A PAIN THAT I’M USED TO
(Martin L. Gore)

I’m not sure what I’m looking for anymore
I just know that I’m harder to console
I don’t see who I’m trying to be instead of me
But the key is a question of control

Can you say what you’re trying to play anyway
I just pay while you’re breaking all the rules
All the signs that I find have been underlined
Devils thrive on the drive that is fueled

All this running around, well it’s getting me down
Just give me a pain that I’m used to
I don’t need to believe all the dreams you conceive
You just need to achieve something that rings true

There’s a hole in your soul like an animal
With no conscience, repentance unknown
Close your eyes, pay the price for your paradise
Devils feed on the seeds that are sown

I can’t conceal what I feel, what I know is real
No mistaking the faking, I care
With a prayer in the air I will leave it there
On a note full of hope not despair

All this running around, well it’s getting me down
Just give me a pain that I’m used to
I don’t need to believe all the dreams you conceive
You just need to achieve something that rings true

(chorus repeats)

JOHN THE REVELATOR
(Martin L. Gore *)

John the Revelator
Put him in a elevator
Take him up to the highest high
Take him up to the top where the mountains stop
Let him tell his book of lies

John the Revelator
He’s a smooth operator
It’s time we cut him down to size
Take him by the hand
And put him on the stand
Let us hear his alibis

By claiming God as his holy right
He's stealing a God from the Israelites
Stealing a God from the Muslim, too
There is only one god through and through

Seven lies, multiplied by seven,
Multiplied by seven again
Seven angels with seven trumpets
Send them home on the morning train

Well who’s that shouting?
John the Revelator!
All he ever gives us is pain
Well who’s that shouting?
John the Revelator!
He should bow his head in shame

By and By
By and By
By and By
By and By

Seven lies, multiplied by seven,
Multiplied by seven again
Seven angels with seven trumpets
Send them home on the morning train

Well who’s that shouting?
John the Revelator!
All he ever gives us is pain
Well who’s that shouting?
John the Revelator!
He should bow his head in shame

By and By
John the Revelator!
By and By
John the Revelator!
By and By
John the Revelator!

SUFFER WELL
(Gahan/Eigner/Phillpott)

Where were you when I fell from grace?
A frozen heart, an empty space
Something’s changed, and it’s in your eyes
Please don’t speak, you’ll only lie

I found treasure not where I thought
Peace of mind can’t be bought
Still I believe

I just hang on
Suffer well
Sometimes it’s hard
It’s hard to tell

An angel led me when I was blind
I said take me back, I’ve changed my mind
Now I believe

From the blackest room, I was torn
You called my name, my love was born
So I believe

I just hang on
Suffer well
Sometimes it’s hard
It’s hard to tell

THE SINNER IN ME
(Martin L. Gore)

If I could just hide
The sinner inside
And keep him denied
How sweet life would be
If I could be free
From the sinner in me

I’ll never be a saint
It’s not a picture that your memory paints
Not renowned for my patience
I’m not renowned for my restraint

But you’re always around
You can always be found
To pick me up
When I’m on the ground

If I could just hide
The sinner inside
And keep him denied
How sweet life would be
If I could be free
From the sinner in me

I’m still recovering
Still getting over all the suffering
More known for my anger
Than for any other thing

But you’ve always tried
To be by my side
And catch my fall
When I start to slide

If I could just hide
The sinner inside
And keep him denied
How sweet life would be
If I could be free
From the sinner in me

PRECIOUS
(Martin L. Gore)

Precious and fragile things
Need special handling
My God what have we done to you?
We always tried to share
The tenderest of care
Now look what we have put you through

Things get damaged
Things get broken
I thought we’d manage
But words left unspoken
Left us so brittle
There was so little left to give

Angels with silver wings
Shouldn’t know suffering
I wish I could take the pain for you
If God has a master plan
That only He understands
I hope it’s your eyes He’s seeing through

Things get damaged
Things get broken
I thought we’d manage
But words left unspoken
Left us so brittle
There was so little left to give

I pray you learn to trust
Have faith in both of us
And keep room in your hearts for two

Things get damaged
Things get broken
I thought we’d manage
But words left unspoken
Left us so brittle
There was so little left to give

MACRO
(Martin L. Gore)

Overflowing senses
Heightened awareness
I hear my blood flow
I feel its caress
Whispering cosmos
Talking right to me
Unlimited, endless
God breathing through me

See the microcosm
In macro vision
Our bodies moving
With pure precision
One universal
Celebration
One evolution
One creation

Thundering river
Pounding within me
Driving me onwards
Forcing me to see
Clear and enlightening
Right there before me
Brilliantly shining
Intricate beauty

See the microcosm
In macro vision
Our bodies moving
With pure precision
One universal
Celebration
One evolution
One creation

I WANT IT ALL
(Gahan/Eigner/Phillpott)

I see a river
It’s oceans that I want
You have to give me everything
But everything’s not enough

It’s my desire
To give myself to you
Sometimes

Sometimes I try
Sometimes I lie, with you
Sometimes I cry
Sometimes I die, it’s true
Somewhere I find
Something that’s kind in you

And I’ve crossed the line again
A line I drew in sand
And still you give me everything
But everything’s not enough

I’m ready but not willing
To give myself to you
Sometimes

Sometimes I try
Sometimes I lie, with you
Sometimes I cry
Sometimes I die, it’s true
Somewhere I find
Something that’s kind in you

Come on over, lay down beside me
And I’ll try
Come on over, lay down beside me
And I’ll try
And I’ll try

I want it all

NOTHING’S IMPOSSIBLE
(Gahan/Eigner/Phillpott)

Just give me a reason, some kind of sign
I’ll need a miracle to help me this time
I heard what you said, and I feel the same
I know in my heart that I’ll have to change

Even the stars look brighter tonight
Nothing’s impossible
I still believe in love at first sight
Nothing’s impossible

How did we get to be this far apart?
How did we get to be this far apart?
I want to be with you, something to share
I want to be here, I'm not there

Even the stars look brighter tonight
Nothing’s impossible
I still believe in love at first sight
Nothing’s impossible
Even the stars look brighter tonight
Nothing’s impossible
If you believe in love at first sight
Nothing’s impossible

I still believe in love at first sight
Nothing’s impossible

DAMAGED PEOPLE
(Martin L. Gore)

We’re damaged people
Drawn together
By subtleties that we are not aware of
Disturbed souls
Playing out forever
These games that we once thought we would be scared of

When you’re in my arms
The world makes sense
There is no pretense
And you’re crying
When you’re by my side
There is no defense
I forget to sense I’m dying

We’re damaged people
Praying for something
That doesn’t come from somewhere deep inside us
Depraved souls
Trusting in the one thing
The one thing that this life has not denied us

When I feel the warmth
Of your very soul
I forget I’m cold
And crying
When your lips touch mine
And I lose control
I forget I’m old
And dying

LILIAN
(Martin L. Gore)

Oh, Lilian
Look what you’ve done
You’ve stripped my heart
Ripped it apart
In the name of fun

Oh, Lilian
I’m a poor man’s son
And precious jewels
Weren’t found in schools
Where I came from

Pain and misery
Always hit the spot
Knowing you can’t lose
What you haven’t got

Oh, Lilian
I should have run
I should have known
Each dress you own
Is a loaded gun

Oh, Lilian

Oh, Lilian
I need protection
I hear your voice
And any choice
I had is gone

Oh, Lilian
Once I begun
I couldn’t stop
Till every drop
Of blood was sunk

Pain and misery
Always hit the spot
Knowing you can’t lose
what you haven’t got

Oh, Lilian
Look what you’ve done
You stripped my heart
Ripped it apart
In the name of fun

Oh, Lilian........

THE DARKEST STAR
(Martin L. Gore)

Oh you sad one
Playing the angel
Isn’t so easy where you’re from

Oh you wild one
Devil’s companion
You won’t stay satisfied for long

I don’t want you to change anything you do
I don’t want you to be something else for me

Oh you dark one
Eternal outsider
Caught in the spider’s web you’ve spun

Oh you blind one
Gentle and kind one
Seeing the world as a loaded gun

I don’t want you to change anything you do
I don’t want you to be someone else for me

Stay as you are, the darkest star
Shining for me
Majestically

*"John The Revelator" inspired by the traditional song of the same name
