Song Lyrics by Album
Welcome To My World
author: Martin Gore
Welcome to my world
Step right through the door
Leave your tranquilisers at home
You don't need them anymore
***
All the drama queens have gone
And the devil got dismayed
He packed up and fled this town
His master plan delayed
***
And if you stay a while
I'll penetrate your soul
I'll bleed into your dreams
You'll want to lose control
***
I'll weep into your eyes
I'll make your visions sing
I'll open endless skies
And ride your broken wings
***
Welcome to my world
Welcome to my world
Welcome to my world
***
We'll watch the sunrise set
And the moon begin to blush
Our naked innocence
Translucently too much
***
And I'll hold you in my arms
And keep you by my side
And we'll sleep the devil's sleep
Just to keep him satisfied
***
And if you stay a while
I'll penetrate your soul
I'll bleed into your dreams
You'll want to lose control
***
I'll weep into your eyes
I'll make your visions sing
I'll open endless skies
And ride your broken wings
***
Welcome to my world
Welcome to my world
Welcome to my world
Angel
author: Martin Gore
The angel of love was upon me
And Lord I felt so small
The legs beneath me weakened
And I began to crawl
Confused and contented
I slithered around
With feelings beyond me
I was lost, I was found
***
The angel of love was upon me
And Lord I felt so weak
I felt my tongue move in my mouth
And I began to speak
A strange kind of language
I don't understand
A babbling fountain
I couldn't have planned
***
Oh leave me here forevermore
I've found the peace I've been searching for
***
The angel of love was upon me
And Lord I felt so high
I swear I could have reached up
Placed my hands upon the sky
A radiant rainbow was following me around
With elevated senses I could see and taste sound
***
The angel of love was upon me
And Lord I felt so clean
Like a preacher on Sunday
My heart was serene
I waded into the water
I was bathed, I was drowned
Like all sinners before me
I knelt down on the ground
***
Oh leave me here forevermore
I've found the peace I've been searching for
Oh let me sleep forevermore
I've found the peace I've been searching for
Heaven
author: Martin Gore
Sometimes I slide away silently
I slowly lose myself over and over
Take comfort in my skin endlessly
Surrender to my will forever and ever
***
I dissolve in trust
I will sing with joy
I will end up dust
I'm in heaven
***
I stand in golden rays radiantly
I burn a fire of love over and over
Reflecting endless light relentlessly
I have embraced the flame forever and ever
***
I will scream the word
Jump into the void
I will guide the herd
Up to Heaven
Secret To The End
author: Dave Gahan, Kurt Uenala
Oh when I look at you
I'm probably the same way too
I got a feeling that it's coming soon
Could this be the end
***
When I look around this room
There must be something I can do
Can I convince you that it isn't true
We've come to the end
***
Oh did I disappoint you
I wanted to believe it's true
Oh the book of love was not enough
To see us through
The problem
Should have been you (Should have been you)
Should have been you (Could have been you)
Should have been you (Would have been you)
(Should have been you, Would have been you)
If it hadn't been me
(Would have been you, Could have been you)
Should have been you (Should have been you)
Should have been you (Would have been you)
(Should have been you)
If it hadn't been me
***
It seems so obvious to you
You're feeling what I am feeling too
The final chapter in the contract expires soon
We've come to the end
***
Thank God I'm not the same as you
You always know exactly what to do
It's who I am, is not for you
We've come to the end
***
Oh did I disappoint you
I wanted to believe it's true
Oh the book of love was not enough
To see us through
The problem
Should have been you (Should have been you)
Should have been you (Could have been you)
Should have been you (Would have been you)
(Should have been you, Could have been you)
If it hadn't been me
(Would have been you, Could have been you)
Should have been you (Should have been you)
Should have been you (Would have been you)
(Should have been you)
If it hadn't been me
***
(Could have been you, Should have been you, Could have been you)
Would have been you (Would have been you)
Should have been you (Could have been you, Should have been you, Could have been you)
If it hadn't been me (Would have been you, Could have been you, Would have been you)
If it hadn't been me (Would have been you, Would have been you, Should have been you)
If it hadn't been me (Should have been you, Could have been you, Should have been you)
If it hadn't been me (Could have been you, Could have been you, Could have been you)
If it hadn't been me
My Little Universe
author: Martin Gore
My Little Universe
Is expanding
Slowly
And those who know me
Say I'm growing every day
***
Beautiful emptiness
Surrounds me
I take small steps
I'm making progress
In a non-specific way
***
Here I am king
I decide everything
I let no-one in
No-one
No-one
No-one
***
Limited consciousness
Preserves me
It protects me
And just connects enough
To keep the wolves at bay
***
My Little Universe
Is expanding
Slowly
And those who know me
Say I'm growing every day
***
Here I am king
I decide everything
I let no-one in
No-one
No-one
No-one
Slow
author: Martin Gore
Slow, slow
As slow as you can go
So I can feel all I want to know
Slow, slow
I'll go with your flow
***
Let the world keep its carnival pace
I prefer to look into your beautiful face
What a waste
Let the stars continue to fly by
I don't have one desire to understand why
I don't try
***
Slow, slow
As slow as you can go
I want my senses to overflow
Slow, slow
And doesn't it show
***
I don't need a race in my bed
When speed's in my heart
And speed's in my head instead
It's tempting for fools to rush in
When something's so good
Why should we rush a thing
It's a sin
***
Slow, slow
As slow as you can go
That's how I like it
I like it
***
I don't need a race in my bed
When speed's in my heart
And speed's in my head instead
***
Slow, slow
As slow as you can go
That's how I like it
I like it
***
That's how I like it
That's how I like it
Broken
author: Dave Gahan, Kurt Uenala
If you want control
Without any pain
How long will you suffer
How long you reign
***
You see the friend that I knew
Cannot be found
Replaced by another
Wearing his crown
***
There's a place where I go
Without any sound
Only you can reach me
Only you're allowed
***
Then you're so far away
You're so far from here
Do you remember
A time without tears
***
When you're falling I will catch you
You don't have to fall that far
You can make it, I will be there
You were broken from the start
***
When you were a child
You'd dream all day long
You'd dream of the future
Get lost in your songs
***
Now that time is gone
It's lost for you now
Words long forgotten
Forgotten somehow
***
When you're falling I will catch you
You don't have to fall that far
You can make it, I will be there
You were broken from the start
***
When you're falling I will catch you
You don't have to fall that far
You can make it, I will be there
You were broken from the start
***
When you're falling I will catch you
You don't have to fall that far
You can make it, I will be there
You were broken from the start
The Child Inside
author: Martin Gore
There is darkness and death in your eyes
What have you got buried inside
The shallow grave in your soul
The ghosts there have taken control
You really should have dug a little deeper there
Body parts are starting to appear and scare
The child inside away
***
Each tear that flows down your face
Trickles then picks up the pace
And turns to a river inside
A river that will not subside
I can hear that dreadful overflowing sound
And watching from afar I see a child is drowned
The child inside your heart
***
I can see you drifting away
Heading for the light
I can see you drifting away
Every night
***
Why were you always inside
On days when the weather was fine
And while we were running around
You were nowhere to be found
You know you should have taken all your dolls to bed
But you were made to play games with your soul instead
The child inside you died
Soft Touch / Raw Nerve
author: Martin Gore
Have I got a soft touch
Have I got a soft touch
Is my radar that off
Is my radar that off
***
I'm thinking if you're sinking
Then I'll drown
I've got a confession
Your depression will take me down
***
Am I on the right track
Am I on the right track
Have I picked a bad time
Have I picked a bad time
***
It's seeming that you're dreaming through my eyes
Why protest when your success is my prize
***
Oh brother, give me a helping hand
Oh brother, tell me you understand
***
Have I hit a raw nerve
Have I hit a raw nerve
***
Have I got a soft touch
Have I got a soft touch
***
I'm thinking if you're sinking
Then I'll drown
I've got a suspicion that your position is unsound
***
Oh brother, give me a helping hand
Oh brother, tell me you understand
***
Have I hit a raw nerve
Have I hit a raw nerve
***
Have I got a soft touch
Have I got a soft touch
***
Have I hit a raw nerve
Have I hit a raw nerve
***
Have I got a soft touch
Have I got a soft touch
Should Be Higher
author: Dave Gahan, Kurt Uenala
I dream of a day when I dare to believe you're the answer
When the shame and the guilt are removed and the truth appears
Oh the touch of your hand, I lose who I am if I want to
I tried to resist but succumb to the bliss of your kiss
***
You should be higher
I'll take you higher
Don't be afraid
You'll just have to pray
***
Your lies are more attractive than the truth
Love is all I want
Your lies are written down there in your book
Love is all I want
***
Your arms are infected
They're holding the truth
Oh stop all your crying
This one you'll lose
***
You should be higher
I'll take you higher
Don't be afraid
You'll just have to pray
***
Your lies are more attractive than the truth
Love is all I want
Your lies are written down there in your book
Love is all I want
***
You should be higher
You should be higher
Alone
author: Martin Gore
I was there when you needed me most
I was there when you wanted me least
I was your father, your son and your Holy Ghost and priest
Through your failures and success
Through your losses and gains
I didn't see much happiness or pain
***
I couldn't save your soul
I couldn't even take you home
I couldn't fill that hole
Alone
***
I saw you at your best
I knew you at your worst
I couldn't tell if you were blessed or cursed
There's a thin grey line
Between the black and the white
It's evidently hard to find at night
***
I couldn't save your soul
I couldn't even take you home
I couldn't play that role
Alone
***
Now it's too
Too late for
Words that should have been said long ago
***
I was there when you needed me most
I was there when you wanted me least
I was your father, your son and your Holy Ghost and priest
***
I couldn't save your soul
I couldn't even take you home
I couldn't fill that hole
Alone
Soothe My Soul
author: Martin Gore
I'm coming for you
When the sun goes down
I'm coming for you
When there's no-one around
***
I'll come to your house
Break down the door
Girl I'm shaking
And I need more
***
There's only one way to soothe my soul
There's only one way to soothe my soul
There's only one way to soothe my soul
Only one way to soothe my soul
Only one way
Only one way
Only one way
Only one way
Only one way
Only one way
Only one way
Only one way
***
I'm coming for you
I need to feel your skin
I'm coming for you
To stop this crawling
***
I'm taking my place
By your side
And I'm not leaving
Until I'm satisfied
***
There's only one way to soothe my soul
There's only one way to soothe my soul
There's only one way to soothe my soul
There's only one way to soothe my soul
There's only one way
Only one way
Only one way
Only one way
Only one way
Only one way
Only one way
Only one way
***
I'm coming for you
My body's hungry
I'm coming for you
Like a junkie
***
I can't stop
Desire in me
I'm not waiting
Patiently
***
There's only one way to soothe my soul
Only one way to soothe my soul
There's only one way to soothe my soul
Only one way to soothe my soul
There's only one way to soothe my soul
There's only one way to soothe my soul
Only one way to soothe my soul
Only one way to soothe my soul
There's only one way
Only one way
There's only one way to soothe my soul
Only one way to soothe my soul
Only one way
Only one way
Only one way
Goodbye
author: Martin Gore
It was you that took my soul
And threw it in the fire
And tamed it in the rapture
And filled me with desire
Now I'm pure, now I'm clean
I feel cured and serene in you
***
There is no denying
How I have been changed
You won't hear me crying
Now misery is strange
I can dream, I can fly
Now it seems I get by with you
***
Goodbye pain
Goodbye again
***
I was always looking
Looking for someone
Someone to stick my hook in
Pull it out and run
Now I'm caught on your line
All my thoughts are entwined in you
***
Goodbye pain
Goodbye again
***
If you see me walking
To the Golden Gates
Turn around, start talking
Stop and hesitate
I'll be waiting up there
With my fate in the air for you
***
Good goodbye
Good goodbye
Good goodbye
Good goodbye
Good goodbye
Good goodbye
Good goodbye
Good goodbye
Good goodbye
Good goodbye
Good goodbye
Long Time Lie
author: Dave Gahan, Martin Gore
It's been a while since you did something
Not so long since you complained
You sit around here doing nothing
Every day
***
You're the coward who points the finger
I understand that I'm helping you
You have delusions in some spaced-out fantasy
That's what you do
***
He loves to wallow in the glory
Loves to cut you down to size
Try to make you believe in all of his lies
***
It's been a long long long long long long time
It's been a long long long long long long time
A long time lie
***
Don't you ever look in the mirror
Don't you know there's so much more
Locked up inside that box behind your door
***
All your twisted conversations
When you're sitting all alone
Just remember we know your secret
While you moan
***
He loves to wallow in the glory
Loves to cut you down to size
Try to make you believe in all of his lies
***
It's been a long long long long long long time
It's been a long long long long long long time
A long time lie
Happens All The Time
author: Dave Gahan, Kurt Uenala
No need to feel ashamed
There's nothing to be gained
When your dreams are in the past
***
Like stars, we crash and burn
Only to return
Life goes by so fast
***
So who is left to blame
Nothing's quite the same
We can't live in the past
***
I'm burning as hot as the sun
And I've only just begun
Love, it fades so fast
***
Sometimes I forget
All I will regret
When I leave this world behind
***
Sometimes I'm not sure
What I'm fighting for
It happens all the time
***
I know I've had enough
Maybe far too much
It's easy to be kind
***
When it's just me and you
I know what I have to do
I can leave this world behind
***
No need to feel ashamed
There's nothing to be gained
When your dreams are in the past
***
Like stars, we crash and burn
Only to return
Times they change so fast
***
Sometimes I forget
All I will regret
When I leave this world behind
***
Sometimes I'm not sure
What I'm fighting for
It happens all the time
It happens all the time
It happens all the time
Always
author: Martin Gore
The well is dry and the stream runs shallow
And the sun is high and the field lies fallow
My tongue is tied and my body aching
Now I'm open wide and afraid of breaking
***
The food is hot and the table's ready
But my stomach's knots make my hands unsteady
So I take to pacing up and down the room
While my heart keeps racing and my mind's consumed
***
I just want to be part of the light of the light of the light of the light of the light in your eyes
I just want to be part of the light of the light of the light of the light of the light in your eyes
***
The bed is made and the candles burning
All our games are played and the clock keeps turning
We're out of tricks with the silence cutting
And the daggers stick as the doors keep shutting
***
I just want to be part of the fight of the fight of the fight of the fight of the fight in your eyes
I just want to be part of the fight of the fight of the fight of the fight of the fight in your eyes
***
Always, always, always, always (forever)
Always (forever), always (forever), always (forever), always
All That's Mine
author: Dave Gahan, Kurt Uenala
I know it's hard to reach you
I know it's hard to breathe
I know it's hard to be you sometimes
I can't imagine what that means
***
This must be someone else's story
I can't follow what you've planned
How can this be about me
Am I supposed to understand
***
Like a ship on the ocean
Heading out to sea
You can hardly see it now
It's a lot like you
Lost like me
***
You're still looking for redemption
Still can't find a trace
If there is nothing after
There'll be no saving grace
***
I'm giving you control now
I need some kind of sign
Come take away this sorrow now
I gave you all that's mine
***
Like a ship on the ocean
Heading out to sea
You can hardly see it now
It's a lot like you
***
Like a ship on the ocean
Heading out to sea
You can hardly see it now
It's a lot like you
Lost like me
