Catching Up With Depeche Mode lyrics

Light switch, man switch
Film was broken only then
All the night, fused tomorrow
Dancing with a distant friend

Filming and dreaming, I picture the scene
Filming and dreaming, dreaming of me

So we left, understanding
Clean cut, so we're sounding fast
Talked of saddness, I talked of war
I laughed and climbed the rising calm

Filming and dreaming, I picture the scene

I stand still stepping on a shady street
And I watch that man to a stranger
You think you'll only know me
When you turn on the light
Now the room is lit red danger

Complicating, circulating
New life, new life
Operating, generating
New life, new life

Transition to another place
So that time will pass more slowly
Your features fuse
And your shadow's red
Like a film I've seen now show me

When I'm with you baby, I go out of my head
And I just can't get enough, I just can't get enough
All the things you do to me and everything you said
And I just can't get enough, I just can't get enough

We slip and slide as we fall in love
And I just can't seem to get enough

We walk together, we're walking down the street
And I just can't get enough, I just can't get enough

All I want to do is see you again
Is that too much to ask for?
I just want to see your sweet smile
Smiled the way it was before

Well I'll try not to hold you
And I'll try not to kiss you
And I won't even touch you

All I want to do is see you
Don't you know that it's true

I remember the days when we'd walk through the woods
And sit on a bench for a while

I´VE READ MORE THAN A HUNDRED BOOKS
SEEING LOVE MENTIONED MANY THOUSAND TIMES
BUT DESPITE ALL THE PLACES I´VE LOOKED
IT´S STILL NO CLEARER
IT´S JUST NOT ENOUGH
I´M STILL NO NEARER
THE MEANING OF LOVE
THE MEANING OF LOVE
THE MEANING OF LOVE

NOTED DOWN ALL MY OBSERVATIONS
SPENT AN EVENING WATCHING TELEVISION
STILL I COULDN´T SAY WITH PRECISION
KNOW IT´S A FEELING AND IT COMES FROM ABOVE

All of these insurmountable tasks
That lay before me
All of the firsts
And the definite lasts
That lay in store for me

There was a time
When all on my mind was love
Now I find
That most of the time
Love's not enough
In itself

Consequently
I've a tendency
To be unhappy, you see
The thoughts in my head
All the words that were said
All the blues and the reds
Get to me

There's a new game
We like to play you see
A game with added reality
You treat me like a dog
Get me down on my knees

We call it master and servant
We call it master and servant

It's a lot like life
This play between the sheets
With you on top and me underneath
Forget all about equality

Let's play master and servant
Let's play master and servant

It's a lot like life

Girl of 16
Whole life ahead of her
Slashed her wrists
Bored with life
Didn't succeed
Thank the lord
For small mercies

Fighting back the tears
Mother reads the note again
16 candles burn in her mind
She takes the blame
It's always the same
She goes down on her knees
And prays

I don't want to start
Any blasphemous rumours
But I think that God's
Got a sick sense of humour

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 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

Fame can have strange effects
Money can have strange effects

I ask myself, is it a sin
To be flexible when the boat comes in
Open the window and out go ideals

Drink can alter you
Girls can have strange effect too

I ask myself, is it a sin
To be flexible when the boat comes in
Open the window and out go ideals

We all know boats don't last
We all know cars are fast

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?
If I lend it to you, will 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:

Death is everywhere
There are flies on the windscreen
For a start
Reminding us
We could be torn apart
Tonight
Death is everywhere
There are lambs for the slaughter
Waiting to die
And I can sense
The hours slipping by
Tonight

Come here
Kiss me
Now
Come here
Kiss me
Now

Death is everywhere
The more I look
The more I see
The more I feel
A sense of urgency
Tonight
