Depeche Mode - Puppets Lyrics

Depeche Mode - Puppets Video

Get that feeling, head is reeling

You think you're in control, but you don't know me, babe

I can move you, I can soothe you

I can take you places in a different way

 

And I don't think you understand

What I'm trying to say

I'll be your operator, baby

I'm in control

 

Watch your action, close reaction

And everything you're thinking, babe, inside your head

Conversation, my creation

Nothing that you do you do unless I said

 

And you don't know the consequences

Of the things you say

I'll be your operator, baby

I'm in control

 

And all the things you try to do, babe

And all the words we said before

Are only part of what I started, baby

And you can't stop me anymore

 

Get that feeling, head is reeling

You think you're in control, but you don't know me, babe

I can move you, I can soothe you

I can take you places in a different way

 

And I don't think you understand

What I'm trying to say

I'll be your operator, baby

I'm in control

Depeche Mode - Stripped Lyrics

Depeche Mode - Stripped Video

Come with me

Into the trees

We'll lay on the grass

And let the hours pass

 

Take my hand

Come back to the land

Let's get away

Just for one day

 

Let me see you stripped

Down to the bone

Let me see you stripped

Down to the bone

 

Metropolis

Has nothing on this

You're breathing in fumes

I taste when we kiss

 

Take my hand

Come back to the land

Where everything's ours

For a few hours

 

Let me see you stripped

Down to the bone

Let me 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)

Let me see you stripped

Down to the bone (let me hear you speaking just for me)

Depeche Mode - Sea Of Sin Lyrics

Depeche Mode - Sea Of Sin Video

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

Depeche Mode - It's No Good Lyrics

Depeche Mode - It's No Good Video

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

Until 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 gonna 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

Depeche Mode - Everything Counts Lyrics

Depeche Mode - Everything Counts Video

The handshake seals the contract

From the contract there's no turning back

The turning point of a career

In Korea being insincere

 

The holiday was fun-packed

The contract, still intact

 

The grabbing hands grab all they can

All for themselves after all

The grabbing hands grab all they can

All for themselves after all

It's a competitive world

Everything counts in large amounts

 

The graph on the wall

Tells the story of it all

Picture it now, see just how

The lies and deceit gained a little more power

 

Confidence taken in

By a suntan and a grin

 

The grabbing hands grab all they can

All for themselves after all

The grabbing hands grab all they can

All for themselves after all

It's a competitive world

Everything counts in large amounts

 

Everything counts in large amounts

 

The grabbing hands grab all they can

Everything counts in large amounts

The grabbing hands grab all they can

Everything counts in large amounts

 

Everything, everything

Everything, everything

 

The grabbing hands grab all they can

Everything counts in large amounts

The grabbing hands grab all they can

Everything counts in large amounts

 

Everything counts in large amounts

Depeche Mode - Rush Lyrics

Depeche Mode - Rush Video

Walk with me

Open your sensitive mouth and talk to me

Hold out your delicate hands and feel me

Couldn't make any plans to conceal me

 

Open your sensitive mouth

Hold out your delicate hands

With such a sensitive mouth

I'm easy to see through

 

When I come up

When I rush

I rush for you

 

Cry for you

Seen the tears roll down from my eyes for you

Heard my truth distorted to lies for you

Watched my love becoming a prize for you

 

Seen the tears in my eyes

Heard my truth turn to lies

Seen the tears in my eyes

I'm not proud of what I do

 

When I come up

When I rush

I rush for you

 

I come up to meet you

Up there somewhere

When I rush to greet you

My soul is bared

 

Gave more for you

Dropped my crutches and crawled on the floor for you

Went looking behind every door for you

And because of the things that I saw for you

I spiritually grew

 

When I come up

When I rush

I rush for you

 

I rush for you

Depeche Mode - Black Celebration Lyrics

Depeche Mode - Black Celebration Video

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 someone like

Me

 

I want to take you in my arms

Forgetting all I couldn't do today

 

Black celebration

Black celebration

Tonight

 

To celebrate the fact

That we've seen the back

Of another black

Day

 

I look 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

Tonight

Black celebration (I'll drink to that)

Depeche Mode - Sacred Lyrics

Depeche Mode - Sacred Video

Sacred

Holy

To put it in words, to write it down

That is walking on hallowed ground

But it's my duty

I'm a missionary

 

So here is my confession

It's an obsession

I'm a firm believer

And a warm receiver

 

And I've made my decision

This is religion

There's no doubt

I'm one of the devout

 

Trying to sell the story

Of love's eternal glory

 

Sacred

Holy

To put it in words, to write it down

That is walking on hallowed ground

But it's my duty

I'm a missionary

 

Spreading the news around the world

Taking the word to boys and girls

I'm a firm believer

And a warm reciever

 

And I will go down on my knees

When I see beauty

There's no doubt

I'm one of the devout

 

Trying to sell the story

Of love's eternal glory

 

Sacred

Holy

To put it in words, to write it down

That is walking on hallowed ground

But it's my duty

I'm a missionary

 

Sacred

Holy

 

Sacred (to put it in words, to write it down)

Holy (that is walking on hallowed ground)

Depeche Mode - Route 66 Lyrics

Depeche Mode - Route 66 Video

Well if you ever plan to motor west

Travel my way, take the highway that's the best

Get your kicks on Route 66

 

Well it winds from Chicago to LA

More than two thousand miles all the way

Get your kicks on Route 66

 

Well it goes to St. Louis, down to Missouri

Oklahoma City looks oh, so pretty

You'll see Amarillo, Gallup, New Mexico

Flagstaff, Arizona, don't forget Winona

Kingman, Barstow, San Bernardino

 

If you get hip to this kind of tip

I think I'll take that California trip

Get your kicks on Route 66

Depeche Mode - The Things You Said Lyrics

Depeche Mode - The Things You Said Video

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 friends, about the things you said

 

I've never felt so disappointed

Never felt so disappointed

They know my weaknesses (I never tried to hide them)

They know my weaknesses (thought that you liked them)

 

They know me better than that

Depeche Mode - Behind The Wheel Lyrics

Depeche Mode - Behind The Wheel Video

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

Depeche Mode - Monument Lyrics

Depeche Mode - Monument Video

When the site was found

We laid the foundations down

It didn't take long

Before they came back tumbling down

 

Don't build at night

You need a little light

How else are you going to see

What it's going to be like?

 

So we picked up our tools

And we worked in the morning light

With the last stone placed

Wasn't it a wonderful site?

 

But it fell back down

And scattered all around

Anything passes when you need

Glasses

 

My monument

It fell down

My monument

It fell down

 

My monument

It fell down

My monument

It fell down

 

Work all of my days

For this kind of praise

Work all of my days

For this kind of praise

 

It fell down

Work all of my days

It fell down

Work all of my days

It fell down

Work all of my days

It fell down

Depeche Mode - Photographic Lyrics

Depeche Mode - Photographic Video

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 till you recognize the choice

 

I take pictures

Photographic pictures

 

Bright light

Dark room

Bright light

Dark room

 

I said I'd write a letter, but I never got the time

Then I'm looking to the day, I mesmerize the light

The years I spent just thinking of a moment we both knew

A second passed like an empty room, it seems it can't be true

 

I take pictures

Photographic pictures

 

Bright light

Dark room

Bright light

Dark room

 

I take pictures

Photographic pictures

 

Bright light

Dark room

Depeche Mode - Dangerous Lyrics

Depeche Mode - Dangerous Video

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

Depeche Mode - Shout Lyrics

Depeche Mode - Shout Video

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

Depeche Mode - Policy Of Truth Lyrics

Depeche Mode - Policy Of Truth Video

You had something to hide

Should have hidden it, shouldn't you?

Now you're not satisfied

With what you're being put through

 

It's just time to pay the price

For not listening to advice

And deciding in your youth

On the policy of truth

 

Things could be so different now

It used to be so civilized

You will always wonder how

It could have been if you'd only lied

 

It's too late to change events

It's time to face the consequence

For delivering the proof

In the policy of truth

 

Never again is what you swore

The time before

Never again is what you swore

The time before

 

Now you're standing there, tongue tied

You'd better learn your lesson well

Hide what you have to hide

And tell what you have to tell

 

You'll see your problems multiplied

If you continually decide

To faithfully pursue

The policy of truth

 

Never again is what you swore

The time before

Never again is what you swore

The time before

Depeche Mode - Shake The Disease Lyrics

Depeche Mode - Shake The Disease Video

I'm not going down on my knees begging you to adore me

Can't you see it's misery and torture for me

When I'm misunderstood try as hard as you can

I've tried as hard as I could

To make you see how important it is for me

 

Here is a plea from my heart to you

Nobody knows me as well as you do

You know how hard it is for me to shake the disease

That takes hold of my tongue in situations like these

 

Understand me

Understand me

Understand me

Understand me

 

Some people have to be permanently together

Lovers devoted to each other forever

Now I've got things to do and I've said before

That I know you have too when I'm not there

In spirit I'll be there

 

Here is a plea from my heart to you

Nobody knows me as well as you do

You know how hard it is for me to shake the disease

That takes hold of my tongue in situations like these

 

Understand me

Understand me

Understand me

Understand me

 

Here is a plea from my heart to you

Nobody knows me as well as you do

You know how hard it is for me to shake the disease

That takes hold of my tongue in situations like these

 

Here is a plea from my heart to you

Nobody knows me as well as you do

You know how hard it is for me to shake the disease

That takes hold of my tongue in situations like these

 

Here is a plea from my heart to you

Nobody knows me as well as you do

You know how hard it is for me to shake the disease

That takes hold of my tongue in situations like these
