ALBUM: Depeche Mode - A Broken Frame (1982) Leave In Silence My Secret Garden Monument Nothing To Fear See You Satellite The Meaning Of Love A Photograph Of You Shouldn't Have Done That The Sun & The Rainfall All songs written by Martin L Gore SONG: Leave In Silence - A Broken Frame I've told myself so many times before But this time I think I mean it for sure We have reached a full stop Nothing's gonna save us from the big drop Reached our natural conclusion Outlived the illusion I hate being in these situations That call for diplomatic relations If I only knew the answer Or I thought we had a chance Or I could stop this I would stop this thing From spreading like a cancer What can I say I don't want to play anymore What can I say I'm heading for the door I can't stand this emotional violence Leave in silence Leave in silence We've been running round in circles all year Doing this and that and getting nowhere This will be the last time I think I said the last time If I only had a potion Some magical lotion That could stop this I would set the wheels in motion SONG: My Secret Garden - A Broken Frame My secret garden is not so secret anymore Run from the house, holding my head in my hands Feeling dejected, feeling like a child might feel It all seems so absurd That this should have occurred My very only secret And I had to go and leak it My secret garden is not so secret anymore No, my secret garden is not so secret anymore Run through the fields, down to the edge of the water Can't stay long, here comes the reason why She'll catch me if she can Take me by the hand I'll have to keep on running And I just can't see the fun in My secret garden not being secret anymore It used to be so easy On days such as these she'd Search and search for hours In among the flowers I loved it - I loved her Play the fool, act so cruel - I loved it Read her book, take a look - I loved her Play the fool, act so cruel - I loved it Read her book, take a look - I loved her It all seems so absurd That this should have occurred My very only secret And I had to go and leak it My secret garden is not so secret anymore SONG: Monument - A Broken Frame When the site was found We laid the foundations down It didn't take long before They came back tumbling down Don't build at night You need a little light How else you going to see What it's going to be like So we picked up our tools And we worked in the morning light With the last stone placed Wasn't it a wonderful sight But it fell back down And scattered all around Anything passes When you need glasses My monument - It fell down My monument - It fell down Work all of my days for this kind of praise It fell down Work all of my days - it fell down SONG: Nothing To Fear - A Broken Frame [instrumental] SONG: See You - A Broken Frame All I want to do is see you again Is that too much to ask for I just want to see your sweet smile Smiled the way it was before Well I'll try not to hold you And I'll try not to kiss you And I won't even touch you All I want to do is see you Don't you know that it's true I remember the days when we walked through the woods We'd sit on a bench for a while I treasure the way we used to laugh and play And look in each others eyes You can keep me at distance if you don't trust my resistance But I swear I won't touch you Well I know five years is a long time and that times change But I think that you'll find people are basically the same If the water's still flowing we can go for a swim And do the things we used to do And if I'm reluctant you can pull me in We can relive our youth But we'll just stay friendly like sister and brother Though I think I still love you SONG: Satellite - A Broken Frame Now hear this my friends I'll never be the same again Going to lock myself in a cold black room Going to shadow myself in a veil of gloom I will function, operate I will be a satellite of hate A satellite of hate Driven to this point by a chain of events Each one pushed me nearer the edge Going to send my message through to you You'll receive the signal too I will function, operate I will be a satellite of hate A satellite of hate Higher, higher Disillusioned - I was disenchanted Forgot the love that had been implanted Heard the lies and I felt the cold It broke my heart and I lost control Now I'm a satellite of a free state I'm a satellite of hate A satellite of hate SONG: The Meaning Of Love - A Broken Frame I've read more than a hundred books Seeing love mentioned many thousand times But despite all the places I've looked It's still no clearer It's just not enough I'm still no nearer The meaning of love Noted down all my observations Spent an evening watching television Still I couldn't say with precision Know it's a feeling and it comes from above But what's the meaning The meaning of love (Tell me) From the notes that I've made so far Love seems something like wanting a scar But I could be wrong I'm just not sure you see I've never been in love before Next I asked several friends of mine If they could spare a few minutes of their time Their looks suggested that I've lost my mind Tell me the answer My Lord high above Tell me the meaning The meaning of love From the notes that I've made so far Love seems something like wanting a scar But I could be wrong I'm just not sure you see I've never been in love before The meaning of love (Tell me) Tell me the meaning of love (Tell me) SONG: A Photograph Of You - A Broken Frame What good is a photograph of you Everything I look at it It makes me feel blue What use is a souvenir Of something we once had When all it ever does is Make me feel bad I wish I could tear it up But again I haven't the guts I wish I could throw it on the fire I wish I could But to say I would I'd be liar What good is a colour print Of a little baby doll When just one little glance Is enough to make me feel dull I hoped I would misplace it But then I take such good care of it I wish it could disappear I say I wish But then I relish It being here What good is a photograph of you Everything I look at it It makes me feel blue Everything I look at it It makes me feel blue Feel blue SONG: Shouldn't Have Done That - A Broken Frame Plans made in the nursery Can change the course of history Remember that Mummy's annoyed, says go and play Don't show your face Stay away all day Shouldn't have done that A small boy and his infantry Marching around so naturally Shouldn't have done that Grows up and goes to school Such a nice boy, obeys all the rules Mummy's proud of that Leaves school to follow his ambition Knows what he wants To be a politician Shouldn't have done that SONG: The Sun & The Rainfall - A Broken Frame Someone will call Something will fall And smash on the floor Without reading the text Know what comes next Seen it before And it's painful Things must change We must re-arrange them Or we'll have to estrange them All that I'm saying A game's not worth playing Over and over again You're the one I like best You retain my interest You're the only one If it wasn't for you Don't know what I'd do Unpredictable like the sun And the rainfall
