Depeche Mode Tribute EP

 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
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
It's a competitive world everything counts in large amounts

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

Master And Servant

There's a new game we like to play you see a game with added reality
You treat me like a dog get me down on my knees
We call it master and servant
We call it master and servant

It's a lot like life this play between the sheets
With you on top and me underneath forget all about equality
Let's play master and servant
Let's play master and servant

It's a lot like life and that's what's appealing
If you despise that throwaway feeling
From disposable fun then this is the one
Domination's the name of the game in bed or in life they're both just the same
Except in one you're fulfilled at the end of the day
Let's play master and servant
Let's play master and servant
Let's play master and servant
Come on master and servant

Stripped

Come with me into the trees we'll lay on the grass and let the hours pass
Take my hand come back to the land let's get away just for one day
Let me see you stripped down to the bone
Let me see you stripped down to the bone

Metropolis has nothing on this you're breathing in fumes I taste when we kiss
Take my hand come back to the land where everything's ours for a few hours
Let me see you stripped down to the bone
Let me see you stripped down to the bone

Let me hear you make decisions without your television
Let me hear you speaking just for me
Let me see you stripped down to the bone
Let me hear you speaking just for me
Let me see you stripped down to the bone
Let me hear you crying just for me

I Want You Now

I want you now tomorrow won't do
There's a yearning inside and it's showing through
Reach out your hands and accept my love
We've waited for too long enough is enough
I want you now

My heart is aching my body is burning
My hands are shaking my head is turning
You understand it's so easy to choose
We've got time to kill we've got nothing to lose 
I want you now

And I don't mean to sound like one of the boys
That's not what I'm trying to do I don't want to be like one of the boys I just want you now
Because I've got a love a love that won't wait
A love that is growing and it's getting late
Do you know what it means to be left this way
When everyone's gone and the feelings they stay I want you now

People Are People

People are people so why should it be
You and I should get along so awfully

So we're different colours and we're different creeds
And different people have different needs
It's obvious you hate me though I've done nothing wrong
I've never even met you so what could I have done

I can't understand what makes a man
Hate another man help me understand

Now you're punching and you're kicking
And you're shouting at me I'm relying on your common decency
So far it hasn't surfaced but I'm sure it exists
It just takes a while to travel from your head to your fists

Blasphemous Rumours

Girl of 16 whole life ahead of her slashed her wrists
Bored with life didn't succeed thank the Lord for small mercies
Fighting back the tears Mother reads the note again
16 candles burn in her mind she takes the blame
It's always the same she goes down on her knees and prays
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

Girl of 18 fell in love with everything
Found new life in Jesus Christ hit by a car ended up on a life support machine
Summer's day as she passed away birds were singing in the summer sky
Then came the rain and once again a tear fell from her mother's eye
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
