DEPECHE MODE - THE SINGLES 81>85 (1985)
GET THE BALANCE RIGHT
There's
more besides
Joyrides
The
little house in the countryside
Understand
Learn to
demand
Compromise
And sometimes lie
Get
the balance right
Get the balance right
Be
responsible
Respectable
Stable but gullible
Concerned and
caring
Help the helpless
But always remain
Ultimately
selfish
When
you think you've got a hold of it all
You haven't got a hold at
all
When you 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
First to the left
Then back to the
right
Twist and turn 'til you've got it right
IT'S CALLED A HEART
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
If 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
feeling warm inside
The answer isn't classified, it's my
heart
From the moment I started
I tried to be goodhearted
Yes
I tried my best
And more or less
I spoke from my heart
There's
a lot to be learnt
And you learn when you heart gets burnt
Hearts
could 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
SHAKE THE DISEASE
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
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
