To Have And To Hold Lyrics

Lyric discussion by BekkaZ 

Cover art for To Have And To Hold lyrics by Depeche Mode

There is a theme on this album of filth and sin and the basest parts of human behaviour. This song seems to be a longing for someone who can make him cleaner, more removed from that; someone better than him. Almost like he realizes that he has no moral compass (or at least a seriously flawed one) and wants someone to fulfill that role for him.
