Depeche Mode - Everything Counts

The handshake seals the contract
From the contract there’s no turning back
The turning point of a career
In Korea being insincere
The holiday was fun-packed
The contract, still intact

The grabbing hands grab all they can
All for themselves - after all
The grabbing hands grab all they can
All for themselves - after all
It’s a competitive world

Everything counts in large amounts

The graph on the wall
Tells the story of it all
Picture it now see just how
The lies and deceit gained a little more power
Confidence - taken in
By a suntan and a grin

The grabbing hands grab all they can
All for themselves - after all
The grabbing hands grab all they can
All for themselves - after all
It’s a competitive world

Everything counts in large amounts

The grabbing hands grab all they can
Everything counts in large amounts

The The - Kingdom of Rain

Tell me what you’re thinking baby
Your heart’s beating faster than mine
And I know something’s going on in your life
Your life (your life)

You were the girl I wanted to cry with
You were the girl I wanted to die with

And you were the boy who turned into the man
Broke my heart and let go of my hand

Our bed is empty
The fire is out
And all the love we’ve got to give
Has all spurted out
There’s no more blood
And no more pain
In our kingdom of rain

You think you know about life
You think you know about love
But when you put your hands inside me
It doesn’t even feel like I’m being touched
And you were the boy I wanted to cry with
You were the boy I wanted to die with
You move further from my side, year by year
While still making love, dutifully sincere

But as silent as the car lights
That move across this room
As cold as our bodies
Silhouetted by the moon
And I would lie awake and wonder
“Is it just me? Or is this the way that love is supposed to be?”

Tell me what you told him baby
My heart’s beating out of time with my mind
And I know something’s going wrong in our lives

I just wanted somebody to caress
This damsel in distress
I just wanted somebody to undress
This damsel in distress
I just wanted somebody to bless
This damsel in distress
I just wanted somebody to possess
This young girl

Our bed is empty
The fire is out
And all the love we’ve got to give
Has all spurted out
There’s no more blood
And no more pain
In our kingdom of rain

The Smiths - Heaven Knows I’m Miserable Now

I was happy in the haze of a drunken hour
But heaven knows I’m miserable now

I was looking for a job, and then I found a job
And heaven knows I’m miserable now

In my life
Why do I give valuable time
To people who don’t care if I live or die ?

Two lovers entwined pass me by
And heaven knows I’m miserable now

I was looking for a job, and then I found a job
And heaven knows I’m miserable now

In my life
Oh, why do I give valuable time
To people who don’t care if I live or die ?

What she asked of me at the end of the day
Caligula would have blushed

“You’ve been in the house too long” she said
And I (naturally) fled

In my life
Why do I smile
At people who I’d much rather kick in the eye ?

I was happy in the haze of a drunken hour
But heaven knows I’m miserable now

“You’ve been in the house too long” she said
And I (naturally) fled

In my life
Why do I give valuable time
To people who don’t care if I live or die ?

General Public - Come Again

There’s been so much eye for an eye
Now I can’t tell which cheek to turn
Look how we double deal
Just to keep the pack at bay
Ah now I’m asking the whys & whens
He’s coming back for a second term
And I’m all fingers and thumbs
Through trying to have my say
What d’you say?

Come again, come again
Oh help me through the night
Come again, oh jesus christ

I found a book in a hotel
Just as I had nothing left to read
And nowhere left to turn
Felt like I had been drawn
How the wind rocked the trees
Waves were picking up across the bay
And yes the earth moved for me
In a different kind of way
What d’you say?

Come again, come again
Oh help me through the night
Come again, come again
Second time will be twice as nice
Come again

A white light at the end of the tunnel
(boop-boop)
Come again, come again
Oh jesus christ

Come again, come again
Oh help me through the night
Come again
Oh jesus christ

Look there’s been so much eye for an eye
I don’t know which way to turn
Look how we double deal
Just to keep the pack at bay
Ah now I’m asking the whys & whens
I don’t know which way to turn
Could end up talking in tongues
Through always trying to have your say

Come again come again come again
Oh help me, oh help me
Come again come again
Second time will be twice as nice
Come again
A white light at the end of the tunnel
Boop-boop
Come again come again
Oh jesus christ

Come again come again come again
Come again come again come again
Come again come again

Echo and The Bunnymen - Seven Seas

Stab a sorry heart
With your favourite finger
Paint the whole world blue
And stop your tears from stinging
Hear the cavemen singing
Good news they?re bringing

Seven seas
Swimming them so well
Glad to see
My face among them
Kissing the tortoise shell

A longing for
Some fresher feeling
Belonging
Or just forever kneeling
Where is the sense in stealing
Without the grace to be it

Seven seas
Swimming them so well
Glad to see
My face among them
Kissing the tortoise shell

Burning my bridges
And smashing my mirrors
Turning to see if you?re cowardly
Burning the witches with mother religious
You?ll strike the matches and shower me

In water games
Washing the rocks below
Taught and tamed
In time with tear flow

Seven seas
Swimming them so well
Glad to see
My face among them
Kissing the tortoise shell

Seven seas
Swimming them so well
Glad to see
My face among them
Kissing the tortoise

Seven seas
Swimming them so well
Glad to see
My face among them
Kissing the tortoise shell
