DEPECHE MODE - VIOLATOR (1990)
1. WORLD IN MY EYES
Let
me take you on a trip
Around the world and back
And you won't
have to move
You just sit still
Now
let your mind do the walking
And let my body do the talking
Let
me show you the world in my eyes
I'll
take you to the highest mountain
To the depths of the deepest
sea
And we won't need a map
Believe me
Now
let my body do the moving
And let my hands do the soothing
Let
me show you the world in my eyes
That's
all there is
Nothing more than you can feel now
That's all
there is
Let
me put you on a ship
On a long, long trip
Your lips close to my
lips
All
the islands in the ocean
All the heaven's in motion
Let me show
you the world in my eyes
That's
all there is
Nothing more than you can touch now
That's all
there is
Let me show you the world in my eyes
2.
SWEETEST PERFECTION
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 care 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
Things
you'd expect to be
Having effect on me
Pass undetectedly
But
everyone knows what has got me
Takes me completely
Touches me
sweetly
Reaches so deeply
I know that nothing can stop me
Sweetest
perfection
An offer was made
An assorted collection
But I
wouldn't trade
Takes
me complelty
Touches so sweetly
Reaches so deeply
Nothing
can stop me
3.
PERSONAL JESUS
Reach out and touch faith
Your
own personal Jesus
Someone to hear your prayers
Someone who
cares
Your own personal Jesus
Someone to hear your
prayers
Someone who's there
Feeling
unknown
And you're all alone
Flesh and bone
By the
telephone
Lift up the receiver
I'll make you a believer
Take
second best
Put me to the test
Things on your chest
You need
to confess
I will deliver
You know I'm a forgiver
Reach
out and touch faith
Reach out and touch faith
Your
own personal Jesus
Someone to hear your prayers
Someone who
cares
Your own personal Jesus
Someone to hear your
prayers
Someone who's there
Feeling
unknown
And you're all alone
Flesh and bone
By the
telephone
Lift up the receiver
I'll make you a believer
I
will deliver
You know I'm a forgiver
Reach out and touch faith
Your own personal Jesus
Reach out and touch faith
4.
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
5.
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 its light
And in the
glow of the moon
Know my deliverance will come soon
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
Now everything is bearable
And
here in the still
All that you hear
Is tranquility
6.
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
All I ever needed
Is here in my arms
Words are
very unnecessary
They can only do harm
7.
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 is what you swore
The time before
Never again is what you
swore
The time before
8.
BLUE DRESS
Put
it on
And don't say a word
Put it on
The one that I
prefer
Put it on
And stand before 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
9.
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
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 what I like
With my own eyes
Sometimes
Sometimes
10.
DANGEROUS
Dangerous
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 one's that I would choose
I
wouldn't want it any other way
You wouldn't let me any way
Dangerous
The
way you leave me wanting more
Dangerous
That's what I want you
for
Dangerous
When I am in you arms
Dangerous
Know I
won't 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 alot to see me hurt
I
couldn't take it any other way
But there's a price I have to pay
Dangerous
The
way you leave me wanting more
Dangerous
That's what I want you
for
Dangerous
When I am in you arms
Dangerous
Know I
won't come to harm
Dangerous
The
way you leave me wanting more
Dangerous
That's what I want you
for
Dangerous
When I am in you arms
Dangerous
Know I
won't come to harm
Dangerous
The way you leave me wanting
more
Dangerous
That's what I want you for
Dangerous
When
I am in you arms
Dangerous
Know I won't come to harm

HAPPIEST GIRL
Happiest
girl I ever knew
Happiest girl I ever knew
Wanted
to feel the joy
Flow between our lips
Wanted to feel the
joy
Flow between our hips
Happiest
girl I ever knew
Why do you smile the smile you do?
Happiest
girl I ever knew
Happiest girl I ever knew
Wanted
to feel the joy
Pass between our eyes
Wanted to feel the
joy
Pass between our thighs
Happiest
girl I ever knew
Why do you smile the smile you do?
And
I would have to pinch her
Just to see that she was real
Just to
watch the smile fade away
See the pain she'd feel
Happiest
girl I ever knew
Happiest girl I ever knew
Wanted
to feel her joy
Feel it deep within
Wanted to feel her
joy
Penetrate my skin
Happiest
girl I ever knew
Why do you smile the smile you do?
Why do you
smile the smile you do?
Why
do you smile the smile you do?
Why do you smile the smile you
do?
Why do you smile the smile you do?
Why do you smile the smile you do...?

SEA OF SIN
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
