1.Bad Connection
Morning this morning the curtains are shut
I'll ring you in the morning but the phone's been cut
Can you hear me
I've been calling all day
Can you hear me
The radio reporter said the line's all dead
He told me that I oughta write a letter instead
Can you hear me
I've been calling all day
Can you hear me
Chorus
I'd wish they'd fix the wires cause my baby don't know
That I'm leaving in the morning and I'm ready to go
Can you hear me
Can you hear me at all
Gotta get the operator make a telephone call
And if I write a letter it won't get there on time
I'll only reach you baby on the telephone line
Can you hear me
I've been calling all day
Can you hear me
My car's all ready and my bags are all packed
I'm late already and I won't be back
Can you hear me
I've been calling you all day
Can you hear me
Repeat chorus
Ooo can you hear me
2.Bring Your Love Down (Didn't I)
You say it's time to leave now babe I can't believ
That you have the strenght to go now
I won't stand in your way I'd be standing there all day
Ain't that something we both know now
You play your games but the fact remains
I'm the only one that can hold your reins
Chorus
Didn't I bring your love down
Didn't I bring your love down all night
If you think you need a change well I'm sure we can arrange
For you to get on your own for a while
But I don't need to worry 'cause you'll get back in a hurry
I know that you like my style
You play your games but the fact remains
I'm the only one that can hold your reins
Chorus
3.Don't Go
作詞：Vince Clarke
Came in from the city walked into the door
I turned around when I heard the sound of footsteps on the floor
Love just like addiction now I'm hooked on you
I need some time to get it right your love gonna see me through
Can't stop now don't you know
I ain't never gonna let you go, don't go
Baby make your mind, up give me what you got
Fix me with your lovin', shut the door and turn the lock
Hey go get the doctor, doctor came to late
Another night, I feel alright my love for you can't wait
Can't stop now don't you know
I ain't never gonna let you go, don't go
Came in from the city walked into the door
I turned around when I heard the sound of footsteps on the floor
Said he was a killer, now I know it's true
I'm dead when you walk out the door, hey babe I'm hooked on you
Can't stop now don't you know
I ain't never gonna let you go, don't go
4.Goodbye Seventies
To your credit to the thirty faces you created
To your headache to the shape of the 1980's
I'm glad that we don't hear you any more
I'm tired of playing in your fashion war
To the lights to the trend setting in your head
Sunday night tears from youth cults already dead
I'm glad that we don't hear you any more
I'm tired of fighting in your fashion war
Chorus
Goodbye Seventies
To your credit to the thirty faces you created
To your subscription for the million copies of 1980
I'm glad that we don't hear you any more
I'm tired of losing in your fashion war
Repeat chorus
5.I Before E Except After C
(instrumental)
(Well, not really ＊instrumental＊, but it has no lyrics as such.)
6.In My Room
I stand alone and watch the clock
I only wait for it to stop
And in the room locked up inside me
The cutout magazines remind me
I sit and wait alone in my room
And in my room against the wall
There is a picture very small
A photograph I took some years ago
It shows a picture of the room I know
I sit and wait alone in my room
Chorus
The walls are white and in the night
The room is lit by electric light
I stand alone and watch the clock
I only wait for it to stop
The doors are shut and all the windows lock
The only sound is from the clock
I sit and wait alone in my room
Repeat chorus
7.Midnight
Midnight it's raining outside he must be soaking wet
Everyone is sleeping tight God knows I tried my best
Darling you know it looks bad
Just lost the best thing that I ever had
Still I don't know why I did him wrong
It's too late now he's gone to say
Chorus
Baby oh no, can't leave me now
Said think about it please
'Cos I love you and I need you
And I should have thought of that before I did you wrong
Heartache, heartache yeah
When I saw his face I could see how bad I'd let him down
Cheating when he was working hard, I just had to mess around
I knew from the start he ain't got much money
I should have stayed content with all that good sweet honey
He's a good strong man and I love him so
so how on earth can I let him go
Repeat chorus
And now it's midnight it's raining outside
And I'm soaking wet, still looking for that man of mine
And I ain't found him yet
Well all of this rain can wash away my tears
But nothing can replace all of those wasted years
In all of this I tell you I have learnt
Playing with fire gets you burnt
And I'm still burning
Repeat chorus
You say you'll lose your pride
Well don't you know dear, don't you know
I'll lose so much more if you go now
Oh no...
8.Only You
作詞：Vince Clarke
Looking from a window above
It's like a story of love, can you hear me？
Came back only yesterday
I'm moving farther away, want you near me
All I needed was the love you gave
All I needed for another day
And all I ever knew, only you
Sometimes when I think of her name
When it's only a game and I need you
Listen to the words that you say
It's getting harder to stay when I see you
All I needed was the love you gave
All I needed for another day
And all I ever knew, only you
All I needed was the love you gave
All I needed for another day
And all I ever knew, only you
This is going to take a long time
And I wonder what's mine, can't take no more
Wonder if you'll understand
It's just the touch of your hand behind a closed door
All I needed was the love you gave
All I needed for another day
And all I ever knew, only you
9.Situation
作詞：Vince Clarke, Alison Moyet
Blue eyed dressed for every situation
Moving through the doorway of a nation
Pick me up and shake the doubt
Baby, I can't do without
Move out, don't mess around
Move out, you bring me down
Move out, how you get about
Don't make a sound, just move out
I remember only for an hour
Move right through me, can you feel the power？
I don't know what's going on
It scares me but it won't be long
Move out, don't mess around
Move out, you bring me down
Move out, how you get about
Don't make a sound, just move out
Now he's in control, he is my lover
Nations stand against him, he's your brother
Been a long time, been a long time now
I'll get to you somehow
Move out, don't mess around
Move out, you bring me down
Move out, how you get about
Don't make a sound, just move out
10.The Other Side Of Love
I know a good dance when the mood is right
You can do it by day you can do it by night
It can be so fine and you'll agree
If you just to what comes naturally now
Chorus
Baby it's the other side of love
Baby it's the other side of love
Baby it's the other side of love
Baby, baby
There's plenty of ways we can do that thing
We can fool around till we get that swing
Come on do what you want honey we don't mind
If you just make sure that you stay in time now
Chorus
Know a good dance when the mood is right
You can take it slow 'cause we've got all night
It can be so fine and you'll agree
If you just to what comes naturally now
11.Too Pieces
Write me a letter a face in the hall
Hiding from someone afraid of the fall
And she's waiting for someone to take her back to where she came
from
And she'll wait alone for hours she won't mind because there's
someone
In the story she remembers she remembers in the letter
And the tears locked up inside her make her heart break open
wider
Shuts her eyes and takes the picture from the wall
12.Tuesday
Woman of thirty seeing the sun
Packed up her suitcase started to run
Looking for someone looking for none
Pack up and drive away
It was her birthday Tuesday morning
Realisation gradually dawning
A man in a grey suit whispered 'I'm calling'
Pack up and drive away
Woman of thirth, husband and kids
Chained like a dog she had to rid
No point in coping off came the lid
Pack up and drive away
Three thousand miles of honesty dreaming
Perfect imagery is a gleaming
No more shattered clouds were deeming
Pack up and drive away
In her heart it wasn't easy
Mumbled words and feeling dizzy
Reasons fight against excuses
Mothers have their ways and uses
Driving slower she was losing
Dream was stirring only dozing
Eyelids awaken to the daytime
Just an illusion broken sunshine
Woman of thirty there's no choice
I can't help your helpless voice
13.Winter Kills
Green in your love on bright days
You grew sunblind you thought me unkind
To remind you how winter kills
Lost in daydreams you drove too fast and got nowhere
You rode on half fare when you got too scared
How winter kills
Tear at me searching for weaker seams
Pain in your eyes makes me cruel
Makes me spiteful tears are delightful welcome your nightfall
How winter kills
