Experiences have a lasting impression But words once spoken Don't mean a lot now Belief is the way The way of the innocent And when I say innocent I should say naive So lie to me But do it with sincerity Make me listen Just for a minute Make me think There's some truth in it
Promises made for convenience Aren't necessarily What we need Truth is a word That's lost its meaning The truth has become Merely half-truth So lie to me Like they do it in the factory Make me think That at the end of the day Some great reward Will be coming my way People Are People Lead singer: Dave Gahan
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
It doesn't matter If all this shatters Nothing lasts forever But I'm praying That we're staying Together
I am warmed By your friendship Even when you're far away And I'm happy In the knowledge We may never see the day
When I kiss you And you kiss me Don't pretend you miss me The worst kind Of diseases mind Is on filled with jealousy
If we should meet again Don't try to solve the puzzle Just lay down next to me And please don't move a muscle
I will thank you Most of all for The respect you have for me I'm embarrassed It overwhelms me Because I don't deserve any Stories Of Old Lead singer: Dave Gahan Songwriter: Martin L. Gore Publishing cr
