from Martin L. Gore - Counterfeit [ep] (1998)
Charms in limited supply
And refusing to stretch That indefinable nothing Somehow keeps pushing you Finding the right words Can be a problem How many times must it be said There's no plan It had to happen Got to move on sometime And it's about time By putting one foot in front of another And repeating the process Cross over the street You're free to change your mind Strength through diversity Couldn't have put it more plainly Got to move on sometime Got to move on sometime Got to move on sometime Got to move on sometime Charms in limited supply Under threat of extinction That indefinable nothing Somehow motivates you Finding the right words Can be a problem How many times must it be said There's no plan It had to happen Got to move on sometime And it's about time By putting one foot in front of another And repeating the process Cross over the street You're free to change your mind Strength through diversity Couldn't have put it more plainly Got to move on sometime |

In a manner of speaking
I just want to say That I could never forget the way You told me everything By saying nothing In a manner of speaking I don't understand How love in silence becomes reprimand But the way I feel about you Is beyond words Oh give me the words Give me the words That tell me nothing Oh give me the words Give me the words That tell me everything In a manner of speaking Semantics won't do In this life that we live We only make do And the way that we feel Might have to be sacrificed So in a manner of speaking I just want to say That like you I should find a way To tell you everything By saying nothing Oh give me the words Give me the words That tell me nothing Oh give me the words Give me the words Give me the words Give me the words Give me the words |

You turned me away
Away from your actions Forced by the violence That always surrounds you I want your special smile A smile in this crowd I want your special smile A smile in this crowd You burnt yourself out In that silence I have to tell you I ache for you still The sound of my words Is always so shocking They get much louder Each time I speak I want your special smile A smile in this crowd I want your special smile A smile in this crowd Signals of progress We're growing much older I'm afraid that I'll leave And my ache never goes I want your special smile A smile in this crowd I want your special smile A smile in this crowd |

So tired so soon
What happened to you What happened to you You got lost Somewhere between There and here Somewhere between So far so near You got lost Somewhere between What happened to you Someone has been removed What happened to her What happened to her She got lost Somewhere between There and here Somewhere between So far so near She got lost Somewhere between What happened to her You used to be so young Used to be so young It was going to take so long It had almost gone What is his name What is his name What is his name |

When she's on her best behaviour
Don't be pretented by her favour Never turn your back on mother earth Towns are hurled from a to b By hands that looked so smooth to me Never turn your back on mother earth Grasp at straws that don't want grasping Gaze at clouds that come down crashing Never turn your back on mother earth Three days and two nights away from my friends Amen to anything that brings a quick return To my friends To my friends Never turn your back on mother earth I'll admit i was unfaithful But from now on i'll be more faithful Never turn your back on mother earth Never turn your back on mother earth Never turn your back on mother earth |

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 up, come one at a time, and see me See my painted-on grin as a stand up to sing In a stardust fling, hey rock'n'roll king is down But he's the leader of the band He is a lonely man Don't you wanna take his hand Yes you know you can, can, can Well he used to high fly but he crashed out the sky In a stardust fling, hey rock'n'roll king is down In a stardust fling, hey rock'n'roll king is down In a stardust fling, hey rock'n'roll king is down |

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 He lurks out in the darkness or in the neon's glow He follows me across the steps and up and down the halls And I cast a lonesome shadow on these lonely, lonely walls I sit and watch the candle and the flicker of the flame My writhing shadow twists and turns as though it is in pain I'm trying to escape the memory my heart recalls And I cast a lonesome shadow on these lonely, lonely walls The image of a love I lost and all the things I'd planned Are as empty as the bottle that I hold in my hand My soul is buried in the depths of love and life's pitfalls And I cast a lonesome shadow on these lonely, lonely walls I cast a lonesome shadow on these lonely, lonely walls |

In My Other World
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 hear you lie .. And I can't even see your face I've never heard your name My heart is still my thoughts are calm And light has filled this space In my other world My pain is bliss I own your soul I own your kiss In my other world .. |

By This River
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 And I reply With impressions chosen from another time, time, time, From another time |

from Martin L. Gore - Counterfeit² (2003)
Before Lord God made the sea and the land,
He held all the stars in the palm of his hand. And they ran through his fingers like grains of sand, And one little star fell alone. Then the Lord God hunted through the wide night air For the little dark star on the wind down there. And he stated and promised he'd take special care So it wouldn't get lost again. Now a man don't mind if the stars grow dim And the clouds blow over and darken him, So long as the Lord God's watching over them, Keeping track of how it all goes on. But I've been walking all the night and the day, Till my eyes get weary and my head turns gray. And sometimes it seems maybe God's gone away, Forgetting the promise that he made that day, And we're lost out here in the stars. Little stars, big stars, blowing through the night, And we're lost out here in the stars. Little stars, big stars, blowing through the night, And we're lost out here in the stars. |

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 clear in our world Oh my love for the first time in my life My mind is wide open Oh my lover for the first time in my life My mind can feel I feel the sorrow, oh I feel the dreams Everything is clear in my heart I feel life, oh I feel love Everything is clear in our world |

Tiny Girls
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 hope she'll sing So you turn around Toward the tiny girls Who have got no tricks Who have got no past Yea that's what you think And you hope she'll sing But she sings of greed Like a young banshee And she wants for this And she wants for that What did you think |
