Queen Gertrude

**Queen Gertrude** was born in Austria, the younger sister of Margaret of Habsburg. Sent to Denmark and betrothed to King Hamlet Sr, she remarried his brother, Claudius, upon the king’s untimely death.

## Backstory

As a child, Gertrude's father, Emperor Maximilian I, promised her that she would be one of the most powerful women in the world. He fulfilled this oath by marrying her into the royal family of Denmark.

For years, Irma has been Gertrude's closest confidante in Elsinore, having come with her to Denmark from Austria.

Gertrude's marriage to King Hamlet was loveless and political, but through her love for her son, Gertrude has fully acclimatised to life at the Danish court. Gertrude also carried on an affair with her brother-in-law, Claudius, while her husband was still alive, reasoning that she deserved happiness of her own.

She expresses to Horatio that, after all these years, she considers herself Danish. Despite this, she still painfully misses her sister Margaret, who she believes is the only person to have ever known or understood her. During Gertrude's first years in Denmark, Margaret responded to Gertrude's letters telling her to forget Margaret and Austria, and eventually stopping writing Gertrude altogether. This deeply hurt Gertrude, but she seems to have internalised her sister's advice, pouring all the love she had for Margaret into her husband and son. Still, it is one of Gertrude's dearest wishes to see Margaret again.

Prior to the events of the game, Gertrude privately suspects her illicit lover and now-husband Claudius of murdering her husband Hamlet, but cannot bring herself to face these fears fully.
Shout!

“Shout!” is the B-side of Depeche Mode’s 2nd single “New Life”. There is a Rio Remix-Version of the track.

## Lyrics

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
I Am You

"**I Am You**" is the twelfth track on Depeche Mode's tenth studio album, *Exciter*.

## Lyrics

You have bound my heart with subtle chains

So much pleasure that it feels like pain

So entwined now that we can't shake free

I am you and you are me

No escaping from the mess we're in

So much pleasure that it must be sin

I must live with this reality

I am yours eternally

There's no turning back

We're in this trap

No denying the facts

No, no, no

No excuses to give

I'm the one you're with

We've no alternative

No, no, no

Dark obsession in the name of love

This addiction that we're both part of

Leads us deeper into mystery

Keeps us craving endlessly

Strange compulsions that I can't control

Pure possession of my heart and soul

I must live with this reality

I am you and you are me

There's no turning back

We're in this trap

No denying the facts

No, no, no

No excuses to give

I'm the one you're with

We've no alternative

No, no, no
Caroline's Monkey

## Caroline's Monkey

### Studio

## Lyrics

Caroline knows how fragile we are

With hope as our faith

We look to the stars

Caroline's monkey is crying again

There's no satisfaction

On Caroline's train

Caroline leaks through holes in her skin

Her promise of sweetness

Forgiveness and everything

Caroline's monkey coos in her ear

Drives like a demon

Through Caroline's tears

Caroline feels the ice in her veins

The minutes and hours

The naming of days

Caroline said her dream never ends

For Caroline's monkey

And Caroline's friends

Fading's better than failing

Falling's better than feeling

Folding's better than losing

Fixing's better than healing

Sometimes

Caroline's monkey claws at her back

Colder than winter

Darker than black

Caroline's monkey is hungry again

Running with scissors

On needles and pins

Caroline's monkey lives where she lays

Sleeps like a thief

And steals through the days

Caroline's monkey makes up all the fun

Leaves chaos and ruin

On Caroline's tongue

Caroline knows how fragile we are

With hope as our faith

We look to the stars

Caroline's monkey is crying again

There's no satisfaction

On Caroline's train

Fading's better than failing

Falling's better than feeling

Folding's better than losing

Fixing's better than healing

Sometimes

Tim Simenon

**Bomb the Bass** is an electronic music alias of English musician and producer Tim Simenon.

As a name, Bomb the Bass came from Simenon's approach to collaging and mixing sounds whilst DJing in the mid- to late 1980s; he says "samples were either scratched in live or sampled and looped on top of the rhythm section. So the concept was one of bombing the bass line with different ideas, with a collage of sounds. Bombing was a graffiti term for writing, like people would 'bomb' trains or whatever."

## Work with Depeche Mode

Tim Simenon worked with Depeche Mode on their ninth studio album, Ultra.

Boys Say Go!

"**Boys Say Go!**" is the fourth track on Depeche Mode's first studio album, *Speak & Spell*.

## Lyrics

Boys say go!

You don't understand

This is in 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 meet boys, get together

Boys meet boys, live forever

Don't say no

Boys say go!

Boys!

Boys say go!

You don't understand

This is in 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!

(Go! Go! Go! Go! Go! Go! Go! Go!)

The Landscape is Changing

"**The Landscape is Changing**" is the seventh track on Depeche Mode's third studio album, *Construction Time Again*.

## Lyrics

The landscape is changing, the landscape is crying

Thousands of acres of forest are dying

Carbon copies from the hills above the forest line

Acid streams are flowing ill across the countryside

'Cause I don't care if you're going nowhere

Just take good care of the world

I don't care if you're going nowhere

Just take good care of the world

Now we're re-arranging, there's no use denying

Mountains and valleys, can't you hear them sighing?

Evolution, the solution or the certainty

Can you imagine this intrusion of their privacy?

'Cause I don't care if you're going nowhere

Just take good care of the world

I don't care if you're going nowhere

Just take good care of the world

Token gestures, some semblance of intelligence

Can we be blamed for the security of ignorance

'Cause I don't care if you're going nowhere

Just take good care of the world

I don't care if you're going nowhere

Just take good care of the world

I don't care if you're going nowhere

Just take good care of the world
This Day Is Going To Be Perfect (Reprise 3)

## History

### Original Music

"This Day Is Going To Be Perfect" was originally from "This Day Aria" by Daniel Ingram. The video is the original TV show music video from My Little Pony: 友達は魔法。

### Behind the Music

Almost same as "This Day Is Going To Be Perfect" but this is a reprise. Even if the music is titled "reprise 3", this is the only reprise to the finals. The author has written reprise 1 and reprise 2, but they were cut-out eventually.

## Lyrics

**[Princess Ninfia]**

This day is going to be perfect

Like the day I imagined when I was small

All citizens will surrender under my spell

Saying I'm the best ruler in the world

I've been tricking them all and they don't realize it!

I do not care about customers

Can I listen to any concerns? No!

Promises? Like I say I will lie

Any kind of situations I want power to be all mine

Truth is, I abhor them all!

No, I do not love the feelings

In my dark void there will be room

But I still want them to be all mine!

**[Echoing Voice]**

I must escape before it's too late

Find a solution to save the day

Hope? If I have to say, I will lie

I may not make and lose the world we've created to whom wants to use it,

To overtake, mislead, and destroy someday

Oh, I want my place back

All those efforts I've put in

Oh, Anliy,

I will be there very soon!

**[Princess Ninfia]**

Finally the moment has arrived,

For me, to be one lucky lady!

**[Echoing Voice]**

Oh, the coronation I won't make

It will end up messed up, the world will be...!

**[Princess Ninfia]**

Mine, all mine!

Breathe

"**Breathe**" is the tenth track on Depeche Mode's tenth studio album, *Exciter*.

## Lyrics

I heard a rumour, they travel far

You know what it's like, the way people are

They talk and they talk, though they don't understand

They'll whisper and whisper and lie on demand

Please tell me now, I want to know

I have to hear it from your lips

Say it's not so

I heard it on Monday and I laughed a while

I heard it on Tuesday, I managed to smile

I heard it on Wednesday, my patience was tried

I heard it on Thursday and I hurt inside

And I want to know the depths of your mind

Tell me this whole thing is madness

And we're doing fine

Put your little hand in mine

And believe in love

Put your head on my chest

And breathe love, breathe love

Breathe love, breathe love

I heard it from Peter who heard it from Paul

Who heard it from someone I don't know at all

I heard it from Mary who heard it from Ruth

Who swore on the Bible she's telling the truth

I heard it from Simon who heard it from James

Confirming with Sarah that I was to blame

I heard it from Joseph who heard it from John

Who said with conviction that all hope was gone

So I need to know your alibis

I need to hear that you love me

Before you say goodbye
Agent Orange

"Agent Orange" is an instrumental song recorded during the production of the 1987 album *Music For The Masses* by Depeche Mode. It was released as the second B-side on the Strangelove single on 13 April 1987.

Dave Bascombe told *Super Deluxe Edition* in July 2019:

> *"Well, ['Agent Orange'] particularly had loads of space in it and I was thinking about that the other day. I was going through some tracks, it's one of those that was so good [you would think] that it should go on the album, but it is merely a B-side. That's what makes B-sides great, they can be that empty and sparse."*

It has never been played live.
Clean

"**Clean**" is the ninth and final track on Depeche Mode's seventh studio album, *Violator*.

## Lyrics

Clean, the cleanest I've been

An end to the tears and the in-between years

And the troubles I've seen

Now that I'm clean, you know what I mean

I've broken my fall, put an end to it all

I've changed my routine now I'm clean

I don't understand what destiny's planned

I'm starting to grasp what is in my own hands

I don't claim to know where my holiness goes

I just know that I like what is starting to show

Sometimes

Clean, the cleanest I've been

An end to the tears and the in-between years

And the troubles I've seen

Now that I'm clean, you know what I mean

I've broken my fall, put an end to it all

I've changed my routine now I'm clean

As years go by all the feelings inside

Twist and they turn as they ride with the tide

I don't advise and I don't criticise

I just know what I like with my own eyes

Sometimes

Clean, the cleanest I've been

An end to the tears and the in-between years

And the troubles I've seen

Now that I'm clean

Sometimes

You know what I mean

I've broken my fall, put an end to it all

I've changed my routine now I'm clean

Sometimes

Now I'm clean

(The cleanest I've been)

The cleanest I've been
Tell Your World (Original + English Remix)

形のない気持ち忘れないように

I just deleted, the layout to clear my heart

ふと口ずさんだフレーズを捕まえて

The songs within my heart, I'll let them break free, and
launch them up into the bright sky

君に伝えたいことが

君に届けたいことが

たくさんの点は線になって

浮く彼方へと響く

There are so many words I want to send to you

There are so many songs I want to send to you

I hope all my thoughts would make a circle

Connecting everything, us too, no matter where you are～!

Ahh～

真っ白に澄んだ光は君のよう

I felt it flowing through, my fingers, hair and fade in the
blue

ふと動いた指先刻むリズムに

The beats within my heart, I'll let them break free, and
launch them up into the bright sky

There are so many things I want to send to you

There are so many sounds I want to send to you

I hope that all my thoughts will link and make a line

To somewhere where they can reach you

君が伝えたい言葉

君が届けたい音が

いくつもの線は円になって

全て繋げていくどこにだって

Ahh～

Now I'm moving through these unchanging days

No one following the music ways

And I started thinking to myself, maybe they are gifts that
we should use

I started to believe, with all these sounds in me

The world will shake to break them free

You should tell me now, tell me about your whole own world

君が伝えたいことは

君が届けたいことは

たくさんの点は線になって

と浮く彼方へと響く

君が伝えたい言葉

君が届けたい音は

いくつもの線は円になって

全て繋げていくどこにだって

Ahh～

The Child Inside

"**The Child Inside**" is the eighth track on Depeche Mode's thirteenth studio album, *Delta Machine*.

## The Child Inside

### Studio

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

## Lyrics

There is darkness and death in your eyes

What have you got buried inside?

The shallow grave in your soul

The ghosts that have taken control

You really should have dug a little deeper there

Body parts are starting to appear and scare

The child inside away

Each tear that flows down your face

Trickles then picks up the pace

And turns to a river inside

A river that will not subside

I can hear that dreadful overflowing sound

And watching from afar I see a child is drowned

The child inside your heart

I can see you drifting away

Heading for the light

I can see you drifting away

Every night

Why were you always inside?

On days when the weather was fine

And while we were running around

You were nowhere to be found

You know you should have taken all your dolls to bed

Well you were made to play games with your soul instead

The child inside you died
It's No Good

"**It's No Good**" is the fourth track and the second single on Depeche Mode's ninth studio album, *Ultra*. It was released on March 31st, 1997.

## Lyrics

I'm gonna take my time

I have all the time in the world

To make you mine

It is written in the stars above

The gods decree

You'll be right here by my side

Right next to me

You can run but you cannot hide

Don't say you want me

Don't say you need me

Don't say you love me

It's understood

Don't say you're happy

Out there without me

I know you can't be

'Cause it's no good

I'll be fine

I'll be waiting patiently

Till you see the signs

And come running to my open arms

When will you realise?

Do we have to wait till our worlds collide?

Open up your eyes

You can't turn back the tide

Don't say you want me

Don't say you need me

Don't say you love me

It's understood

Don't say you're happy

Out there without me

I know you can't be

'Cause it's no good

I'm going to take my time

I have all the time in the world

To make you mine

It is written in the stars above

Don't say you want me

Don't say you need me

Don't say you love me

It's understood

Don't say you're happy

Out there without me

I know you can't be

'Cause it's no good

## Lyrics

Keep telling myself

That people are good

Whisper it under my breath

So I don't forget

Keep fooling myself

That they do all they can

Sometimes they simply slip up

But it's not what they meant

Heaven help me

Heaven help us

Keep reminding myself

That people are good

And when they do bad things

They're just hurting inside

Keep fooling myself

That everyone cares

And they're all full of love

It's just their patience gets tried

Heaven help me

Heaven help us

Everything will be alright in time

It will be fine

'Cause people are good

Whisper it under your breath

People are good

Keep fooling yourself

People are good

Whisper it under your breath

People are good

Keep fooling yourself

People are good

Whisper it under your breath

People are good

Keep fooling yourself

Get The Balance Right

"**Get the Balance Right!**" is the seventh single by British band Depeche Mode, released on 31 January 1983. Recorded at Blackwing Studios, it is the first Depeche Mode single with Alan Wilder as an official band member (Wilder also co-wrote the B-side track "The Great Outdoors!").

"Get the Balance Right!" was not included on the following album *Construction Time Again*, but does appear on the American compilation *People Are People* and the compilation *The Singles 81–85*.

## B-sides

The B-side is "The Great Outdoors!", an instrumental written by Gore and Wilder. It was featured on the Broken Frame Tour as the introduction theme for selected shows, after an incident with their Revox machine that destroyed almost all their previous intro, "Oberkorn (It's a Small Town)".

Included on the 12-inch releases is "Tora! Tora! Tora! (Live)", the first live song released on a Depeche Mode single. A limited edition 12-inch of the single was released, which features more live tracks: "My Secret Garden", "See You", and "Satellite". It was the first Depeche Mode single to have a limited edition.

## Music video

In the music video, Wilder lip-syncs the first lines of the song, even though Dave Gahan is the lead singer. The director Kevin Hewitt made the assumption that Wilder was the singer and they were too embarrassed to point out his mistake.

## Lyrics

There's more besides joyrides

The little house in the countryside

Understand, learn to demand

Compromise, and sometimes lie

Get the balance right

Be responsible, respectable

Stable but gullible

Concerned and caring, help the helpless

But always remain ultimately selfish

Get the balance right

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

Get the balance right

Chart performance

Sweetest Perfection

"**Sweetest Perfection**" is the second track on Depeche Mode's seventh studio album, *Violator*.

## Lyrics

The sweetest perfection

To call my own

The slightest correction

Couldn't finely hone

The sweetest infection

Of body and mind

Sweetest injection

Of any kind

I stop and I stare too much

Afraid that I care too much

And I hardly dare to touch

For fear that the spell may be broken

When I need a drug in me

And it brings out the thug in me

Feel something tugging me

Then I want the real thing, not tokens

The sweetest perfection

To call my own

The slightest correction

Couldn't finely hone

The sweetest infection

Of body and mind

Sweetest injection

Of any kind

Things you'd expect to be

Having effect on me

Pass undetectedly

But everyone knows what has got me

Takes me completely

Touches so sweetly

Reaches so deeply

I know that nothing can stop me

Sweetest perfection

An offer was made

An assorted collection

But I wouldn't trade

The sweetest perfection

To call my own

The slightest correction

Couldn't finely hone

The sweetest infection

Of body and mind

Sweetest injection

Of any kind

The sweetest perfection

To call my own

The slightest correction

Couldn't finely hone

(Nothing can stop me)

The sweetest infection

(Takes me completely)

Of body and mind

(Touches so sweetly)

Sweetest injection

(Reaches so deeply)

Of any kind

(Nothing can stop me)

The sweetest perfection

(Takes me completely)

To call my own

(Touches so sweetly)

The slightest correction

(Reaches so deeply)

Couldn't finely hone

(Nothing can stop me)

The sweetest infection

(Takes me completely)

Of body and mind

(Touches so sweetly)

Sweetest injection

(Reaches so deeply)

Of any kind

(Nothing can stop me)

Shame

"**Shame**" is the sixth track on Depeche Mode's third studio album, *Construction Time Again*.

## Lyrics

Do you ever get that feeling when the guilt begins to hurt?

Seeing all the children wallowing in dirt

Crying out with hunger, crying out in pain

At least the dirt will wash off when it starts to rain

Soap won't wash away your shame

Do you ever get the feeling that something isn't right?

Seeing your brother's fists clenched ready for the fight

Soon the fighting turns to weapons and the weapons turn to wounds

So the doctors stitch and stitch and stitch and stitch and stitch and stitch and stitch

Surgery won't improve your pain

It all seems so stupid

It makes me want to give up

But why should I give up

When it all seems so stupid?

Do you ever get the feeling that something can be done

To eradicate these problems and make the people one?

Do you ever get that feeling, something like a nagging itch?

And all the while the doctors stitch and stitch and stitch and stitch and stitch

Hope alone won't remove the stains (Shame)

It all seems so stupid

It makes me want to give up

But why should I give up

When it all seems so stupid?
I Want You Now

"**I Want You Now**" is the seventh track on Depeche Mode's sixth studio album, *Music for the Masses*.

## Lyrics

I want you now, tomorrow won't do

There's a yearning inside and it's showing through

Reach out your hands and accept my love

We've waited for too long, enough is enough

I want you now

My heart is aching, my body is burning

My hands are shaking, my head is turning

You understand it's so easy to choose

We've got time to kill, we've got nothing to lose

I want you now

And I don't mean to sound like one of the boys

That's not what I'm trying to do

I don't want to be like one of the boys

I just want you now

'Cuse I've got a love, a love that won't wait

A love that is growing and it's getting late

Do you know what it means to be left this way

When everyone's gone and the feelings they stay?

I want you now

Freestate

"**Freestate**" is the ninth track on Depeche Mode's ninth studio album, *Ultra*.

## Lyrics

I can hear your soul crying

Listen to your spirit sighing

I can feel your desperation

Emotional deprivation

Let yourself go, let yourself go

Let your feelings show

Picking up the conversation

Deep in your imagination

Tune into the lonely voices

Talking of their only choices

Let yourself go, let yourself go

Let your spirit grow

Step out of your cage and onto the stage

It's time to start playing your part

Freedom awaits, open the gates

Open your mind, freedom's a state

I can taste the tears falling

The bitterness inside you calling

Yearning for a liberation

Emotional emancipation

Let yourself go, let yourself go

Let your senses overflow

Step out of your cage and onto the stage

It's time to start playing your part

Freedom awaits, open the gates

Open your mind, freedom's a state
Freelove

"**Freelove**" is the seventh track and the third single on Depeche Mode's tenth studio album, *Exciter*. It was released on November 11th, 2001.

## Lyrics

If you've been hiding from love

I can understand where you're coming from

If you've suffered enough

I can understand what you're thinking of

I can see the pain that you're frightened of

And I'm only here

To bring you free love

Let's make it clear

That this is free love

No hidden catch, no strings attached

Just free love

I've been running like you

Now you understand why I'm running scared

I've been searching for truth

And I haven't been getting anywhere

No, I haven't been getting anywhere

And I'm only here

To bring you free love

Let's make it clear

That this is free love

No hidden catch, no strings attached

Just free love

Hey, girl, you've got to take this moment

Then let it slip away

Let go of complicated feelings

Then there's no price to pay

We've been running from love

And we don't know what we're doing here

No, we don't know what we're doing here

And we're only here

Sharing our free love

Let's make it clear

That this is free love

No hidden catch, no strings attached

Just free love
My Little Universe

"**My Little Universe**" is the fifth track on Depeche Mode's thirteenth studio album, *Delta Machine*.

## My Little Universe

### Studio

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

## Lyrics

My little universe is expanding slowly

Those who know me say I'm growing every day

Beautiful emptiness surrounds me

I take small steps

I'm making progress in an unspecific way

Here I am king

I decide everything

I let no one in

No one

No one

No one

The limited consciousness preserves me

It protects me

And just connects enough to keep the walls at bay

My little universe is expanding… slowly

Those who know me say I'm growing every day

Here I am king

I decide everything

I let no one in

No one

No one

No one
Speak To Me

"Speak To Me" is a song from the 2023 album *Memento Mori* by Depeche Mode.

Newspaper Expresso asked Dave Gahan about the line "you lead me, I follow your voice" and which voice it is referring to, to which Dave answered (translated from Portuguese):

> "In that song, I'm actually not referring to any of the leaders that we have right now. I'm talking about something that is not a person, but our conscience. I believe that we always know what the right thing to do is, and are given the possibility of choice, but we invariably end up making the wrong choices. Normally, we choose a path that serves our interests best. That's human, of course. But I think in that song I was trying to ask for something by saying: if there is something out there, show me and I will follow. It's me trying to summon something bigger."
>
>

Dave Gahan told Zane Lowe:

> "Initially the idea sort of came to me, and the song was incredibly elevated by Martin and and James and Marta, into a into a different place, to another world, somewhere else. And that's exactly where I wanted the song to go as well. It was beyond what I could have really put together myself. It's quite a very simple song, but honest and and real. For me, it was a key to open the door to want to continue to make a record with Martin again that was [going to be for] a Depeche Mode record. It was like an answer to that question for me. [...] [It's] a bit sarcastic, you know, "I hear you, I'm here, I'm found..." It's a bit sarcastic, but at the same time, there's an absolute peace and joy in the emptiness of the end. [...] It was awesome when that happened in the studio actually, because Marta is a genius with a tape looping and sending stuff back into the tape machines and then all this process of using analogue tape to create these loops. And we just came to the conclusion that it should just be the end. I think it's the perfect bookmark to My Cosmos Is Mine which sets up everything."
>

Engineer Marta Salogni told Sound On Sound:

> "I also was honoured to receive a writing credit on one song, 'Speak To Me'. It was written by Dave, and James and I literally locked ourselves in the studio one day and completely remade his demo, and presented it to him. He loved it, so much that he gave us a writing credit on it. We changed key, changed tempo, and took out all the instruments, and built the arrangement back up from the vocals. James and I used the EMS Synthi A for a lot of this, for example creating the high-pitched drones and the heavy kicks at the end."

## Lyrics

Speak to me, and I will follow

I heard you call my name

Lying, on the bathroom floor

No one here to blame

There's a message I know can be found

I'm listening, I hear you, your sound

Speak to me, in a language

That I can understand

Tell me, that you're listening

Give me some kind of plan

Give me something, you'd be my drug of choice

You lead me, I follow, your voice

I will disappoint you

I will let you down

I need to know

You're here with me

Turn it all around

I'd be grateful, I'd follow you around

I'm listening, I'm here now, I'm found
I Sometimes Wish I Was Dead

"**I Sometimes Wish I Was Dead**" is the second track on Depeche Mode's first studio album, *Speak & Spell*.

This song was put on a Flexidisc for the 1981-09-11 issue of Flexipop magazine, and was reissued in 2018 as part of the 12" singles vinyl boxsets, sourced from the master tape. The Flexipop version is different from the album version, which was released later in 1981 as part of "Speak & Spell". On the Flexidisc, the song is titled Sometimes I Wish I Was Dead (the positions of the first two words are swapped).

## Lyrics

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

Nothing

"**Nothing**" is the ninth track on Depeche Mode's sixth studio album, *Music for the Masses*.

## Lyrics

Sitting target, sitting waiting

Anticipating nothing, nothing

Life is full of surprises

It advertises nothing, nothing

What am I trying to do?

What am I trying to say?

I'm not trying to tell you anything

You didn't know when you woke up today

Sitting target, sitting praying

And God is saying nothing, nothing

Always knows the prospects

Learn to expect nothing, nothing

What am I trying to do?

What am I trying to say?

I'm not trying to tell you anything

You didn't know when you woke up today

(Nothing, nothing, nothing, nothing)

(Nothing, nothing, nothing, nothing)

Nothing, oh no, nothing, oh no
People Are People (album)

***People Are People*** is a Depeche Mode compilation album released in North America by Sire Records on 2 July 1984. Sire sensed it needed a new approach in its release policy since the band's 1983 effort *Construction Time Again* had failed to chart in the US.

Two of the nine tracks were new to the American audience: the latest single "People Are People" and "Now, This Is Fun", the B-side of the non-American 7" "See You". It was also the first time that the 7" versions of "Leave in Silence" and "Get the Balance Right!" were released in the United States. The album version of "Love, in Itself" was selected for this compilation, but with a "clean" ending, since on *Construction Time Again* the track fades into "More Than a Party".

The album was released in July 1984 to relatively little notice. It re-entered the charts and sold better, when the title track became a summer hit in 1985. The album later was certified Gold by the RIAA for shipments of half a million copies. Its success led to the release of yet another compilation album in late 1985: *Catching Up with Depeche Mode*.

The album was originally released on LP and CD with the band name and album name missing from the album cover. These names were then added to the covers for later re-releases.

A poster for the album appears on the bedroom wall toward the end of John Hughes's *Weird Science* (1985).

## Critical reception

AllMusic were mixed in their reception to the album, rating the album two and a half stars out of five.

## Track listing

* All songs written by Martin Gore, except for 'Work Hard', written by Martin Gore and Alan Wilder.
* All songs sung by David Gahan, except 'Pipeline', sung by Martin Gore.

Mercy in You

"**Mercy in You**" is the fourth track on Depeche Mode's eighth studio album, *Songs of Faith and Devotion*.

## Lyrics

You know what I need when my heart bleeds

I suffer from greed, a longing to feed

On the mercy in you

I can't conceal the way I'm healed

The pleasure I feel when I have to deal

With the mercy in you

I would do it all again

Lose my way and fall again

Just so I could call again

On the mercy in you, the mercy in you

When here in my mind I feel inclined

To wrongly treat you unkind, I have faith I will find

The mercy in you

I would lose my way again

Be led hopelessly astray again

Just so I could pray again

For the mercy in you

When here in my mind I have been blind

Emotionally behind, I have faith I will find

The mercy in you, the mercy in you

The mercy in you, the mercy in you
Missing Princess Script version (draft) Chapter 1

# Chapter One: Myth

**Princess Nary:**

 In a faraway kingdom, Princess Callie was trying to calm Princess Pepper, but Princess Pepper was not the kind of Pegasus who liked royal duties. She wasn’t even a Pega-corn

**Impostor Princess Pepper:** I am sick of these wings! Wish I was born as a Unicorn instead!

She paced all the way outside the Crystal Castle and said,

**Impostor Princess Pepper:** Stop following me!

Princess Callie, who tried to get Princess Pepper failed to catch her. She was almost
out of breath and Pepper was too fast.

**Princess Callie:** [shouting] Princess Pepzeina, I am sorry. But, it is not my fault that you are born as a Pegasus.

Princess Callie tried hard, but nothing stopped Princess Pepper in any way.

**Princess Callie:** [whispering] Pepper stop running away. I know that you did not want to be born with wings.

**Impostor Princess Pepper:** I, Pepper do not want wings. Pepper wants a horn, real horn that is filled with magical powers!

With those words, Princess Pepper crashed out of the castle and flew away to her
secret cave.

**…**

That night,
Princess Pepper had a hard time sleeping and giggling for her mission to
finally be completed.

**Impostor Princess Pepper:** [whispering to herself] I shalt be the
only… Of course, I shalt be the only princess in the world. The world will soon
become MINE! [Evil laugh]

As
she laughed, the Crystal door made a small noise and a strange mare came inside Princess Pepper’s room.

**Queen Sheepy:** Princess Pepper [winking], would you like to make a deal?

**Impostor Princess Pepper:** Can thou grant my wish?

**Queen Sheepy:** Of course.

**Impostor Princess Pepper:** Okay, I have a wish that…I always I
wished to be… I wish that I could have…have a Unicorn’s horn.

**Queen Sheepy:** A Unicorn’s horn? Are you sure?

**Impostor Princess Pepper:** Yes, I am sure. I demand it right now!

**Queen Sheepy:** Your wish is going to be granted. But, thou must go
into the portal in the Canter Castle Throne room. And, promise me. You will never come back to Ponies’. I will repeat. You will never come back to Ponies’. Never.

**Impostor Princess Pepper:** But, if I do not go in, will I still get my wish?

**Queen Sheepy:** No, thou must go into the portal. Or, if thou do not go into the portal, that means thou have declined the deal.

**Impostor Princess Pepper:** I accept the deal. I will never see anything from here again.

**Queen Sheepy:** Okay, it’s a deal.

**Queen Sheepy:** Now, go into the portal. I have casted a spell. If you go into the portal, you will get thy wish, thy horn.

And that’s how all the problems finally began…

A Little Lie

"**A Little Lie**" is the ninth track on Dave Gahan's second studio album, *Hourglass*.

## Lyrics

That time has passed

Some things that never really last

We've come undone

To me you'll always be the one

Calm down people

It's just a little lie

You know it doesn't mean nothing

And I realize you could be right

Calm down people

It's just a little lie

You know it doesn't mean nothing

And I realize you could be right

I walk alone

And you know I've never felt at home

I'm so hard to please

And I have everything I need

Oh, calm down people

It's just a little lie

You know it doesn't mean nothing

And I realize you could be right

Oh, calm down people

It's just a little lie

You know it doesn't mean nothing

And I realize you could be right

Calm down people

It's just a little lie

You know it doesn't mean nothing

And I realize you could be right

Oh, calm down people

It's just a little lie

You know it doesn't mean nothing

And I realize you could be right
Sometimes

"**Sometimes**" is the fourth track on Depeche Mode's fifth studio album, *Black Celebration*.

## Lyrics

(Sometimes)

Sometimes, only sometimes

I question everything

And I'm the first to admit

If you catch me in a mood like this

I can be tiring, even embarrassing

But you must feel the same

When you look around

You can't tell me honestly

You're happy with what you see

Oh sometimes, only sometimes

You must be

You must be

As embarrassing as me

Ooh, sometimes

## Lyrics

My love, the world's upside down

My love, no solid ground

My love, there are no more facts

My love, reality's cracked

And then there's you

There's always you

You're all I need to keep believing

And then there's you

There's always you

The air that keeps my spirit breathing

And then there's you

There's always you

My love, there are no more words

My love, life's too absurd

My love, I could not explain

My love, why insanity reigns

And then there's you

There's always you

The light that leads me from the darkness

And then there's you

There's always you

Your grace and holiness are endless

And then there's you

There's always you, there's always you

There's always you, there's always you

There's always you

And then there's you

There's always you, there's always you

There's always you, there's always you

It Doesn't Matter

"**It Doesn't Matter**" is the fourth track on Depeche Mode's fourth studio album, *Some Great Reward*.

## Lyrics

I am happy that I have you

Even though you're not here now

I know somewhere you are dreaming

Though it's definitely not of me

It doesn't matter if this all shatters

Nothing lasts forever

But I'm praying that we're staying

Together

I am warmed by your friendship

Even when you're far away

And I'm happy in the knowledge

We may never see the day

When I kiss you and you kiss me

Don't pretend you miss me

The worst kind of diseased mind

Is one filled with jealousy

If we should meet again

Don't try to solve the puzzle

Just lay down next to me

And please don't move a muscle

I will thank you most of all for

The respect you have for me

I'm embarrassed it overwhelms me

Because I don't deserve any

It doesn't matter if this all shatters

Nothing lasts forever

But I'm praying that we're staying

Together

Never Let Me Go

## Never Let Me Go

### Studio

## Lyrics

I'm waiting for your love

I know you'll want me

When your body's had enough

Your senses will see

There's only so much time

We have to play with

To waste it is a crime

We have so much to give

When uncertainty parts

You'll be ready to concede

It was plain from the start

You've been running from me

And I have been patient

I have been so calm

Bit my lips through the torment

Please fall into my arms

Never let me go

Watch our dreams unfold in colour

Underneath love's moon we'll wander

Never let me go

The angels will praise us

The world will seem right

We'll pull it out of the darkness

And into the light

We will be beacons

Shining so bright

Like stars in the darkness

For lovers at night

We will be beacons

Shining so bright

Like stars in the darkness

For lovers at night

Never let me go
Any Second Now (Voices)

"**Any Second Now**" is the tenth track on Depeche Mode's first studio album, *Speak & Spell*. The vocal version of the song has never been played live; only the B-side instrumental has been used as a concert intro.

## Lyrics

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
The Meaning of Love

"**The Meaning of Love**" is the seventh track and the second single on Depeche Mode's second studio album, *A Broken Frame*. It was released on April 26, 1982.

## Lyrics

I've read more than a hundred books

Seen love mentioned many thousand times

But despite all the places I've looked

It's still no clearer, it's just not enough

I'm still no nearer, the meaning of love

The meaning of love

Noted down all my observations

Spent an evening watching television

Still, I couldn't say with precision

Know it's a feeling and it comes from above

But what's the meaning, the meaning of love?

The meaning of love (Tell me)

From the notes that I've made so far

Love seems something like wanting a scar

Well I could be wrong

I'm just not sure, you see

I've never been in love before

Next, I asked several friends of mine

If they could spare a few minutes of their time

Their looks suggested that I'd 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)

From the notes that I've made so far

Love seems something like wanting a scar

Well I could be wrong

I'm just not sure, you see

I've never been in love before

The meaning of love (Tell me)
