Candy Says - Martin L. Gore

Candy says, I’ve come to hate my body And all that it requires in this world Candy says, I’d like to know completely What all they so discretely talk about I’m gonna watch the blue birds fly Over my shoulder I’m gonna watch them pass me by Maybe when I’m older What do you think […]

Tiny Girls - Martin L. Gore

Well the day begins You don’t want to live ‘Cause you can’t believe In the one you’re with ‘Cause you know her tricks And you know her past When she makes a face You just have to laugh And you feel like such a know-it-all When you only want just a tiny girl And you […]

Das Lied Vom Einsamen Mädchen - Martin L. Gore

Sie herzte sanft ihr Spielzeug Bevor sie es zerbrach Und hatte eine Sehnsucht Und wußte nicht wonach Weil sie einsam war Und so blond ihr Haar Und ihr Mund so rot wie Wein Und wer von diesem Wein trank Konnt’ nie mehr glücklich sein Doch einer sprach im Frühling: “Auch Du fühlst Lust und Schmerz” […]

Oh My Love - Martin L. Gore

Oh my love for the first time in my life My eyes are wide open Oh my lover for the first time in my life My eyes can see I see the wind, oh I see the trees Everything is clear in my heart I see the clouds, oh I see the sky Everything is […]

Lost In The Stars - Martin L. Gore

By This River - Martin L. Gore

Here we are Stuck by this river, You and I Underneath a sky that’s ever falling down, down, down Ever falling down Through the day As if on an ocean Waiting here, Always failing to remember why we came, came, came: I wonder why we came You talk to me As if from a distance […]

Loverman - Martin L. Gore

There’s a devil waiting outside your door (How much longer) There’s a devil waiting outside your door (How much longer) It is bucking and braying and pawing at the floor (How much longer) And he’s howling with pain and crawling up the walls (How much longer) There’s a devil waiting outside your door (How much […]

In My Other World - Martin L. Gore

In my other world There is no pain And all my thoughts Are clouds of happiness In my other world My heart beats red There is no gun Pointed at my head And I don’t really want your kiss My thoughts don’t make me cry My heart’s not filled with grey sadness My ears can’t […]

I Cast A Lonesome Shadow - Martin L. Gore

Every evening when the sun goes down I sit here in my room And the lamplight shining on me projects my lonely gloom My counterpart in agony mocks each tear that falls And I cast a lonesome shadow on these lonely, lonely walls He’s always by my side at night no matter where I go […]

Stardust - Martin L. Gore

Ah look what they’ve done to the rock’n’roll clown Ah rock’n’roll clown, look he’s down on the ground Well he used to high fly but he crashed out the sky In a stardust fling, hey rock ‘n roll king is down Roll on up, won’t you come and take a look at me Roll on […]
