до космических пределов».
And Then...

"**And Then...**" is the ninth and final track on Depeche Mode's third studio album, *Construction Time Again*.

## Lyrics

Let's take a map of the world

Tear it into pieces

All of the boys and the girls

Will see how easy it is

To pull it all down and start again

From the top to the bottom and then

I'll have faith or, I prefer

To think that things couldn't turn out worse

All that we need at the start's

Universal Revolution (That's all)

And if we trust in our hearts

We'll find the solutions

To pull it all down and start again

From the top to the bottom and then

I'll have faith or, I prefer

To think that things couldn't turn out worse

Took a plane across the world

Got in a car

When I reached my destination

I hadn't gone far

Let's take the whole of the world

The mountains and the sand

Let all the boys and the girls

Shape it in their hands

To pull it all down and start again

From the top to the bottom and then

I'll have faith or, I prefer

To think that things couldn't turn out worse
World Map

### City Map

At the beginning, you start with a limited area to build your city. The City Map is an area divided into tiles that looks like a square grid and where you can place your first buildings, in order to start your city's development. You will start with 15x10 tiles.

But of course your goal is to expand and your biggest challenge is to make the best of the space at your disposal. To increase your buildable area you can unlock Expansions in the Research Tree, gain them by solving all Encounters in a Province, or buy a Premium Expansion. Each City Map Expansion has an area of 25 tiles.

At the beginning, you will already find two buildings on the City Map: The Main Hall and the Builders' Hut.

* The **Main Hall** is the center of your city and acts as your main storage. Most of the buildings need to be connected by streets to the Main Hall to make them functional.
* In the **Builders' Hut** you will find your Workers. They will help you to construct and upgrade buildings and also to manage your current constructions.
Saw Something

**"Saw Something"** is the first track on Dave Gahan's second studio album, *Hourglass*. It was released as a double A-side single with "Deeper and Deeper".

## Lyrics

After the storm

Had passed

I wondered how long

The break in the clouds would last

I saw something in your eyes

I'm sure

Oh baby I saw it

Something in your eyes

I wanted it for myself

I sit and I wait

And I stare

Still wishing for a divine intervention

To lift me from my chair

I saw something in your eyes

I'm sure

Oh baby I saw it

Something in your eyes...

I saw something in your eyes

I'm sure

Oh baby I saw it

Something in your eyes

I wanted it for myself

You and I we've come so far

We've reached beyond the farthest star

Time and time and time again

I want you back

You were my friend

We can pretend

I saw something in your eyes

I'm sure

Oh baby I saw it

Something in your eyes

I wanted it for myself

## Lyrics

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 'til you recognise the choice

I take pictures

Photographic pictures

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

I take pictures

Photographic pictures

Bright light, dark room

Bright light, dark room

Tomorrow

## Lyrics

You're the stars in the sky

You have heaven in your eyes

And only you're the reason why

Will you stay here by my side

One last kiss

One last time

Tomorrow will come

Tomorrow will come

All too soon

All too soon

Tomorrow will come

Tomorrow will come

With you I can survive

You make me feel alive

You're the sun and the rain

My pleasure and my pain

One last kiss

One last time

Tomorrow will come

Tomorrow will come

All too soon

All too soon

Tomorrow will come

Tomorrow will come

One last kiss

One last time

Tomorrow will come

Tomorrow will come

One last kiss

One last time

Tomorrow will come

One last kiss

One last time

Tomorrow will come

Tomorrow will come

All too soon

All too soon

Tomorrow will come

Tomorrow will come
21 Days

"**21 Days**" is the fourth track on Dave Gahan's second studio album, *Hourglass*.

## Lyrics

When are you going

To tell us it's over

How long will you keep us

Hanging on your hook

You have us all

By the short and curlys

Reading us all like a book

Building a tower of fear by the river

Building it up

Build it up

Building a tower of fear by the river

Building it up

Build it up

It's been 21 days

And the tower keeps rising

21 days

That's all it took

The sun is disappearing

On the horizon

You really should

Take a look

Building a tower of fear by the river

Building it up

Build it up

Building a tower of fear by the river

Building it up

Build it up

Little Soul

"**Little Soul**" is the fifth track on Depeche Mode's twelfth studio album, *Sounds of the Universe*.

## Lyrics

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
Blasphemous Rumours

"Blasphemous Rumours" is a song from the 1984 album *Some Great Reward* by Depeche Mode. It was released as a double A-side single alongside "Somebody" on 29 October 1984.

## Lyrics

Girl of sixteen, whole life ahead of her

Slashed her wrists, bored with life

Didn't 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, it's always the same

She goes down on her knees and prays

I don't want to start any blasphemous rumours

But I think that God's got a sick sense of humour

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

Summer's day as she passed away

Birds were singing in the summer sky

Then came the rain and once again

A tear fell from her mother's eye

I don't want to start any blasphemous rumours

But I think that God's got a sick sense of humour

And when I die, I expect to find him laughing

The Dead of Night

"**The Dead of Night**" is the fifth track on Depeche Mode's tenth studio album, *Exciter*.

## Lyrics

We're the horniest boys with the corniest ploys

Who take the easiest girls to our sleaziest worlds

With our lecherous plans in our treacherous hands

You'd be wasting your time saying, "No, it's a crime"

All that we live for, you'll regret

All you remember, we'll forget

We are the dead of night

We're in the zombie room

We're twilight's parasites

With self-inflicted wounds

We are the dead of night

We're in the zombie room

Heavenly oversights

Eating from silver spoons

With our decadent minds and our innocent lines

You'll be playing our games with your bodies in flames

When delirious fun has seriously begun

You'll be down on your knees, you'll be begging us, "Please"

All we're demanding, you'll supply

All we're accused of, we'll deny

We are the dead of night

We're in the zombie room

We're twilight's parasites

With self-inflicted wounds

We are the dead of night

We're in the zombie room

Heavenly oversights

Eating from silver spoons

We are the dead of night

We're in the zombie room

We're twilight's parasites

With self-inflicted wounds

We are the dead of night

We're in the zombie room

Heavenly oversights

Eating from silver spoons

Down

"**Down**" is the tenth and final track on Dave Gahan's second studio album, *Hourglass*.

## Lyrics

I need some company

I need you tonight

You don't have to talk to me

And don't be polite

Take my body and soul

I feel so old

Down

On the ground

There's no one around

And the snow is falling

Down

On the ground

It's where I'm bound

To end up by morning

Down

Just lay down beside of me

You know what I like

Take what you want from me

We don't have to fight

Take my body and soul

I feel so old

Down

On the ground

There's no one around

And the snow is falling

Down

On the ground

It's where I'm bound

To end up by morning

Down

All down

All down

And you comfort me

Until my legs go weak

Hold me closer

And we won't speak

Down

On the ground

There's no one around

And the snow is falling

Down

On the ground

It's where I'm bound

To end up by morning

Down

Oh we all keep falling

All down

And the world keeps turning
Jezebel

"**Jezebel**" is the twelfth track on Depeche Mode's twelfth studio album, *Sounds of the Universe*.

## Lyrics

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'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

Behind the Wheel

**Behind the Wheel** is the sixth track and the third single on Depeche Mode's sixth studio album, *Music for the Masses*. It was released on December 28, 1987.

## Lyrics

My little girl, drive anywhere

Do what you want, I don't care

Tonight I'm in the hands of fate

I hand myself over on a plate now

Oh, little girl, there are times when I feel

I'd rather not be the one behind the wheel

Come, pull my strings

Watch me move, I do anything, please

Sweet little girl, I prefer

You behind the wheel and me the passenger

Drive, I'm yours to keep

Do what you want, I'm going cheap tonight

You're behind the wheel tonight

## Trivia

* This is the only song released by Depeche Mode in which every lyric is fully sung by Dave Gahan and Martin Gore together.
But Not Tonight

"But Not Tonight" is a song recorded during the production of the 1986 album *Black Celebration* by Depeche Mode. It was released as a single on 10 February 1986.

## Lyrics

Oh God, it's raining, but I'm not complaining

It's filling me up with new life

The stars in the sky bring tears to my eyes

They're lighting my way tonight

And I haven't felt so alive

In years

Just for a day on a day like today

I'll get away from this constant debauchery

The wind in my hair makes me so aware

How good it is to live tonight

And I haven't felt so alive

In years

The moon is shining in the sky

Reminding me of so many other nights

But they're not like tonight

Oh God, it's raining and I'm not containing

My pleasure at being so wet

Here on my own, all on my own

How good it feels to be alone tonight

And I haven't felt so alive

In years

The moon is shining in the sky

Reminding me of so many other nights

When my eyes had been so red

I'd been mistaken for dead

But not tonight

## Lyrics

I'm coming for you

When the sun goes down

I'm coming for you

When there's no one around

I come to your house

Break down the door

Girl I'm shaking

And I need more

There's only one way to soothe my soul

(Only one way to soothe my soul!)

There's only one way to soothe my soul

(Only one way to soothe my soul!)

Only one way (Only one way!)

Only one way (Only one way!)

Only one way (Only one way!)

Only one way (Only one way!)

I'm coming for you

I need to feel your skin

I'm coming for you

To stop this crawling

I'm taking my place

By your side

I'm not leaving

Until I'm satisfied

There's only one way to soothe my soul

(Only one way to soothe my soul!)

There's only one way to soothe my soul

(Only one way to soothe my soul!)

Only one way (Only one way!)

Only one way (Only one way!)

Only one way (Only one way!)

Only one way (Only one way!)

I'm coming for you

My body's hungry

I'm coming for you

Like a junkie

I can't stop

The desire in me

I'm not waiting

Patiently

There's only one way to soothe my soul

(Only one way to soothe my soul!)

There's only one way to soothe my soul

(Only one way to soothe my soul!)

There's only one way to soothe my soul

(Only one way to soothe my soul!)

There's only one way to soothe my soul

(Only one way to soothe my soul!)

There's only one way (Only one way!)

There's only one way to soothe my soul (Only one way to soothe my soul!)

Only one way (Only one way!)

Only one way
Nodisco

**Nodisco**" is the fifth track on Depeche Mode's first studio album, *Speak & Spell*.

## Lyrics

I saw you in the picture, I saw you play the part

This ain't no disco

There's a thousand watts in you, you take this too far

This ain't no disco

Sometimes when I wonder if you're taking a chance

This ain't no disco and you know how to dance

Move me, disco

Baby, don't you let go

This ain't no disco

Part one, act one, everyone pretend

This ain't no disco

This is more a story and we're reaching the end

This ain't no disco

Always makes me happy when you're taking a chance

This ain't no disco and you know how to dance

Move me, disco

Baby, don't you let go

This ain't no disco

I saw you in the picture, I saw you play the part

This ain't no disco

There's a thousand watts in you, you take this too far

This ain't no disco

Sometimes when I wonder if you're taking a chance

This ain't no disco and you know how to dance

Move me, disco

Baby, don't you let go

Move me, disco

Baby, don't you let go

Move me, disco

Baby, don't you let go

This ain't no disco
Insight

"**Insight**" is the eleventh and final track on Depeche Mode's ninth studio album, *Ultra*.

## Lyrics

This is an insight

Into my life

This is a strange flight

I'm taking

My true will

Carries me along

This is a soul dance

Embracing me

This is the first chance

To put things right

Moving on

Guided by the light

And the spirit of love

Is rising within me

Talking to you now

Telling you clearly

The fire still burns

Wisdom of ages

Rush over me

Heighten my senses

Enlighten me

Lead me on

Eternally

And the spirit of love

Is rising within me

Talking to you now

Telling you clearly

The fire still burns

And the spirit of love

Is rising within me

Talking to you now

Telling you clearly

The fire still burns

I'm talking to you now

The fire still burns

Whatever you do now

(Give love, you've got to give love)

(You've got to give love, you've got to give love)

The world still turns
In Sympathy

"**In Sympathy**" is the sixth track on Depeche Mode's twelfth studio album, *Sounds of the Universe*.

## Lyrics

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

Although 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

The tedious absurdities

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
Halo

"**Halo**" is the fourth track on Depeche Mode's seventh studio album, *Violator*.

## Lyrics

You wear guilt

Like shackles on your feet

Like a halo in reverse

I can feel

The discomfort in your seat

And in your head, it's worse

There's a pain

A famine in your heart

An aching to be free

Can't you see?

All love's luxuries

Are here for you and me

And when our worlds they fall apart

When the walls come tumbling in

Though we may deserve it

It will be worth it

Bring your chains

Your lips of tragedy

And fall into my arms

And when our worlds they fall apart

When the walls come tumbling in

Though we may deserve it

It will be worth it
My Secret Garden

"**My Secret Garden**" is the second track on Depeche Mode's second studio album, *A Broken Frame*.

There are two excerpts of this song, “Excerpt from: "My Secret Garden”“ and "Further Excerpts from: "My Secret Garden”“.

## Lyrics

My secret garden's not so secret anymore

Run from the house holding my head in my hands

Feeling dejected, feeling like a child might feel

It all seems so absurd that this should have occurred

My very only secret and I had to go and leak it

My secret garden's not so secret anymore

No, my secret garden's not so secret anymore

Run through the fields, down to the edge of the water

Can't stay long, here comes the reason why

She'll catch me if she can, take me by the hand

I'll have to keep on running and I just can't see the fun in

My secret garden not being secret anymore

It used to be so easy on days such as these

She'd search and search for hours in among the flowers

I loved it, I loved her

Play the fool, act so cruel (I loved it)

Read her book, take a look (I loved her)

It all seems so absurd that this should have occurred

My very only secret and I had to go and leak it

My secret garden's not so secret anymore

The Sweetest Condition

"**The Sweetest Condition**" is the third track on Depeche Mode's tenth studio album, *Exciter*.

## Lyrics

Taken in by the delicate noise

Knocked to the ground by the subtle thunder

Shackled and bound by the sound of your voice

Wandering around in silent wonder

What chance did I have

With the silver moon

Hanging in the sky

Opening old wounds?

Taking hold of the hem of your dress

Cleanliness only comes in small doses

Bodily whole but my head's in a mess

Fuelling obsession that borders psychosis

It's a sad disease

Creeping through my mind

Causing disabilities

Of the strangest kind

Getting lost in the folds of your skirt

There's a price that I pay for my mission

A body in heaven and a mind full of dirt

How I suffer the sweetest condition

Taken in by the delicate noise

Knocked to the ground by the subtle thunder

Shackled and bound by the sound of your voice

Wandering around in silent wonder

To coincide with the re-release of *The Singles 81→85* (1998), *Some Great Videos* was re-released as *Some Great Videos 81→85*. The track list is the same as the original UK version, but the artwork is all from the rereleased *The Singles 81→85*.

* All videos were directed by Clive Richardson, except for "Shake the Disease" and "It's Called a Heart" directed by Peter Care.
* None of the videos by Julien Temple were included in the compilation. Alan Wilder once commented on the videos, when asked about them on his website:

"You can pretty much lump all the Julian Temple videos ("See You", "The Meaning of Love", and "Leave in Silence") into one collective disaster."
* Though "Get the Balance Right" was directed by Kevin Hewitt, not Temple, it wasn't included either as it wasn't very well liked by the band.

The Darkest Star

"**The Darkest Star**" is the twelfth and final track on Depeche Mode's eleventh studio album, *Playing the Angel*.

## Lyrics

Oh, you sad one

Playing the angel

Isn't so easy where you're from

Oh, you wild one

Devil's companion

You won't stay satisfied for long

I don't want you to change

Anything you do

I don't want you to be

Someone else for me

Oh, you dark one

Eternal outsider

Caught in the spider's web you've spun

Oh, you blind one

Gentle and kind one

Seeing the world as a loaded gun

I don't want you to change

Anything you do

I don't want you to be

Someone else for me

Stay as you are

The darkest star

Shining for me

Majestically
Catching Up with Depeche Mode

***Catching Up with Depeche Mode*** is a compilation album by English electronic music band Depeche Mode. It was released solely in North America on November 11, 1985, by Sire Records.

October 1985 saw the international release of the album *The Singles 81→85*, which collected the band's seven-inch singles to that date. Sire Records felt a new album would have to differ from this international release since some of the band's singles had already appeared on the compilation *People Are People* the previous year. *Catching Up with Depeche Mode* included the band's singles not already available on *People Are People* – all but "Leave in Silence", "Get the Balance Right!", "Everything Counts", and "People Are People" – as well as two B-sides, "Flexible" and "Fly on the Windscreen".

*Catching Up with Depeche Mode* peaked at number 113 on the US *Billboard* 200. On 2 August 2000, the album was certified Platinum by the Recording Industry Association of America (RIAA).

Sea Of Sin

"Sea Of Sin" is a song produced during the recording of 1990 album *Violator* by Depeche Mode. It was released as a B-side to the single "World In My Eyes" on 2 September 1990.

## Lyrics

Sea of Sin

I'm swimming in

And I'm taking a dive

My mind's in need

So my body feeds

And it keeps me alive

It gets better and better

As it gets wetter and wetter

Sea of Sin

Know where you've been

But I don't care

Sea of Sin

Through thick and thin

For better or worse

My mind's in need

So my body feeds

And it quenches my thirst

You look cheaper and cheaper

As we sink deeper and deeper

Sea of Sin

Know where you've been

'Cause I've been there

Here, under God's sky

His watchful eye

And all of the lies

My consolation prize

Sea of Sin

My second skin

My home from home

When I'm in doubt

My hands reach out

And I'm never alone

It gets wetter and wetter

As it gets better and better

Sea of Sin

Know where you've been

And I'm prepared

Sea of Sin

Know where you've been

Yes I'm aware

Sea of Sin

Know where you've been

'Cause I've been there

Sea of Sin

Know where you've been

And I don't care

Sea of Sin

Know where you've been

And I don't care
Alone

"**Alone**" is the eleventh track on Depeche Mode's thirteenth studio album, *Delta Machine*.

## Alone

### Studio

Sound Design (Santa Barbara)Jungle City (New York)

## Lyrics

I was there when you needed me most

I was there when you wanted me least

I was your father, your son and your Holy Ghost and priest

Through your failures and success

Through your losses and gains

I didn’t see much happiness or pain

I couldn’t save your soul

I couldn’t even take you home

I couldn’t fill that hole

Alone

I saw you at your best

I knew you at your worst

I couldn’t tell if you were blessed or cursed

There’s a thin grey line

Between the black and the white

It’s evidently hard to find at night

I couldn’t save your soul

I couldn’t even take you home

I couldn’t play that role

Alone

Now it’s too

Too late for words that should have been said

Long ago

I was there when you needed me most

I was there when you wanted me least

I was your father, your son and your Holy Ghost and priest

I couldn’t save your soul

I couldn’t even take you home

I couldn’t fill that hole

Alone
Higher Love

"**Higher Love**" is the tenth and final track on Depeche Mode's eighth studio album, *Songs of Faith and Devotion*.

## Lyrics

I can taste more than feel

This burning inside is so real

I can almost lay my hands upon

The warm glow that lingers on

Moved, lifted higher

Moved, my soul's on fire

Moved, by a higher love

I surrender all control

To the desire that consumes me whole

And leads me by the hand to infinity

That lies in wait at the heart of me

Moved, lifted higher

Moved, my soul's on fire

Moved, by a higher love

By a higher love

Heaven bound on the wings of love

There's so much that you can rise above

Moved, lifted higher

Moved, moved by a higher love

By a higher love

I surrender heart and soul

Sacrificed to a higher goal

Moved, moved by a higher love

By a higher love, by a higher love

By a higher love, by a higher love

By a higher love, by a higher love

By a higher love

Higher love, higher love
Goodbye (Depeche Mode song)

## Goodbye (Depeche Mode song)

### Studio

## Lyrics

It was you that took my soul

And threw it in the fire

And tamed it in the rapture

And filled me with desire

Now I'm pure, now I'm clean

I feel good and serene

In you

There is no denying

How I have been changed

You won't hear me crying

Now misery is strange

I can dream, I can fly

Now it seems I get by

With you

Goodbye again

Goodbye again

I was always looking, looking for someone

Someone to stick my hook in

And pull it out and run

Now I'm caught on your ride

All my thoughts are entwined

In you

Goodbye again

Goodbye again

If you see me walking

To the golden gates

Then turn around, stop talking

Stop and hesitate

I'll be waiting up there

With my fate in the air

For you

Good goodbye

Good goodbye

Good goodbye

Good goodbye

Good goodbye

Good goodbye

Good goodbye

Good goodbye

Good goodbye

Good goodbye
Black and Blue Again

"**Black and Blue Again**" is the fifth track on Dave Gahan's first studio album, *Paper Monsters*.

## Lyrics

I'm back in the room with the two-way door

I don't know where it is, I sure have been there before

The thoughts in my head, I just can't describe

They're just too insane and they're all outside

All my apologies have been used up

All my words they're not enough

I'm asking you on my knees to look inside me

I'm black and blue again

I'm black and blue again

Do you remember we were such good friends

And now we're back in the ring and fighting again

The taste that's in my mouth you see it's not very nice

Screaming at you its tears in your eyes

All my apologies have been used up

All my words they're not enough

I'm asking you on my knees to look inside me

I'm black and blue again

I'm black and blue again

I'm not very nice

You said I'm not very nice

I'm not very nice

You said I'm not very nice

I'm not very nice

You see I'm not very nice

All my apologies have been used up

All my words they're not enough

I'm asking you on my knees to look inside me
I'm black and blue again

I'm black and blue again

Black and blue again

Black and blue again

I'm not very nice

You know I'm not very nice

You said I'm not very nice
Dangerous

**Dangerous** is a song produced during the recording of 1990 album *Violator* by Depeche Mode. It was released as a B-side on the single "Personal Jesus" on August 29, 1989.

## Lyrics

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

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

Dangerous

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

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

Dangerous

The way you leave me wanting more

Dangerous

That's what I want you for...
Poison Heart

"Poison Heart" is the eighth track on Depeche Mode's fourteenth studio album, Spirit. Gahan says it’s not intended to be a breakup song. Gore, whom Gahan says is “not a man of many words when it comes to others' songs,” called “Poison Heart” the best song Gahan had ever written.

Dave Gahan on Rolling Stone:

*They (the group’s drummer, Christian Eigner, and keyboardist, Peter Gordeno) sent me this guitar line, and it had a bit of a Muscle Shoals vibe. It was a very different feel and I got this melody in my head.*

## Lyrics

You have poison in your heart

Yeah I'm sure of it

I knew right from the start

From the moment we met

You know we have to break up

You'll always be alone

You know you've never ever been a friend

Now we're closer to the edge

Oh oh oh, no

There's poison in your mind

Yeah I'm sure of it

You've never been that kind

With all due respect

You know it's time to break up

You'll always be alone

You know you've never ever been a friend

Now we're closer to the end

Oh oh oh, no

We've been walking far too long this icy road

My broken heart is colder than a stone

I know you've never ever been a friend

Now you've pushed me to the end

Oh oh oh, no
Love, in Itself

"**Love, in Itself**" is the first track and the first single on Depeche Mode's third studio album, *Construction Time Again*. It was released on July 11th, 1983.

## Lyrics

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

Love's not enough in itself

Consequently, I've 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

Love's 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

Love's not enough in itself

A Photograph of You

"**A Photograph of You**" is the eighth track on Depeche Mode's second studio album, *A Broken Frame*.

## Lyrics

What good is a photograph of you?

Every time I look at it it makes me feel blue

What use is a souvenir of something we once had

When all it ever does is make me feel bad?

I wish I could tear it up

But then again I haven't the guts

I wish I could throw it on the fire, I wish I could

But to say I would, I'd be a liar

What good is a colour print of a little baby doll

When just one little glance is enough to make me feel dull?

I hoped I would misplace it

But then I take such good care of it

I wish it would disappear, I say I wish

But then I relish it being here

What good is a photograph of you?

Every time I look at it it makes me feel blue

Feel blue, feel blue

Fools

“Fools” is the B-side of Depeche Mode’s 9th single “Love, In Itself”. There is a other version of the song, the “Fools (Bigger)” version.

## Lyrics

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

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)

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

And fools don't run away
Are People People?

Depeche Mode 1984 B-Side "Are People People?" re-mixed by Adrian Sherwood on the Master And Servant U.S. Black & Blue Version 12" and on the M&S ON-USound 12" too. This is a rare and strange song, since none of DM members even sings on it, the only hint that its a Depeche Mode song is actual "People Are People" sounds mixed in here. There is not much known about this song/version.

## Lyrics

Oh little one

I will protect you

As well as any man can

As well as any man could

I will be there for you

Rises

And the radiation falls

I will look you in the eye

And kiss you

And give you all my love

As well as any man can

As well as any man could

You are my eternal

Eternal

Songs of Faith and Devotion Live

***Songs of Faith and Devotion Live*** is the second live album by English electronic music band Depeche Mode. It was released on December 6, 1993 by Mute Records. Recorded during the band's 1993 Devotional Tour, the album consists mainly of performances recorded in Liévin, France, with two other tracks recorded in Copenhagen and New Orleans, respectively. It was a track-by-track live duplication of Depeche Mode's eighth studio album, *Songs of Faith and Devotion*, which was released earlier in 1993.

The album was poorly received by critics and performed moderately on the charts, reaching number 46 on the U.K. Albums Chart and number 193 on the U.S. *Billboard* 200. As of April 2006, it had sold 114,000 copies in the United States.

A near-complete concert of the Devotional Tour was released on the *Devotional* video album in 1993, and attained more commercial success.

## Track listing

All tracks are written by Martin L. Gore.

**Notes**

* All tracks were recorded live at Stade Couvert Régional in Liévin, France, on July 29, 1993, except Get Right with Me, recorded at Forum Copenhagen in Copenhagen on May 27, 1993, and One Caress, recorded at Lakefront Arena in New Orleans on October 8, 1993.

## Critical reception

In comparison to *Songs of Faith and Devotion*, *Songs and Faith and Devotion Live* received less acclaim from music critics; AllMusic rated the album two stars out of five.

The A.V. Club rated *Songs of Faith and Devotion Live* as the "Least Essential Live Album" of the 1990s, saying, "Depeche Mode has plugged in plenty of DAT and drum machines during its live performances, thereby allowing the band to crank out note-perfect versions of its studio hits. Featuring every track on *Songs of Faith And Devotion*, played live and in order, the album's live counterpart is monumentally unnecessary." In the same feature, the album was listed as one of ten nominees for "Least Essential Album" of the decade with the comment, "It's not like Depeche Mode is inclined to rely on radical instrumental improvisation live."
