| Depeche Mode – And Then... Lyrics | 18 years ago |
|
"Took a plane across the world Got in a car When I had reached my destination I hadn't gone far" Environmental issues here, perchance? |

| Depeche Mode – Shout Lyrics | 18 years ago |

I think it might be about sex. "Carefully watching waiting as I Stood upon the back streets and we start to play I was screaming louder as the Curtains fall between us in a twisted way" -Obviously reflecting on a past experience with his girl "Staring in the night A picture in my room And I think that she knew her lines" -Looking at a picture of her, under the impression that she knew what to do and what to say when they were going to do it "You could never run You could never stay And I think you belong to me" -They must be together then in a relationship of some sort. "Placing all the questions in the Minutes of a game we won so long ago" -Marraige? "Break away tonight I wanna hold your hand We've got to get it right We've got to understand" -He must want to have sex with her badly, and "understand" what its like to do it right. |

| Depeche Mode – Work Hard Lyrics | 18 years ago |
| And reading the line "But a broken will" further confirms my suspicions. This means the man's view on life is not a pleasant one - one of injustice and how he will never get anywhere. | |
| Depeche Mode – Work Hard Lyrics | 18 years ago |
| This song might be a bit tongue-in-cheek. It says "you've got to work hard if you want anything at all" but I think there's a hint of sarcasm in there - indicating that he's not at all convinced that working hard all his life will get him anywhere because "NOTHING comes easy, but a broken back". | |
| Depeche Mode – Nodisco Lyrics | 18 years ago |
|
Even though Vince Clarke openly admitted that the majority of his songs are just "pretentious lyrics he flings together in order to make the songs "sound better" even if they don't make particular sense", I'm still going to try and decipher something out of this gibberish... I think it's about a guy who's having an amazing time at a disco (the opposite of a 'nodisco' - a disco that just sucks). And he sees a girl dancing who he thinks is very attractive and is a great dancer. And he's obviously glad that she's making an effort to look good on the dancefloor. |

| Depeche Mode – In Your Memory Lyrics | 18 years ago |
| "Leave it in your past" I think it might mean a bad memory or something. Something absolutely terrible has happened in the past and he/she wants to ignore it (but not forget it). | |
| Depeche Mode – (Set Me Free) Remotivate Me Lyrics | 18 years ago |
|
Very interesting. It's obviously about a pent-up sexual feeling. He/She is waiting for a release - "a reason to scream and shout". The lyrics speak for themselves. However, the third verse confuses me somewhat: "But wasn't there more than this numb sensation?" Martin Gore does that a lot; he will write a song that's so easy to understand and then make it a little confusing by adding something at the end, something a bit doubtful or against the grain. |

| U2 – Lady With the Spinning Head Lyrics | 18 years ago |
|
The "lady with the spinning head" refers to the actual roulette wheel. When he speaks of "she's got the rent", it shows that he's not gambling for fun, he's gambling his money in order to pay for things and he thinks that its the "ticket out of town." ... he obviously isn't always successful though - "Mean old man took away my car those credit guys they've got the power" |
