I was listening to radio on my way to work yesterday and an old Depeche Mode song came on. For whatever reason I have been going over the lyrics of that song as well as the other songs of theirs that I like. I am including a copy of the lyrics to these songs for your enjoyment as well.

Personal Jesus

Your own personal Jesus
Someone to hear your prayers
Someone who cares
Your own personal Jesus
Someone to hear your prayers
Someone who's there

Feeling unknown
And you're all alone
Flesh and bone
By the telephone
Lift up the receiver
I'll make you a believer

Take second best
Put me to the test
Things on your chest
You need to confess
I will deliver
You know I'm a forgiver

Reach out and touch faith
Reach out and touch faith

Your own personal Jesus...

Feeling unknown
And you're all alone
Flesh and bone
By the telephone
Lift up the receiver
I'll make you a believer
I will deliver
You know I'm a forgiver

Reach out and touch faith
Your own personal Jesus...
Reach out and touch faith

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 never even met you

So what could I have done
I can't understand
What makes a man
Hate another man
Help me understand

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

I can't understand
What makes a man
Hate another man
Help me understand

Set Me Free (Remotivate Me)

Set me free
Set me free

Remotivate me
Set me burning
After years in deep freeze
My body is yearning
For a new lease of life
And a little spice

Set me free
Remotivate me

Give me a reason
To scream and shout
Give me something
To get excited about
When everything is looking dull
I'm sure it isn't impossible to

Set me free
Remotivate me

Remotivate me
Set me burning
After years in deep freeze
My body is yearning
For a new lease of life
And a little spice

Set me free
Remotivate me

Don't think I'm impatient
Because I'm willing to wait
But something must must happen
Before it gets too lateIt could be my imagination
But wasn't there more than this dull sensation

Set me free
Remotivate me

John The Revelator

John the Revelator
Put him in a elevator
Take him up to the highest high
Take him up to the top
Where the mountains stop
Let him tell his book of lies

John the Revelator
He's a smooth operator
It's time we cut him down to size
Take him by the hand
And put him on the stand
Let us hear his alibis

By claiming God
As his holy right
He's stealing a God
From the Israelites
Stealing a God
From a Muslim too
There is only one God
Through and through

Seven lies multiplied by seven
Multiplied by seven again
Seven angels with seven trumpets
Send them home on the morning train

Well who's that shouting?
John the Revelator!
All he ever gives us is pain
Well who's that shouting?
John the Revelator!
He should bow his head in shame
