=============== Speak And Spell (compiled by Vidar Hanssen) ===============
DREAMING OF ME ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Light switch, man switch Film was broken only then All the night, views tomorrow Dancing with a distant friend chorus: Filming and screening I picture the scene Filming and dreaming Dreaming of me And so we left understanding Clean cuts on the sounding past Talked of sad, I talked of war I laughed and climbed the rising cast chorus Quickly I remember views And saw a face before Timing, reason, understanding Like association hole chorus spoken: Dreaming of me Just dreaming of me It's only me Just me
ICE MACHINE ~~~~~~~~~~~~
Running through my head secretly The shout of the boys in the factory I ring you on the telephone silently Like blood like the wine of the dark room sea The dark room sea, dark room sea A letter once composed Seven years long and as tall as a tree Reading on the wall Efficient efficiency Efficiency efficiency Resurrect As a feeling On my window Of a past reunion Resurrect as a feeling On my window of a past reunion Vision of a picture Like the city and the air we breathe The air we breathe, air we breathe She stood beside me once again I knew her face We met before in the street We're calling all the children dancing at our feet The dancing feet, dancing feet
NEW LIFE ~~~~~~~~
I stand still stepping on the shady street And I watch that man to a stranger You think you only know me when you turn on the light Now the room is lit red danger chorus: Complicating, circulating New life, new life Operating, generating New life, new life Transition to another place All the time will pass more slowly Your features used and your shadows red Like a film I've seen now show me chorus Spaces hidden and we're out of sight And the road just leads to nowhere Stranger in the door is the same as before So the question answers no here chorus I stand still stepping on the shady street And I watch that man to a stranger You think you only know me when you turn on the light Now the room is lit red danger
I SOMETIMES WISH I WAS DEAD ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
New sound all around You can hear it too I'm getting hot never stop Just for me and you Playing on my radio And saying that you have to go New day turn away Wipe away the tear A new night feel allright 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 (never say goodbye) I know where to go But I don't know why You say that it's from above And I say this is modern love
PUPPETS ~~~~~~~
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 you 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 of inside your head Conversation My creation Nothing that you do you'll do unless I said And don't you 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 you think you understand What I'm trying to say I'll be your operator baby I'm in control
BOYS SAY GO! ~~~~~~~~~~~~
Boys say go! Boys say go! Boys say go! 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 chorus: 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 In the rain and the pain and the sorrow I'm not very sure when you close the door If the end it's the same as tomorrow chorus Boys, boys, boys, 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 chorus Go, go, go, go......
NODISCO ~~~~~~~
I saw you in the picture I saw you play the part This ain't nodisco There's a thousand watching you You take this too far This ain't nodisco Sometimes when I wonder if you're taking a chance This ain't nodisco and you know how to dance (to dance) chorus: Move me disco Baby don't you let go This ain't nodisco Part one act one everyone pretend This ain't nodisco This is no story and we're reaching the end This ain't nodisco Always makes me happy when you're taking a chance This ain't nodisco and you know how to dance chorus I saw you in the picture I saw you play the part This ain't nodisco There's a thousand watching you You take this too far This ain't nodisco Sometimes when I wonder if you're taking a chance This ain't nodisco and you know how to dance chorus 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 nodisco
WHAT'S YOUR NAME ? ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Sometimes watch you walk the street at midnight Sometimes I can feel you in the air Looking good, knew you would All the time I understood chorus: Hey you're such a pretty boy Hey you're such a pretty boy Hey you're such a pretty boy You're so pretty Everybody seems to look your way now (everybody seems to look your way) Everybody wants to know your name (hey hey, what's your name?) Feeling right, just tonight Hear them say you're out of sight chorus chorus All the boys we got to get together All the boys together we can say We can go, never know All the things we need to show chorus Hey you're such a pretty boy (you're so pretty) Hey you're such a pretty boy (you're so pretty) Hey you're such a pretty boy (P R E double-T Y) You're so pretty chorus
PHOTOGRAPHIC ~~~~~~~~~~~~
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 chorus: I take pictures Photographic pictures Bright light, dark room The right 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 spent just thinking Of a moment we both knew A second past like an empty room It seem's it can't be true chorus chorus Bright light, dark room The right light, dark room (repeated to fade)
TORA! TORA! TORA! ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
They were raining from the sky Exploding in my heart Is this the love in disguise Or just a form of modern art? chorus: >From the skies you could almost hear them cry "Tora! Tora! Tora!" In the town they were going down Tora! Tora! Tora! I had a nightmare only yesterday You played a skeleton You took my love and died that day I played an American chorus I played an American (repeated to fade)
ANY SECOND NOW (Voices) ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
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 Then 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
JUST CAN'T GET ENOUGH ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
When I'm with you baby I go out of my head And I just can't get enough And I just can't get enough All the things you do to me and everything you said I just can't get enough I just can't get enough We slip and slide as we fall in love And I just can't seem to get enough, ah We walk together we're walking down the street And I just can't get enough And I just can't get enough Everytime I think of you I know we have to meet I just can't get enough I just can't get enough It's getting harder it's a burning love And I just can't seem to get enough, ah I just can't get enough, I just can't get enough (repeated 8 times) And when it rains you're shining down for me And I just can't get enough And I just can't get enough Just like a rainbow you know you set me free And I just can't get enough And I just can't get enough You're like an angel and you give me your love And I just can't seem to get enough, ah I just can't get enough, I just can't get enough (repeated to fade)
============== A Broken Frame (From booklet that came with album) ==============
LEAVE IN SILENCE ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
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 going to stop save us from the big drop. Reached our natural conclusion, Outlived the illusion, I hate bein in these situations That call for 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 any more. What can I say, I'm heading for the door. I can't stand this emotional violence. Leave in silence Leave in silence. We've been running round in circles all year, Doing this and that and getting nowhere. This will be the last time, I think I said that last time. If I only had potion, Some magical lotion, That could stop this, I would set the wheels in motion.
MY SECRET GARDEN ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
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 a book, take a look - I loved her! Play the fool, act so cruel - I loved it! Read a 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.
MONUMENT ~~~~~~~~
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 yo going to see What it is going to be like! So we picked up the tools And we worked in the morning light, With the last stone placed Wasn't it a wonderful sight, 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 Work all of my days for this kind of praise, It fell down Work all of my days - it fell down.
SEE YOU ~~~~~~~
All I want to do is see you again. Is that too much to ask for? I just want to see your sweet smile, Smiled the way it was before. Well I'll try not to hold you And I'll try not to kiss you. And I won't even touch you. All I want to do is see you Don't you know that it's true. I remember the days when we walked through the woods, We'd sit on a bench for a while. I treasure the way we used to laugh and play And look in each others eyes. You can keep me at a distance if you don't trust my resistance. But I swear I won't touch you, Well I know five years is a long time and that times change But I think that you will find people are basically the same. If the water's still flowing we can go for a swim And do the things we used to do. And if I'm reluctant you can pull me in, We can relive our youth. But we'll just stay friendly like sister and brother Though I think I still love you.
SATELLITE ~~~~~~~~~
Now hear this my friends, I'll never be the same again, Going to lock myself in a cold black room, Going to shadow myself in a veil of gloom, I will function, operate, I will be a satellite of hate. Driven to this point by a chain of events, Each one pushed me nearer the edge. Going to send my message through to you, You'll receive the signal too I will function, operate, I will be a satellite of hate. Higher, Higher Disillusioned - I was disenchanted, Forgot the love that had been implanted, Heard the lies and I felt the cold, It broke my heart and I lost control- Now I'm in a satellite of a free state, I'm a satellite of hate.
YHE MEANING OF LOVE ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
I've read more than a hundred books, Seeing 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 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 (Tell me). >From the notes that I've made so far Love seems something like wanting a scar, But 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've lost my mind, Tell me the answer My Lord high above Tell me the meaning, The meaning of love >From the notes that I've made so far Love seems something like wanting a scar, But I could be wrong I'm just not sure you see I've never been in love before The meaning of love (Tell me) The meaning of love (Tell me)
A PHOTOGRAPH OF YOU ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
What good is a photograph of you? Everytime I look at it, It makes me feel blue! What use is a souveneir 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? Everytime I look at it, It makes me feel blue. What good is a photograph of you? Everytime I look at it, It makes me feel blue. Feel blue.
SHOULDN'T HAVE DONE THAT ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Plans made in the nursery Can change the course of history, Remember that! Mummy's annoyed, says go and play, Don't show your face, Stay away all day, Shouldn't have done that! A small boy and his infantry, Marching around so naturally, Shouldn't have done that! Grows up and goes to school, Such a nice boy, obeys all the rules, Mummy's proud of that. Leaves school to follow his ambition, Knows what he wants, To be a politician, Shouldn't have done that! -The Sun And The Rainfall- Someone will call, Something will fall And smash on the floor. Without reading the text, Know what comes next. See it before And it's painful. Things must change. We must re-arrange them Or will have to estrange them. All that I'm saying A game's not worth playing Over 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.
============ Construction Time Again (From booklet that came with album)===========
LOVE, IN ITSELF ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
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 All of these absurdities That lay before us All of the doubts And the certainties That lay in store for us
MORE THAN A PARTY ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Lots of surprises in store This isn't a party It's a whole lot more We've had enough of this blind man's buff You've kept us in the dark for long enough This is more than a party More than a party More than a party Keep telling us we're to have fun Then take all the ice cream so we've got none The failed magician waves his wand And in an instant the laughter's gone Lots of surprises in store This isn't a party It's a whole lot more
PIPELINE ~~~~~~~~
Get out the crane Construction time again What is it this time We're laying a pipeline Let the beads of sweat flow Until the ends have met though Could take a long time Working on the pipeline Taking from the greedy Giving to the needy On this golden day Work's been sent our way That could last a lifetime Working on the pipeline >From the heart of our land To the mouth of the man Must reach him sometime We're laying a pipeline Taking from the greedy Giving to the needy
EVERYTHING COUNTS ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
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 Everything counts in large amounts
TWO MINUTE WARNING ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
We're lying by the orange sky Two million miles across the land Scattered to the highest high Expect they'll either laugh or cry No sex, no consequence, no sympathy You're good enough to heat Two minute warning Two minutes later When time has come My days are numbered The dawning another year Marks time for those who understand One in four still here While you and I go hand in hand No radio, no sound, no sanctuary So welcome to your last The sun, the solitude, the cemetery So welcome to your last.
SHAME ~~~~~
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 Someything 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
THE LANDSCAPE IS CHANGING ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
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 Token gestures, some semblance of intelligence Can we be blamed for the security of ignorance
TOLD YOU SO ~~~~~~~~~~~
And do those feet in modern times Walk upon the flowers And walk upon their brothers While the heads are busying lying low Trying to keep to cover...oh Something went wrong Along the way Everybody's waiting for Judgement day So they can go Told you so Bring me my gun of itching desire Bring me my bullets and I will fire Sights set higher than a tall church spire 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 There'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
AND THEN... ~~~~~~~~~~~
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 Fro 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 as the start's Universal revolution (That's all!) And if we trust in our hearts We'll find the solutions 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
========= Some great Reward (From booklet that came with album) =================
SOMETHING TO DO ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
My little girl Won't you come with me Come with me Tell me Is there something to do I'm going crazy with boredom Come with me Tell me Grey sky over a black town I can feel depression All around You've got your leather boots on I can't stand another drink It's surprising this town Doesn't sink You've got your leather boots on You're pretty dress is oil stained from working too hard For too little You've got your leather boots on You're feeling the boredom too I'd gladly go with you I'd put your your leather boots on I'd put your pretty dress on
LIE TO ME ~~~~~~~~~
Come on and lay with me Come on and lie to me Tell me you love me Say I'm the only one Experiences have a lasting impression But words once spoken Don't mean a lot now Belief is the way The way of the innocent And when I say innocent I should say naive So lie to me But do it with sincerity Make me listen Just for a minut Make me think There's some truth in it Promises made for convenience Aren't necessarily What we need Truth is a word That's lost it's meaning The truth has become Merely half truth So lie to me Like they do it in the factory Make me think That at the end of the day Some great reward Will be coming my way PEOPLE ARE
PEOPLE ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
People are people So why should it be You and I should get along so awfully So we're different colours And we're different creeds And different people have different needs It's obvious you hate me Though I've done nothing wrong I've never even met you so what could I have done I can't understand What makes a man Hate another man Help me understand Help me understand Now you're punching And you're kicking And you're shouting at me I'm relying on your common decency So far it hasn't surfaced But I'm sure it exists It just takes a while to travel >From your head to your fists
IT DOESN'T MATTER ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
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 yo have for me I'm embarrassed Because I don't deserve any
STORIES OF OLD ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Take a look at unselected cases You'll find love has been wrecked By both sides compromising Amounting to a disastrous effect You hear stories of old Of princes bold With riches untold Happy souls Casting all aside To take some bride Tp have the girl of their dreams At their side But not me I couldn't do that Not me I'm not like that I couldn't sacrifice Anything at all To love I really like you I'm attracted to you The way you move The things you do I'll probably burn in hell For saying this But I'm really in heaven Whenever we kiss But Oh no! You won't change me You can try For an eternity I couldn't sacrifice Anything at all To love Now I've got things to do You have too And I've got to be me You've got to be you So take my hand And feel these lips And let's savour a kiss Like we'd savour a sip Of vintage wine One more time Let's surrender To this love divine But we won't sacrifice Anything at all To love
SOMEBODY ~~~~~~~~
I want somebody to share Share the rest of my life Share my innermost thoughts Know my intimate details Someone who'll stand by my side And give me support And in return She'll get my support She will listen to me When I want to speak About the world we live in And life in general Though my views may be wrong They may even be perverted She will hear me out And won't easily be converted To my way of thinking In fact she'll often disagree But at the end of it all She will understand me I want somebody who cares For me passionately With every thought and with every breath Someone who'll help me see things In a different light All the things I detest I will almost like I don't want to be tied To anyone's srings I'm carefully trying to steer clear Of those things But when I'm asleep I want somebody Who will put their arms around me And kiss me tenderly Though things like this Make me sick In a case like this I'll get away with it (And in a place like this I'll get away with it - from 101)
MASTER AND SERVANT ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
There's a new game We like to play you see A game with added reality You treat me like a dog Get me down on my knees We call it master and servant We call it master and servant It's a lot like life This play between the sheets With yo on top and me underneath Forget all about equality Let's play master and servant Let's play master and servant It's a lot like life And that's what's appealing If you despise that throwaway feeling >From disposable fun Then this is the one Domination's the name of the game In bed or in life They're both just the same Except in one you're fulfilled At the end of the day Let's play master and servant Let's play master and servant Let's play master and servant Come on master and servant
IF YOU WANT ~~~~~~~~~~~
Working week's come to it's end Party time is here again Everyone can come if they want to If you want to be with me If you want to be with me You can come with me if you want to Exercise your basic right We could build a building site >From the bricks of shame is built the hope If you want to be with me If you want to be with me Even though you may still not want to Let tomorrow and today Bring a life of ecstasy Wipe away your tears of confusion If you want to be with me If you want to be with me You can come with me if you want to Even though you may still not want to
BLASPHEMOUS RUMOURS ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
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 humour 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 sky Then came the rain And once again A tear fell >From her mother's eye

GET THE BALANCE RIGHT (From my own listening) ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
There's more besides Joy rides Little house In the countryside Understand Learn to demand Compromise And sometimes a lie Get the balance right Be responsible Respectable Stable But gullible Some to carry Help the helpless But always remain Ultimately selfish You've really got a (?) Hold on your life You haven't got a Hold at all When yo 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 Go first to the left And back to the right Twist and turn Till you've got it right

SHAKE THE DISEASE (From my own listening) ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
I'm not going down on my knees Begging you to adore me Can't you see it's misery And don't you fault 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 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 a hold of my tongue In situations like these Understand me Some people have to be Permanently together Lovers devoted To each other forever Now I've got Things to do An answer before that I know you have too When I'm not there In spirit I'll be there
FLEXIBLE (From my own listening) ~~~~~~~~
Fame can have a strange effect Money can have a strange effect I ask myself Is it a sin To be flexible When the boat comes in Open a window and Out go I to you Drink can alter you Girls can have a strange effect too We all know boats don't last (?) We all know 'cause of us (?)
IT'S CALLED A HEART (From my own listening) ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
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 I'll lend it to you Treat it tenderly There's something beating here Inside my body and it's called a heart There's a sun shining in the sky But that's not the reason why I'm really warm inside The altar isn't classified It's my heart >From the moment I started I tried to be devoted Yes I tried my best And more or less I spoke from my heart There's a lot to be learned And you learn when you're heart Gets burned 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 will speak from my heart Yes I will speak from my heart Speak from my heart

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 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 Black celebration I'll drink to that Black celebration Tonight
FLY ON THE WINDSCREEN (Final) ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Death is everywhere There are flies on the windscreen For a start Reminding us We could be torn apart Tonight Death is everywhere There are lambs for the slaughter Waiting to die And I can sense The hours slipping by Tonight Come here Kiss me Now Come here Kiss me Now Death is everywhere The more I look The more I see The more I feel A sense of urgency Tonight Come here Touch me Kiss me Touch me Now Touch me Touch me There are flies on the windscreen There are lambs for the slaughter There are flies on the windscreen
A QUESTION OF LUST ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Fragile Like a baby in your arms Be gentle with me I'd never willingly Do you harm Apologies Are all you seem to get from me But just like a child You make me smile When you care for me And you know... It's a question of lust It's a question of trust It's a question of not letting What we've built up Crumble to dust It is all of these things and more That keep up together Independence Is still important for us though (we realise) It's easy to make The stupid mistake Of letting go (do you know what I mean) My weaknesses You know each and every one (it frightens me) But I need to drink More than you seem to think Before I'm anyone's And you know... Kiss me goodbye When I'm on my own But you know that I'd Rather be home
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 embarassing 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 embarassing as me Sometimes IT
DOESN'T MATTER TWO ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
As I lay here with you The shame lies with us We talk of love and trust That doesn't matter Though we may be the last in the world We feel like pioneers Telling hopes and fears To one another And oh what a feeling Inside of me It might last for an hour Wounds aren't healing Inside of me Though it feels goos 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 A
QUESTION OF TIME ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
I've got to get to you first Before they do It's just a question of time Before they lay their hands on you And make you just like the rest I've got to get to you first It's just a question of time Well now you're only fifteen And you look good I'll take you under my wing Somebody should They've persuasive ways And you believe what they say It's just a question of time And it's running out for you It won't be long Until you do Exactly what they want you to I can see them now Hanging around To mess you up To strip you down And have their fun With my little one Sometimes I don't blame them For wanting you You look good And they need something to do Until I look at you And then I condemn them I know my kind What goes on in our minds It's just a question of time It should be better (with you)
STRIPPED ~~~~~~~~
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 hear you Make decisions Without your television Let me hear you speaking Just for me Let me hear you crying Just for me
HERE IS THE HOUSE ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Here is the house Where it all happens Those tender moments Under this roof Body and soul come together As we come closer together And as it happens It happens here In this house And I feel your warmth And it feels like home And there's someone Calling on the telephone Let's stay home It's cold outside And I have so much To confide to you With or without words I'll confide everything So we stay at home And I'm by your side And you know What's going on inside Inside my heart Inside this house And I just want to Let it out for you

DRESSED IN BLACK ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
She's dressed in black again And I'm falling down again Down to the floor again I'm begging for more again But oh what can you do When she's dressed in black My mind wanders endlessly On paths where she's leading me With games that she likes to play And words that she doesn't say Not when we're alone And she's dressed in black As a picture of herself She's a picture of the world A reflection of you A reflection of me And it's all there to see If you only give in To the fire within Dressed in black again Shadows fall onto me As she stands there over me And waits to encompass me I lay here helplessly But oh what can you do When she's dressed in black

BUT NOT TONIGHT ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
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 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 But 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 When my eyes have been so red I've been mistaken for dead

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 dare 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... 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 nothing can stop me Sweetest perfection An offer was made An assorted collection But I wouldn't trade The sweetest perfection...

HALO ~~~~
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.
WAITING FOR THE NIGHT ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
I'm waiting for the night to fall I know that it will save us all When everything's dark Keeps us from the stark reality I'm waiting for the night to fall When everything is bearable And there in the still All that you feel Is tranquility There is a star in the sky Guiding my way with it's light And in the glow of the moon Know my deliverance will come soon I'm waiting for the night... There is a sound in the calm Someone is coming to harm I press my hands to my ears It's easier here just to forget fear And when I squinted The world seemed rose tinted And angels appeared to descend To my surprise With half closed eyes Things looked even better Than when they were opened Been waiting for the night to fall I knew that it would save us all Now everything's dark Keeps us from the stark reality Been waiting for the night to fall Now everything is bearable And here in the still All that you feel Is tranquility
ENJOY THE SILENCE ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Words like violence Break the silence Come crashing in Into my little world Painful to me Pierce right through me Can't you understand Oh my little girl All I ever wanted All I ever needed Is here in my arms Words are very unnecessary They can only do harm Vows are spoken To be broken Feelings are intense Words are trivial Pleasures remain So does the pain Words are meaningless And forgettable All I ever wanted... Enjoy the silence.
THE POLICY OF TRUTH ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
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 civilised 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...
BLUE DRESS ~~~~~~~~~~
Put it on And don't say a word Put it on The one that I prefer Put it on And stand befor 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
CLEAN ~~~~~
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... 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 I what I like With my own eyes Sometimes Clean... Sometimes.

IN YOUR MEMORY ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Put up the barriers Shut down your senses Cover up with All of your pretenses See no evil Your eyes are blunted We are the hunters We are the hunted Ohhhhh... Place it in your memory Leave it in your past But don't forget Taking a tumble I'm taking a drop Sometimes I stumble When my mind's made up Reaction levels Seem strangely muted Ordinary acts of fun Have been diluted Place it in your memory.
SHOUT ~~~~~
She was silent Trying to be like the girl who acted on the TV Always knowing when to say Wishing for a moment only they could see Staring in the night The picture in my room And I think that she knew her lines chorus: Break away tonight I wanna hold your hand We gotta get it right We got to understand Can't (?) be watching waving As I stood around the backstreets and we start to play I was screaming louder As we in a twisted way Staring in the night The picture in my room And I think that she knew her lines chorus Facing all the questions In the minute of the game you want so long ago Dangerous and beautiful A radio transmission I had to know You could never run You could never stay And I think you belong to me chorus chorus
FOOLS ~~~~~
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 walk right through the door Don't tell me secrets anymore chorus: 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 so many tears to fall My thoughts are multiplying So I try to save them all chorus 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 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 Fools don't run away repeated to fade
(SET ME FREE) REMOTIVATE ME ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Set me free, set me free Set me free, set me free Remotivate me Set me burning At the years of My body is yearning For a new of life What a little spice Set me free, remotivate me Remotivate me Give me a reason To scream and shout Give me something To get excited about When everything is looking dull I'm sure it isn't impossible to Set me free, remotivate me Remotivate me Set me burning At the years of My body is yearning For a new of life And a little spice Set me free, remotivate me Remotivate me Set me free, set me free Remotivate me Set me free, set me free Don't get Because I'm willing to wait But something must happen Before it gets too late It could be my imagination What and the fall in this love sensation (?) Set me free, set me free Set me free, set me free Set me free Remotivate me Set me burning At the years of My body is yearning For a new of life What a little spice Set me free, set me free Remotivate me repeated to fade I think the missing words in Set Me Free are: Chorus: Set me free, remotivate me Remotivate me Set me burning After years in deep freeze My body is yearning For a new lease on life And a little spice (sometimes it's 'with a little spice') 2nd Verse starts: Don't get impatient Because I'm willing to wait But something must happen Before it gets too late...

SEA OF SIN The Tonal Mix (my own listening) ~~~~~~~~~~
Sea of sin I'm swimming in And I'm taking a dive My mind's in need On my body it 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 fighting the worst My mind's in need On my body it 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 ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ After purchasing Depeche Mode - Anthology, I've gotten the words for some of the trickier tunes: DREAMING OF ME -------------- All the night, fuse tomorrow ^^^^ So we left understanding ^^ Clean cut some were sounding fast ^^^ ^^^^ NEW LIFE -------- I stand still stepping on the shady streets ^^^^^^^ Transitions to another place ^^^^^^^^^^^ Features fuse and your shadows red ^^^^^^^^ ^^^^ Your face is hidden and we're out of sight ^^^^ ^^^^

I've seen through the Speak and Spell lyrics with my headphones on, and found quite a lot of errors. Below is my *new* version. I'm sure a few things can be discussed:
I JUST CAN'T GET ENOUGH: The first line, with the hair-stuff is obviously wrong. I'm quite sure that they don't say "I just can't seem to get enough fire", it sounds more like an "ah" to me. And the fire-word don't seem to fit in with the rest of the lyric.
DREAMING OF ME: The first line of the chorus sounds more like "Filming and screening" In the last line in the last verse, it is definitely not "Like association whore". It sounds more like "hard" or "hole"/"whole". OK, here is the whole bunch. Enjoy, Vidar
