a few of my favorites...

all lyrics by Martin L. Gore unless otherwise noted

Like a cat dragged in from the rain
Who goes straight back out to do it all over again
I'll be back for more
-from The Bottom Line

There's no time for hesitating
Pain is ready, pain is waiting
Primed to do it's educating
-from Dream On

I'm shying from the light, I've always loved the night
And now you offer me eternal darkness
-from One Caress

Sister of night, when the longing returns
Giving voice to the flame, that burns in desire's name
Breaking down your will, to move in for the kill
-from Sister Of Night

Shackled like an animal
Chained to my desires
Just another sacrifice
To love's eternal fight
Tame me with your tenderness
And break my brittle heart
Easily and elegantly
Tear my world apart
-from Surrender

Wanted to feel the joy
Pass between our eyes
Wanted to feel the joy
Pass between our thighs
-from Happiest Girl

Let me see you make decisions
Without your televisions
-from Stripped

There's a thousand reasons why I shouldn't spend my time with you
But for every reason not to be here I can think of two
To keep me hanging on, feeling nothing's wrong, inside your heaven
-from Only When I Lose Myself

I don't want to start any blasphemous rumours,
But I think that God's got a sick sense of humour,
And when I die I expect to find him laughing
-from Blasphemous Rumours

My joy, you move me
I'm not a mountain, no
You move me
-from My Joy

I'll have faith, or I'd prefer
To think that things couldn't turn out worse
-from And Then...

You've been hanging from a rope of mediocrity
Strung up by your insecurities
-from Shine

Everybody's looking for a reason to live
If you're looking for a reason, I've a reason to give
-from Pleasure, Little Treasure

Vows are spoken to be broken
Feelings are intense, words are trivial
Pleasures remain, so does the pain
Words are meaningless and forgettable
-from Enjoy the Silence

Is simplicity best
Or simply the easiest?
-from Judas

Don't just stand there and shout it
Do something about it
-from Judas

Everytime I think of you, I know we have to meet
And I just can't seem to get enough
-from Just Can't Get Enough by V. Clark

A vicious appetite visits me each night
Won't be satisfied, won't be denied
-from Barrel Of A Gun

Do you ever get that feeling
When the guilt begins to hurt
Seeing all the children, wallowing in dirt
Crying out with hunger, crying out in pain
At least the dirt will wash off
When it starts to rain
-from Shame

This will be the last time
I think I said that last time
-from Leave In Silence

Well I'm knocking on death's door
Will I take my rest among the blessed?
-from Death's Door

I want somebody who cares for me passionately
With every thought and with every breath
Someone who'll help me see things in a different light
All the things I detest I will almost like
I don't want to be tied to anyone's strings
I'm carefully trying to steer clear of those things
But when I'm asleep I want somebody
Who will put their arms around me and kiss me tenderly
-from Somebody

The stars in the sky, bring tears to my eyes
They're lighting my way tonight
And I haven't so alive in years
-from But Not Tonight

Never again is what you swore the time before
-from Policy Of Truth

So here is my confession, it's an obsession
I'm a firm believer, and a warm receiver
And I've made my decision, this is religion
There's no doubt, I'm one of the devout
-from Sacred

Here, somewhere in the heart of me
There is still a part of me that cares
And I'll, I'll still take the best you've got
Even thought I'm sure it's not the best for me
-from Goodnight Lovers

You wear guilt like shackles on your feet
Like a halo in reverse
-from Halo

Step out of your cage and onto the stage
It's time to start playing your part
Freedom awaits, open the gates
Open your mind, freedom's a state
-from Freestate

Give me a reason to scream and shout
Give me something to get excited about
-from (Set Me Free) Remotivate Me

The grabbing hands grab all they can
All for themselves - after all
It's a competitive world
Everything counts in large amounts
-from Everything Counts

All we're demanding you'll supply
All we're accused of we'll deny
-from The Dead Of Night

Did I need to sell my soul for pleasure like this?
Did I have to lose control to treasure your kiss
Did I need to place my heart in the palm of your hand
Before I could even start to understand
-from Only When I Lose Myself

I surrender all control
To the desire that consumes me whole
-from Higher Love

The means you use
Aren't meant to confuse
Although they do
They're the ones that I would choose
And I wouldn't want it any other way
You wouldn't let me anyway
-from Dangerous

Domination's the name of game,
In bed or in life
They're both just the same
Except in one you're fulfilled
At the end of the day
-from Master and Servant

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
-from Shake the Disease

What good is photograph of you?
Everytime I look at it, it makes me feel blue
-from A Photograph Of You

Now I'm not looking for absolution
Forgiveness for the things I do
But before you come to any conclusions
Try walking in my shoes
-from Walking In My Shoes

I heard a rumour, they travel far
You know what it's like, the way people are
They talk and they talk, though they don't understand
They'll whisper and whisper, and lie on demand
-from Breathe

Be responsible, respectable, stable but gullible,
Concerned and caring, help the helpless,
But always remain ultimately selfish
-from Get the Balance right

You're the I like best, you retain my interest
You're the only one. If it wasn't for you,
Don't know what I'd do.
-from The Sun & The Rainfall

Will you take the pain I will give to you
Again and again, and will you return it?
-from Strangelove

So lie to me, but do it with sincerity
Make me listen, just for a minute
Make me think there's some truth in it
-from Lie To Me

Clean, the cleanest I've been
An end to the tears and the in-between years
And 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
-from Clean
