DEPECHE MODE - SOUNDS OF THE UNIVERSE (2009)
1. IN CHAINS
The
way you move
Has got me yearning
The way you move
Has
left me burning
I know you know what you're doing to me
I know
my hands will never be free
I know what it's like to be
In
chains
The
way you move
Is meant to haunt me
The way you move
To tempt
and taunt me
I know you knew on the day you were born
I know
somehow I should have been warned
I know I walk every midnight
till dawn
In chains
You've
got me dying for you
It's you that I'm living through
You've
got me praying to you
Saying to you
Anything you want me
to
You've got me reaching for you
My soul's
beseeching me to
You've got me singing to you
Bringing to
you
Anything you ask me to
The
way you move
Is mesmerising
The way you move
Is
hypnotising
I know I crumble when you are around
Stutter,
mumble, a pitiful sound
Stagger, stumble, shackled and bound
In
chains
You've
got me dying for you
It's you that I'm living through
You've
got me praying to you
Saying to you
Anything you want me
to
You've got me reaching for you
My soul's beseeching me
too
You've got me singing to you
Bringing
to you
Anything you ask me to
I'm
in chains
In chains
2.
HOLE TO FEED
We
are here
We can love
We share something
I'm sure that you
mean the world to me
Your
name was the one
That was always chosen
Your words and
their kindness
Have set me free
Shame
has a hold
That's kept us frozen
You opened my eyes to a
world
That I could believe
Words
can leave you
Broken inside
You'll have to decide
I'm
hanging on to my pride
We
are here
We can love
We share something
I'm sure that you
mean the world to me
When you get what you need
There's
no way of knowing
What you'll have
Is another hole to
feed
The
games that were played
Have left us hoping
The gift that we
have - the life
That we breathe
This
world can leave you
Broken inside
With nowhere to hide
I'm
hanging on to my pride
We
are here
We've been chosenWe've been blessed
with a place
We need to find and then open
We
are here
We can love
We share something
I'm sure
that you mean the world to me
When you get what you need
There's
no way of knowing
What you'll have
Is another hole to
feed
3.
WRONG
I
was born with the wrong sign
In the wrong house
With the wrong
ascendancy
I took the wrong road
That led to
The wrong
tendencies
I was in the wrong place
At the wrong time
For
the wrong reason
And the wrong rhyme
On the wrong day
Of the
wrong week
Used the wrong method
With the wrong
technique
Wrong
Wrong
There's
something wrong with me chemically
Something wrong with me
inherently
The wrong mix
In the wrong genes
I reached the
wrong ends
By the wrong means
It was the wrong plan
In the
wrong hands
The wrong theory
For the wrong man
The
wrong eyes
On the wrong prize
The wrong questions
With the
wrong replies
Wrong
Wrong
I
was marching to the wrong drum
With the wrong scum
Pissing out
the wrong energy
Using all the wrong lines
And the wrong
signs
With the wrong intensity
I was on the wrong page
Of
the wrong book
With the wrong rendition
Of the wrong look
With
the wrong moon
Every wrong night
With the wrong tune
playing
Till it sounded right, yeah
Wrong
Wrong
Too long
4.
FRAGILE TENSION
There's
a fragile tension
That's keeping us going
It may not last
forever
But oh when it's flowing
There's
something magical in the air
Something so tragic we have to care
There's
a strange obsession
That's drawing us nearer
We don't
understand it
It never gets clearer
There's
something mystical in our genes
So simplistic it kicks and screams
Oh
when we're teetering
On the edge of collapse
Nothing can keep
us down
There's
a dizzying feeling
That's keeping us flying
Through glittering
galas
Without even trying
There's
something radical in our hands
Nothing logical to our plans
5.
LITTLE SOUL
My
little light
Is going to shine
Shine out so bright
And
illuminate your mind
My little soul will leave a footprint
This
little voice
Is going to sing
I have no choice
It will
infinitely ring
My little soul will leave a footprint
I'm
channelling the universe
That's focusing itself
Inside of me
A
singularity
My
little words
Are going to sting
Haven't you heard
The pain
and joy they bring
My little soul will leave a footprint
I'm
channelling the universe
That's focusing itself
Inside of me
A
singularity
Your
little eyes
They're going to see
I can't disguise
The beauty
inside me
My little soul will leave a footprint
6.
IN SYMPATHY
They're
almost falling over you
Why don't they call a truce
Whatever
they are trying to do
It's of little use
They're
drowning you in compliments
Trying to furnish proof
And though
they speak with eloquence
There is little truth
You're
bright, you're strong
You know your right from wrong
At least
to some degree
You're wise, you're tough
You've heard their
lies enough
You smile in sympathy
I'm
watching your serenity
The way your soul transcends
Their
tedious obscenities
Your patience never ends
And
as the night begins to fade
You're heading for the door
Followed
by a sad parade
You're on your own once more
You're
bright, you're strong
You know your right from wrong
At least
to some degree
You're wise, you're tough
You've heard their
lies enough
You smile in sympathy
7.
PEACE
Peace
will come to me
Peace will come to me
I'm
leaving bitterness
Behind this time
I'm cleaning out my
mind
There is no space
For the regrets
I will remember to
forget
Just
look at me
I am walking love incarnate
Look at the
frequencies
At which I vibrate
I'm going to light up the world
Peace
will come to me
Peace will come to me
I'm
leaving anger in the past
With all the shadows
That it
cast
There is a radar in my heart
I should have trusted
From
the start
Just
look at me
I'm a living act of holiness
Giving all the
positivity
That I possess
I'm going to light up the world
Peace
will come to me
Just wait and see
Peace will come to me
It's
meant to be
Peace will come to me
Just wait and see
Peace
will come to me
It's an inevitability
8.
COME BACK
Come
back, come back to me
I'll be waiting, patiently
Come back,
come back to me
I'll be waiting here patiently
Walking
a thin white line between love and hate
Wasting all of my time in
another world
In another place
I could use a little company
A
little kindness could go a long way
Weeks
turn into months
Months turn into years
Reaching the same
conclusions
Gathering up the fear
Come
back, come back to me
I'll be waiting, patiently
Come
back, come back to me
I'll be waiting here patiently
Light
will always shine in the heart of you
In truth and in reality
Only
blindness can hide it away
I could use a little restraint
A
little kindness can go a long way
Weeks
turn into months
Months turn into years
Reaching the same
conclusions
Gathering up the fear
Living the same
delusion
Gathering up the fear
Come back

SPACEWALKER - INSTRUMENTAL

PERFECT
On
another world by another star
At another place and time
In
another state of consciousness
In another state of mind
Everything
was almost perfect
Everything fell into place
The jury reached
a different verdict
Before the judge dismissed the case
In
a parallel universe
That's happening right now
Things between
us must be worse
But it's hard to see just how
And
everything could have been perfect
Everything in the right
place
Then I wouldn't have to play the suspect
Accused,
abandoned and disgraced
I
didn't shoot, I didn't pull the trigger
It wasn't me I'm just a
plain and simple singer
I heard the sound, I turned my head
around
To watch our love shot down
In
another lonely universe
We're laying side by side
And no
one's hurt and no one's cursed
And no one needs to hide
And
everything is almost perfect
Everything is almost right
There
are never any conflicts
There are never any fights
11.
MILES AWAY - THE TRUTH IS
It's
one of those conversations we've, we've had them before
The ones
that leave you empty and wanting for more
Your eyes they
tell me something that I understand
Your eyes they hold the truth
and the truth is
You're miles away
Excuse
me for my hesitation I've, I've met you before
Your face seems so
familiar and longing for more
Your eyes they tell me something
that I understand
Your eyes they hold the truth and the truth
is
You're miles away
With
all your superstitions and empty lines
I could be just like
you
Withdrawn but alive
Life
it has it's limitations we all have our needs
Love could be the
only answer it lies underneath
Your eyes they tell me something
that I understand
Your eyes they hold the truth and the truth
is
You're miles away
12.
JEZEBEL
They
call you Jezebel
Whenever we walk in
You're going straight to
hell
For wanton acts of sin
They say
And that I'll have to
pay
But I need you
Just this way
They
call you Jezebel
For what you like to wear
You're morally
unwell
They say you'll never care
For me
But what they
fail to see
Is that your games
Are the key
Open
their eyes to the beauty
Open their hearts to the fun
Open
their minds to the idea
That you don't own someone
They
call you Jezebel
Whenever men walk by
They say that they can
tell
The longing in your eyes
Is real
And how you really
feel
But they can't see
Your appeal
Jezebel!
13.
CORRUPT
I
could corrupt you
In a heartbeat
You think you're so
special
Think you're so sweet
What are you trying
Don't
even tempt me
Soon you'll be crying
And wishing you'd dreamt me
You'll
be calling out my name
When you need someone to blame
I
could corrupt you
It would be easy
Watching you suffer
Girl,
it would please me
But I wouldn't touch you
With my little
finger
I know it would crush you
My memory would linger
You'd
be crying out in pain
Begging me to play my games
I
could corrupt you
It would be ugly
They could sedate you
But
what good would drugs be
But I wouldn't touch you
Put my hands
on your hips
It would be too much to
Place my lips on your lips
You'd
be calling out my name
Begging me to play my games
14.
LIGHT
Take
my hand
And walk in the light
Understand, there's a
fire to ignite
You know we have a responsibility
It's
true we've been chosen
And now we have the possibility
Of
melting what's frozen
Walk
with me with the rapture inside
Can't you see it's not your
place to decide
You know we have to make a case
for
Love
It's more of a duty
It's clear we
have a mission from above
A mission of beauty
You
know I wouldn't lie to you
What would I achieve by
that
It's more than I would try to do
These are the
facts
Take
your place here
With love in your heart
Just
embrace what you've known from the
The start
We are
fulfilling our only destiny
The angels have spoken
And
all the gods in the universe agree
The spell can't be broken
15.
THE SUNAND THE MOON AND THE STARS
One
subtle look
God help me
Is all it took
To sell me
One
single word
Unspoken
Your name unheard
And I'm broken
The
sun and the moon
And the stars in the sky are laughing
They've
seen it all before
For the wind in the trees
And the waves on
the seas
It's the same thing
They can't take any more
One
gentle touch
And I'm helpless
It's all too much
For my
senses
One simple prayer
Denied me
When you're not
there
Beside me
The
sun and the moon
And the stars in the sky are
laughing
They've seen it all before
For the wind in the
trees
And the waves on the seas
It's the same
thing
They can't take any more
16.
GHOST
I'm
the ghost in your house
Calling your name
My memory
lingers
You'll never be the same
I'm the hole in your heart
I'm
the stain in your bed
The phantom in your fingers
The voices in
your head
One
touch is all it took
To draw you in
To leave you hooked
One
kiss, you paid the price
You had a taste
Of paradise
Now
you're running in circles
Chasing imaginary footsteps
Reaching
for shadows
In the bed where I once slept
I'm
the ghost in your house
Calling your name
My memory
lingers
You'll never be the same
I'm the hole in your heart
I'm
the stain in your bed
The phantom in your fingers
The voices in
your head
One
thought is all it takes
You lose control
You make mistakes
This
pain will never leave
Until I die
You'll always grieve
Now
you're falling to pieces
Seeing my face wherever you go
Talking
to strangers
From a place they'll never know
17.

OH WELL
Oh
you've got a way about you
Oh I know so much about you
Girl
Life
won't be the same without you
Life will surely be the one to tell
Listen
to what she's trying to tell you
She could be the one who's going
to save you
Oh

Nothing I can complain about
