DEPECHE MODE

ENJOY THE SILENCE

AUDREY, START THE REVOLUTION! (ameteur youth)

MAYBE TONIGHT WELL GET BACK TOGETHER
SOUND THE ALARMS BREAK ALL THE LEVERS
THESE STREETS ARE OURS
OUR ANTHEM RINGS
YOU'D KNOW THE TRUTH
IF THESE WALLS COULD SING
AMATEUR YOUTH SLING DOWN THE SIGNS
GATHER THE MASSES FRIENDS OF MINE
IVE GOT YOUR BACK IF YOU GOT MY HAND
THIS ISNT OVER ITS ONLY JUST BEGUN
IF THIS ISNT LOVE
THIS IS THE CLOSEST I'VE EVER BEEN
DO YOU THINK WE HAVE A CHANCE TONIGHT
AS STREETLIGHTS SING ON AUDREY'S SONG
REMIND YOUR PARENTS THAT WERE TOMORROW
LEAD WITH MORALS AND WE'LL FOLLOW
WHEN THEY WAKE UP THEY TO WILL SEE
THAT YOUTH FADES
AND GLORY DAYS DECIEVE
WHAT ARE YOU WAITING FOR LETS MOVE ON THIS
TIME IS OF ESSENCE MUCH LIKE YOUR KISS
SO SAY YOUR IN WITH CARDS DOWN
AND GUNDS DRAWN THIS IS IT
AND NOW IT STOPS AT THIS
WE COULD TAKE IT ALL
IF WE WOULD ONLY RISK
YOU CAN BE WHAT YOU CAN CONCIEVE
RED LETTERS KILL YOUR DISBELIEF
WE ALL MAKE MISTAKES SOMETIMES
WE ALL HAVE FAILED WHERE WE STAND TONIGHT
LOOK PAST, LEARN, AND MOVE ON
WERE ALL HERE, YOUR NOT THE ONLY ONE

THE FEEL GOOD DRAG

IM HERE FOR YOU SHE SAID
YOU CAN STAY FOR AWHILE
MY BOYFRIENDS GONE
AND FOR TONIGHT WE COULD JUST PRETEND
LIPS THAT NEED NO INTRODUCTION
NOW WHOSE THE GREATEST SIN
YOUR DRAB EYES SEEM TO ENTICE
BUT TELL ME DARLLING
WHERE DO WE BEGIN?
WAS THIS OVER BEFORE
BEFORE IT EVER BEGAN
YOUR KISS
YOUR CALLS
YOUR CRUTCHES
LIKE THE DEVILS GOT YOUR HANDS
THIS WAS OVER BEFORE
BEFORE IT EVER BEGAN
YOUR LIPS YOUR LIES YOUR LUST
THE DEVIL IN YOUR HANDS
EVERYONE IN THIS TOWN
IS SEEING SOMEONE ELSE
EVERBODIES TIRED OF SOMEONE
OUR EYES WONDER FOR HELP
PRAYERS THAT NEED NO ANSWER NOW
IM TIRED OF WHO I AM
YOU WERE MY GREATEST MISTAKE
FELL IN LOVE WITH YOUR SIN
YOUR LITTLEST SIN
FAILURE IS YOUR DISEASE
YOU WANT MY OUTLINE DRAWN
YOU ARE MY GREATEST FAILURE
DISCOURSE YOUR SAVING SONG
YOU KNOW YOU HAVE NO FUTURE
SO STOP TRYING TO RUIN MINE
STAY OUT OF MY LIFE FOREVER

A HEAVY HEARTED WORK OF STAGGERING GENIUS

THE PAPERTHIN HYMN

(zu meine oma)
when your only friends are hotel rooms
hands are distant lullibies
if i could turn around i would tonight
these roads never seemed so long
since your paper heart stoped beating
leaving me suddenly alone
will daybreak ever come
whose going to call on sunday morning
whose going to drive you home
i just want one more chance
to place my arms in fragile hands
i thought you said forever
over and over
a sleepless night becomes
bitter oblivion
these thoughts run through my head
over and over
complaints of violins become my only friends
august evenings bring solemn warnings
to remember to kiss the one you love goodbye
you never know what temporal days may bring
so laugh, love, live free and sing
when life is in dischord, "praise ye the Lord"

NEVER TAKE FRIENDSHIP PERSONAL

(you told me to 'write a song about it'
so here's your song...)
THERES THE HATCHET GRAB MY KNIFE
WHEN I WOKE THERE WAS NOTHING REAL IN THIS LIFE
BUT DREAMS ARE SO INTOXICATING
WHEN YOUR DOING THIS ALONE
GUN ROPE BRICK ON THE WAY
BUT WORDS HAVE NO MEANING
WHEN ITS YOU THAT SAYS I REALLY DO CARE
NO BABY I REALLY DO CARE
INNOCENCE GONE
NEVER TAKE FRIENDSHIP PERSONAL
YOU CANT HOLD YOURSELF TOGETHER
WHY SHOULD I HOLD YOU NOW?
IN A SENSE GONE
NEVER TAKE FRIENDSHIP PERSONAL
YOU CANT HOLD YOURSELF TOGETHER
WHY SHOULD I HOLD YOU NOW?
ONCE THE SCEPTIC NOW THE CRITIC
AND YOU HAVE FINALLY FOUND A PLACE OF YOUR OWN
AMONGST THE COLD AND TIMID SOULS WHERE ONLY FAILURE KNOWS YOUR NAME
LOOK AROUND FOR THE CLOSEST TO BLAME
BUT LOOK NO FURTHER THAN THE HANDS BENEATH YOUR ARMS
AND NOW YOUR SIX FEET DOWN BURRIED WITH
WITH YOUR PASSING FAME
OH YOU LIE
TELL ME SOMETHING MORE THAN WHAT YOU HIDE
IF YOU CANT FIND YOURSELF THEN HOW CAN I EXPECT TO FIND YOU
OH YOU CRY
TELL ME SOMETHING MORE THAN WHAT YOU TRY
THE GREATEST TRAGEDY IS NOT YOUR DEATH
BUT THAT YOUR LIFE HAS NO REASON
THAT YOUR LIFE HAD NO PURPOSE

TIME AND CONFUSION

LIVE FOR TODAY WELL DREAM TOMMOROW
WE'VE GOT BIG PLANS IN SIGHT
WELL TAKE SEATTLE AND BY NIGHTFALL
THE BRIGHT LIGHTS ARE CALLING
EVERYTHING IS GOING OUR WAY
EVERYTHING IS JUST AS WE PLANNED
THIS IS THE FUTURE FROM WHAT WE'VE HEARD
AND IVE STILL GOT YOUR HAND
AND IT FEELS LIKE WE COULD LIVE FOREVER
BUT IM NOT DOING THIS ALONE
WHEN MEMORIES FADE
WEVE GOT EACH OTHER
WHEN TIME AND CONFUSION COLLIDE
I HOLD IT ALL WHEN I HOLD YOU
WHEN FRIENDS WALK OTHER WAYS
WEVE GOT EACTH OTHER
WHEN TIME AND CONFUSION COLLIDE
I HOLD IT ALL WHEN I HOLD YOU
WE FELL ON HARD TIMES,
THIS ISN'T THE IDEAL
MILES FROM HOME DOING THE BEST THAT WE CAN
I WONT DO THIS WITHOUT YOU
NO NOTHING WITHOUT YOU
BUT TAKE HEART BECAUSE YOU KNOW THAT YOU HAVE MINE
ITS NOT ABOUT THE MONEY WE MAKE
ITS ABOUT THE PASSIONS THAT WE ACHE FOR
WHAT MAKES YOUR HEART BEAT FASTER
TELL ME NOW WHAT DOES YOUR BODY LONG AFTER
I DONT CARE WHERE WE LIVE
ITS NOT WHERE, OR WHAT, OR WHO WE WERE WITH
I JUST NEED YOU IN MY LIFE
SO PROMISE ME AGAIN

THE DAY LATE

SO LET ME GET THIS STRAIGHT
YOU SAY NOW YOUVE LOVED ME ALL ALONG
WHAT MADE YOU HESITATE TO TELL ME WITH WORDS HOW YOU REALLY FEEL
I CAN SEE IT IN YOUR EYES YOU MEAN ALL OF WHAT YOU SAY
I REMEMBER SO LONG AGO SEE I FELT THAT SAME WAY
NOW WE BOTH HAVE SEPERATE LIVES AND LOVERS
INSIGNIFICANTLY ENOUGH WE BOTH HAVE SIGNIFICANT OTHERS
ONLY TIME WILL TELL
TIME WILL TURN AND TELL
WE ARE WHO WE WERE WHEN
COULD HAVE BEEN LOVERS
BUT AT LEAST YOUR STILL MY DAY LATE FRIEND
WE ARE WHO, WE ARE WHO WE WERE WHEN
WHO KNEW WHAT WE KNEW NOW
COULD HAVE BEEN MORE BUT AT LEAST YOUR STILL MY DAY LATE FRIEND
WE ARE WHO, WE ARE WHO WE WERE WHEN
BUT THOUGHTS THEY CHANGE AND TIMES THEY REARANGE
I DONT KNOW WHO YOU ARE ANYMORE
LOVES COME AND GO NOW THIS I KNOW
IM NOT WHO YOU RECALL ANYMORE
BUT I MUST CONFESS YOUR SO MUCH MORE THAN I REMEMBER
CANT HELP BUT ENTERTAIN THOSE THOUGHTS OF US TOGHETHER
SO LET ME GET THIS STRAIGHT
ALL THESE YEARS AND YOU WERE NO WHERE TO BE FOUND
AND NOW YOU WANT ME FOR YOUR OWN
BUT YOUR A DAY LATE AND MY LOVE, SHE'S STILL RENOWNED

THE RUNAWAYS

COME CLOSER NOW
I KNOW YOUR DESIRE IS TO BE DESIRED
STEAL A KISS YET CALL US FRIENDS
DISTANCE IS THE THIEF IN WHICH YOU CONSPIRE
TIME WILL TELL
TIME WILL TELL OR TEAR US APART
MILES AWAY
SILENCE REVEALS WHO YOU REALLY ARE
YOU ONLY STAND TO BREAK MY HEART
I CAN TELL IT BY THE WAY YOU RUNAWAY
ITS CLEARER NOW
YOUR NO WHERE INTO GIVING INTO ME
ITS NOW YOUR FAULT
YOUR LIKE A RARE DISEASE
YOUR IN LOVE WITH LOVE
YES I BELIEVE
DO YOU EXPECT ME TO WAIT HERE
ALL ALONE IN MY THOUGHTS AND FEARS
MY WHOLE LIFE COULD CRASH BEFORE YOUR EYES
HOPE ONE DAY YOU'LL REALIZE
THIS ISNT THE WAY ITS SUPPOSED TO BE
THIS IS YOUR LIFE GIRL NOW
WITHOUT ME
MAY REGRETS WELL UP INSIDE
AS FEELINGS FOR YOU ARE BURIED ALIVE
I ONLY STAND TO BREAK YOUR HEART
YOU CAN TELL IT BY THE WAY I WALKAWAY
RUNAWAY GIRL

JUST ANOTHER DOWNTOWN SONG

HEY UPTOWN GIRL CAN YOU HEAR THIS DOWNTOWN SONG
WROTE A COUPLE OF WORDS TO TELL YOU RIGHT HERE IS WHERE YOU BELONG
I WATCH YOU WALK THE STREETS WONDERING WHO YOUR THINKING OF
HOPING YOUR LOOKING FOR SOMEONE AND NOT AT ALL IN LOVE
AND I WONDER IF YOU RELATE TO NIGHTS UPON YOUR PILLOWCASE
EYES WIDE OPEN MIDDLE OF THE NIGHT YOUR THE LAST THING ON MY MIND
ONLY THE LONELY KNOW WHAT NIGHTS LIKE THESE DO TO ME
I KEEP ASKING MYSELF IF OUR HANDS WERE MEANT TO MEET
I KNOW THIS TOWN IS BUSY BUT I LIVE ON A WINTER HAVEN STREET
WE COULD GET OUT HERE IF ONLY FOR TONIGHT
IM NOT JUST SOME ROLLING STONE THAT WANTS TO WASTE YOUR LIFE
AND I WONDER IS IT ME YOUR THINKING OF
WITH THAT SMILE ON YOUR FACE
I PRAY YOUR NOT IN LOVE
WITH SOMEONE ELSE WITH SOMEONE NEW
WITH SOMETHING OTHER THAN ME TOUCHING YOU
I WANT TO BE WHERE YOU ARE
IF EVER YOUR LONELY I WONT BE FAR

STATIONARY STATIONERY

DO THEY NOT HAVE PEN OR PAPER WHERE YOU ARE
BECAUSE I HAVENT HEARD FROM YOU IN AGES
TRY TO RELIVE EACH MEMORY FROM TIME TO TIME
READ NOTES EXCHANGED WITH ALL THOSE SCENTED PAGES
ITS COMING BACK ITS ALL COMING BACK TO ME NOW
JUST TELL ME THAT EVERYTHING TURNED OUT ALRIGHT
BECAUSE IM WHERE WE SAID THAT WE'D MEET TONIGHT
DOES HE TREAT YOU LIKE YOU WANT
DOES HE ASK TO TAKE YOUR HAND
DOES HE BELIEVE IN DREAMS WE TALKED ABOUT
WHEN WITH NO MUSIC WE DANCED
I THOUGHT YOU SAID THAT YOUD COME FIND ME
I THOUGHT YOU SAID YOUD BE HOME BY NOW
I THOUHGT YOU SANG THAT YOU'D COME BACK HERE
SO I WROTE TO REMIND YOU TO SOMEHOW
DANCE BY YOURSELF AND THINK OF ME WHEN YOU DO
IM NOT SURE YOU UNDERSTAND
WHAT YOU MEAN TO ME
WHAT YOU DO TO ME
BUT IM WILLING TO PROVE ITS TRUE
THAT YOUR THE ONE
I REGRET TO SLIP AWAY
AND I KNOW IT WAS ONLY YOU
THAT IVE BEEN DREAMING OF
BEEN MISSING ALL THIS TIME
LET THE PAST BE PAST
LETS START TODAY
LETTERS WONT DO
I NEED TO SEE YOUR FACE
TELL ME WHERE TO MEET YOU
AND ILL TELL YOU WHY WE SHOULD BE

(the syphony of) blasé

ARE THERE NO SHADOWS WHERE YOU ARE
I CAN SEE EVERYTHING AS DAY
PROBLEMS THAT YOU TRY TO HIDE AWAY
ARE PUSHING ME ASIDE
COULD THE WINTER CALM COME TWICE
BECAUSE YOUR HEART SEEMS SO COLD TONIGHT
THIRST FOR SUBSTANCE SOMEHOW ISNT RIGHT
ITS KILLING YOU INSIDE
ITS KILLING ME INSIDE
I DONT WANT TO BE WHERE YOU ARE
I DONT WANT TO BE HERE EVEN NOW
I DONT WANT YOU BY MY SIDE
WHEN SOMETHING ISN'T RIGHT
THIS IS OUR LAST GOODNIGHT
SAY WHAT YOU WILL
SAY WHAT YOU CAN
WORDS HAVE NO MEANING
WHEN IVE SEEN WHERE YOUV'E BEEN
THIS IS OUR LAST GOODNIGHT
SAY WHAT YOU WILL
BUT THIS IS OUR LAST GOODBYE
THIS IS WHERE OUR LOVE ENDS
ARE YOU SO NIAVE TO RIGHT AND WRONG
HOW COULD YOU WATCH INNOCENCE FORGONE
DOES WHAT WE HAVE DONE EVER REALLY BELONG?
ITS WASTED ME AWAY
GOD IF YOU CAN STILL HEAR ME OUT ALRIGHT
PLEASE TAKE THESE FEELINGS FOR HER INSIDE
MY CHEST HURTS WHEN I BREATH TONIGHT
THERE WAISTING ME AWAY

NEW FAST AUTOMATIC
