Tora! Tora! Two Minute Warning Waiting for the Night Walking in My Shoes What's Your Name? Work Hard World Full of Nothing World in My Eyes Note: I would first like to thank the person who originally typed this file up. While that person made many omissions (anything after the letter "I"), what was not omitted was well done. I would also like to thank Anson Mayers for typing in "Sea of Sin". My contribution has been to format this file so it is Gopher-compatible and to include Songs of Faith and Devotion. I also included all songs after "I" from the albums Black Celebration, A Broken Frame, Construction Time Again, Music for the Masses, Some Great Reward, and Violator. All of the singles and the songs from Catching Up with Depeche Mode, 101, and People Are People were typed in by the original typist. Thanks also go to: o Janos Kormendi for verifying some lyrics and pointing out errors in others. o Myrna y Marca for pointing out that I had forgotten to include the lyrics for "In Your Room". Thank you both! If you find any errors, please contact me. FTPd to ftp.uwp.edu on 10 May 1993 Dale W.R.

More than two thousand miles all the way Get your kicks on Route 66 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 You're behind the wheel Well it goes to St. Louie down to Missouri Oklahoma City looks - oh so pretty You'll see Amarillo, Gallup- New Mexico Flagstaff- Arizona, don't forget Wynona. Kingman, Bosco, San Bernadino If you get hip to this kind of tip then you'll take that California trip Get your kicks on route 66 Get your kicks on route 66 Get your kicks on route 66 You're behind the wheel You're behind the wheel You're behind the wheel @SONG: BIG MUFF -- Speak and Spell (Instrumental) @SONG: BLACK CELEBRATION -- Black Celebration Let's have a black celebration Black Celebration Tonight To celebrate the fact That we've seen the back Of another black day I look to you How you carry on When all hope is gone Can't you see Your optimistic eyes Seem like paradise To

to you And your strong belief Me, I want relief Tonight Consolation I want so much Want to feel your touch Tonight Take me in your arms Forgetting all you couldn't do today Black Celebration I'll drink to that Black Celebration Tonight @SONG: BLASPHEMOUS RUMOURS -- Some Great Reward and Catching Up with Depeche Mode Girl of 16 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 16 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 humor And when I die I expect to find Him laughing Girl of 18 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's 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 humor And when I die I expect to find Him laughing Ssss.... @SONG: BLUE DRESS -- Violator Put it on And don't say a word Put it on The one that I prefer Put it on And stand before my eyes Put it on Please don't question why Can you believe Something so simple Something so trivial Makes me a happy man Can't you understand Say you believe Just how easy It is to please me Because when you learn You'll know what makes the world turn Put it on I can feel so much Put it on I don't need to touch Put it on Here before my eyes Put it on Because you realise And you believe Something so worthless Serves a purpose It makes me a happy man Can't you understand Say you believe Just how easy It is to please me Because when you learn You'll know what makes the world turn. @SONG: BOYS SAY GO -- Speak and Spell (Written by Vince Clarke) 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 it's forever Don't say no boys say go I could run away If you never stay And the rain and pain and the sorrow I'm not very sure When you close the door In the end it's the same as tomorrow Boys meet boys get together Boys meet boys it's forever Don't say no 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 it's forever Don't say no boys say go @SONG: BUT NOT TONIGHT -- Black Celebration 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 have been so red I've been mistaken for dead But not tonight @SONG: CLEAN -- Violator 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 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. @SONG: CONDEMNATION -- Songs of Faith and Devotion Condemnation Tried Here on the stand With the book in my hand And truth on my side Accusations Lies Hand me my sentence I'll show no repentance I'll suffer with pride If for honesty You want apologies I don't sympathize If for kindness You substitute blindness Please open your eyes Condemnation Why Because my duty Was always to beauty And that was my crime Feel elation High To know I can trust this Fix of

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 @SONG: IN YOUR ROOM In your room Where time stands still Or moves at your will Will you let the morning come soon Or will you leave me

armchair Or leave me lying here Your favourite innocence Your favourite prize Your favourite smile Your favourite slave I'm hanging on your words living on your breath feeling with your skin Will I

last for an hour Wounds aren't healing Inside of me Though it feel good now I know it's only for now The feeling is intense You grip me with your eyes And then I realise It doesn't matter @SONG: IT'S CALLED A HEART -- Catching Up With Depeche Mode (Chorus) There's something beating here Inside my body and it's called a heart You know how easy it is, To tear it apart If I lend it to you Will you keep it safe for me And if I lend it to you If you treat it tenderly There's something beating here Inside my body and it's called a heart There is a sun shining in the sky But that's not the reason why I'm feeling warm inside The answer isn't classified It's my heart From the moment I started I tried to be good-hearted Since I tried my best And more or less I spoke with my heart There's a lot to be learned And you learn when your heart gets burned (Chorus) Hearts can never be owned Hearts only come on loan If I want it back I will take it back I'll take my heart But I will try my best And more or less I'll speak from my heart Yes I will speak from my heart (Speak from my heart) @SONG: JUDAS -- Songs of Faith and Devotion Is simplicity the best Or simply the easiest The narrowest path

Just can't get enough @SONG: THE LANDSCAPE IS CHANGING -- Construction Time Again (Written by Allan Wilder) The landscape is changing The landscape is crying Thousand of acres of forest are dying Carbon copies from the hills about forests lie 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 rearranging 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 Talking gestures Some semblance of intelligence Can we be grateful? 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 @SONG: LEAVE IN SILENCE -- A Broken Frame and People Are People I've told myself so many times before But this time I think I mean it for sure We have reached a full stop Nothing's gonna save us from the big drop Reached our natural conclusion Outlived the illusions I hate being in these situations Back off of diplomatic relations If I only knew the answer or I thought we had a chance or I could stop this I would stop this thing from spreading like a cancer What can I say? I don't want to play anymore What can I say? I'm heading for the door I can't stand this emotional violence Leave in silence We've been running around in circles all year Doing this and that and getting nowhere This'll be the last time I think I said that last time If I only had a potion Some magical lotion I could stop this I would stop this I would set the wheels in motion What can I say?

see you Stripped down to the bone Let me hear you Make decisions Without your television Let me hear you speaking Just for me Let me see you Stripped down to the bone Let me hear you speaking Just for me Let me see you Stripped down to the bone Let me hear you crying Just for me @SONG: THE SUN & THE RAINFALL -- A Broken Frame Someone will call Something will fall And smash on the floor Without

and over again You're the one I like best You retain my interest You're the only one If it wasn't for you Don't know what I'd do Unpredictable like the sun And the rainfall Things must change We must rearrange them Or we'll have to estrange them All that I'm saying The game's not worth playing Over and over again @SONG: SWEETEST PERFECTION -- Violator 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 Takes me completely Touches so sweetly Reaches so deeply Nothing can stop me. @SONG: THE THINGS YOU SAID -- Music for the Masses I heard it from my friends About the things you said I heard it from my friends About the things you said But they know me better than that They know me better than that They know my weaknesses I never tried to hide them They know my weaknesses I never denied them I heard it from my friends About the things you said I heard it from my friends About the things you said How can a view become so twisted How can a view become so twisted They know my weaknesses I never tried to hide them They know my weaknesses You tried them I get so carried away You brought me down to earth I thought we had something precious Now I know what it's worth I heard it from my friends About the things you said I heard it from my

Construction Time Again and People Are People And do those feet In modern times Walk upon the flowers And walk upon their brothers while Heads are busy lying low Trying to keep to cover, oh Something went wrong Went along the way Everybody's waiting for judgment day So they can go, "Told you so" They can go, "Told you so" Bring me my arm Of itching desire Bring me my bullets And I will fire Sights set higher than the tall church spire Something went wrong Went along the way Everybody's waiting for judgment day So they can go, "Told you so" They can go, "Told you so" Standing in line, the blind lead the blind Waiting and waiting for an overdue sign Brothers and sisters Playing Chinese Whispers If things aren't suited Then they'll get diluted Here's one more dead with a hole in his head He shouldn't have said all the things he said Many tears were shed For the blood he bled Something went wrong Went along the way Everybody's waiting for judgment day So they can go, "Told you so" They can go, "Told you so" @SONG: TORA!
