"Exciter", Depeche Mode ----------------------------------------- DREAM ON ----------------------------------------- As your bony fingers close around me Long and spindly Death becomes me Heaven can you see what I see Hey you pale and sickly child You're death and living reconciled Been walking home a crooked mile Paying debt to karma You party for a living What you take won't kill you But careful what you're giving There's no time for hesitating Pain is ready, pain is waiting Primed to do it's educating Unwanted, uninvited kin It creeps beneath your crawling skin It lives without it lives within you Feel the fever coming You're shaking and twitching You can scratch all over But that won't stop you itching Can you feel a little love Can you feel a little love Dream on dream on Blame it on your karmic curse Oh shame upon the universe It knows its lines It's well rehearsed It sucked you in, it dragged you down To where there is no hallowed ground Where holiness is never found Paying debt to karma You party for a living What you take won't kill you But careful what you're giving Can you feel a little love Can you feel a little love Dream on dream on ----------------------------------------- SHINE ----------------------------------------- Put on your blindfold And a dress that's tight And come with me On a mystery night Open your eyes Follow our stars under a painted sky We'll leave the world behind We're learning to fly We used to get by Forget the pictures on your TV screen We'll steal the visions That you keep for your dreams You can turn me on I was blind and I saw the light My angel coming In a brilliant white Shine for me You've been hanging from a rope of mediocrity Strung up by your insecurities You can shine for me Somebody has to Shine for me It's difficult not to Shine for me Follow our stars under a painted sky We'll leave the world behind We're learning to fly We used to get by Forget the pictures on your TV screen We'll steal the visions That you keep for your dreams You can turn me on You've been hanging from a rope of mediocrity Strung up by your insecurities You can shine for me Somebody has to Shine for me It's difficult not to Shine for me Somebody has to Shine for me It's difficult not to Shine for me ----------------------------------------- THE SWEETEST CONDITION ----------------------------------------- Taken in by the delicate noise Knocked to the ground by the subtle thunder Shackled and bound by the sound of your voice Wandering around in silent wonder What chance did I have With the silver moon Hanging in the sky Opening old wounds Taking hold of the hem of your dress Cleanliness only comes in small doses Bodily whole but my head's in a mess Fuelling obsession that borders psychosis It's a sad disease Creeping through my mind Causing disabilities Of the strangest kind Getting lost in the folds of your skirt There's a price that I pay for my mission A body in heaven and a mind full of dirt How I suffer the sweetest condition Taken in by the delicate noise Knocked to the ground by the subtle thunder Shackled and bound by the sound of your voice Wandering around in silent wonder ----------------------------------------- WHEN THE BODY SPEAKS ----------------------------------------- To the soul's desires The body listens What the flesh requires Keeps the heart imprisoned What the spirit seeks The mind will follow When the body speaks All else is hollow I'm just an angel Driving blindly Through this world I'm just a slave here At the mercy Of a girl Oh I need your tenderness Oh I need your touch Oh I dream of one caress Oh I pray too much To the soul's desires The body listens What the flesh requires Keeps the heart imprisoned What the spirit seeks The mind will follow When the body speaks All else is hollow You keep me waiting For the promise That is mine Please stop debating Please stop wasting Your time Oh I need your tenderness Oh I need your touch Oh I dream of one caress Oh I pray too much ----------------------------------------- THE DEAD OF NIGHT ----------------------------------------- We're the horniest boys With the corniest ploys Who take the easiest girls To our sleaziest worlds With our lecherous plans In our treacherous hands You'd be wasting your time Saying no, it's a crime All that we live for you'll regret All you remember we'll forget We are the dead of night We're in the zombie room We're twilight's parasites With self-inflicted wounds We are the dead of night We're in the zombie room Heavenly oversights Eating from silver spoons With our decadent minds And our innocent lines You'll be playing our games With your bodies in flames When delirious fun Has seriously begun You'll be down on your knees You'll be begging us please All we're demanding you'll supply All we're accused of we'll deny We are the dead of night We're in the zombie room We're twilight's parasites With self-inflicted wounds We are the dead of night We're in the zombie room Heavenly oversights Eating from silver spoons ----------------------------------------- FREELOVE ----------------------------------------- If you've been hiding

----------------------------------------- Comatose, almost You've got me dreaming Slipping in And Sliding out Of conscious feeling Take a light Start the flame Play the game I am lost In your eyes Hypnotised Here I believe Dreams never deceive Comatose, almost You've got me dreaming Slipping in And sliding out Life has no meaning Bodies move Colours change Girl you're strange Here inside I'm at home I'm alive Don't be afraid I'm floating away Comatose, almost You've got me dreaming Slipping in And sliding out Of conscious feeling Comatose, almost Comatose, almost Comatose. ----------------------------------------- I FEEL LOVED ----------------------------------------- It's the dark night of my soul And temptation's taking hold But through the pain and the suffering Through the heartache and trembling I feel loved I feel loved As the darkness closes in In my head I hear whispering Questioning and beckoning But I'm not taken in I feel loved I feel loved From the depths of my emptiness Comes a feeling of inner bliss I feel wanted, I feel desired I can feel my soul on fire I feel loved I feel loved ----------------------------------------- BREATHE ----------------------------------------- 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 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 Before you say goodbye Before you say goodbye Before you say goodbye ----------------------------------------- I AM YOU ----------------------------------------- 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 I am you and you are me I am you and you are me 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 ----------------------------------------- GOODNIGHT LOVERS ----------------------------------------- Here, somewhere in the heart of me There is still a part of me That cares And I'll, I'll still take the best you've got Even though I'm sure it's not The best for me When you're born a lover You're born to suffer Like all soul sisters And soul brothers I, I can see the danger signs They only help to underline Your beauty I'm not looking for an easy ride True happiness cannot be tried So easily When you're born a lover You're born to suffer Like all soul sisters And
