DEPECHE MODE

Construction Time Again


1. LOVE, IN ITSELF

2. MORE THAN A PARTY
                Lots of surprises in store
                This isn't a party it's a whole lot more


                We've had enough of this blind man's bluff
                You've kept us in the dark for long enough
                This is more than a party


                Keep telling us we're to have fun
                Then take all the ice cream so we've got none
                This is more than a party


                The failed magician waves his wand
                And in an instant the laughter's gone
                This is more than a party


                Lots of surprises in store
                This isn't a party it's a whole lot more
                More than a party

3. PIPELINE
                Get out the crane
                Construction time again
                What is it this time


                We're laying on a pipeline


                Let the beads of sweat flow
                Until the ends have met, though
                It could take a long time


                Working on a pipeline
                Taking from the greedy, giving to the needy


                On this golden day
                Work's been sent our way
                That could last a lifetime


                Working on a pipeline


                From the heart of the land
                To the mouth of the man
                Must reach him sometime


                We're laying on a pipeline


                Taking from the greedy, giving to the needy

4. EVERYTHING COUNTS
                The handshake
                Seals the contract
                From the contract
                There's no turning back
                The turning point
                Of a career
                In Korea, being insincere
                The holiday
                Was fun packed
                The contract
                Still intact


                The grabbing hands
                Grab all they can
                All for themselves
                After all


                It's a competitive world
                Everything counts in large amounts


                The graph
                On the wall
                Tells the story
                Of it all
                Picture it now
                See just how
                The lies and deceit
                Gained a little more power
                Confidence
                Taken in
                By a sun tan
                And a grin


                The grabbing hands
                Grab all they can
                All for themselves
                After all


                It's a competitive world
                Everything counts in large amounts


                The grabbing hands
                Grab all they can
                Everything counts in large amounts

5. TWO MINUTE WARNING
                We're lying by the orange sky
                Two million miles across the land
                Scattered to the highest high
                Expect they'll either laugh or cry


                No sex, no consequence, no sympathy
                You're good enough to eat


                Two minute warning
                Two minutes later
                When time has come
                My days are numbered


                The dawning of another year
                Marks time for those who understand
                One in four still here
                While you and I go hand in hand


                No radio, no sound, no sin, no sanctuary
                So welcome to your last


                Two minute warning
                Two minutes later
                When time has come
                My days are numbered


                The sun, the solitude, the cemetery
                So welcome to your last


                Two minute warning
                Two minutes later
                When time has come
                My days are numbered

6. SHAME
                Do you ever get that feeling
                When the guilt begins to hurt?
                Seeing all the children
                Wallowing in dirt
                Crying out with hunger
                Crying out in pain
                At least the dirt will wash off
                When it starts to rain


                Soap won't wash away your shame


                Do you ever get the feeling
                That something isn't right?
                Seeing your brother's fist
                Clenched ready for the fight
                Soon the fighting turns to weapons
                And the weapons turn to wounds
                So the doctor's stitch and stitch and stitch
                And stitch and stitch and stitch and stitch


                Surgery won't improve your pain


                It all seems so stupid
                It makes me want to give up
                But why should I give up
                When it all seems so stupid?


                Do you ever get the feeling
                That something can't be done?
                To eradicate these problems
                And make the people one
                Do you ever get that feeling
                Something like a nagging itch?
                And all the while the doctors stitch
                And stitch and stitch and stitch and stitch


                Hope alone won't remove the stains (for shame)


                It all seems so stupid
                It makes me want to five up
                But why should I give up
                When it all seems so stupid?

7. THE LANDSCAPE IS CHANGING
                The landscape is changing, the landscape is crying
                Thousand of acres of forest are dying
                Carbon copies from the hills above the forestline
                Acid streams are flowing ill across the countryside


                'Cause I don't care if you're going nowhere
                Just take good care of the world
                I don't care if you're going nowhere
                Just take good care of the world


                Now we're rearranging there's no use denying
                Mountains and valleys can't you hear them sighing?
                Evolution, the solution, almost certainty
                Can you imagine this intrusion of their privacy?


                'Cause I don't care if you're going nowhere
                Just take good care of the world
                I don't care if you're going nowhere
                Just take good care of the world


                Token gestures, some semblance of intelligence
                Can we be blamed for the security of ignorance


                'Cause I don't care if you're going nowhere
                Just take good care of the world
                I don't care if you're going nowhere
                Just take good care of the world

8. TOLD YOU SO
                And do those feet in modern times
                Walk upon the flowers and
                Walk upon their brothers while their
                Heads are busy lying low
                Trying to keep to cover, oh


                Something went wrong along the way
                Everybody's waiting for judgment day
                So they can go "Told you so"
                They can go "Told you so"


                Bring me my gun of itching desire
                Bring me my bullets and I will fire
                Sights set higher than the tall church spire


                Something went wrong along the way
                Everybody's waiting for judgment day
                So they can go "Told you so"
                They can go "Told you so"


                Standing in line, the blind lead the blind
                Waiting and waiting for an overdue sign
                Brothers and sisters playing Chinese Whispers
                If things aren't suited then they'll get diluted


                Here's one more dead with a hole in his head
                He shouldn't have said all the things he said
                Many tears were shed for the blood he bled


                Something went wrong along the way
                Everybody's waiting for judgment day
                So they can go "Told you so"
                They can go "Told you so"

9. AND THEN...
                Let's take a map of the world
                Tear it into pieces
                All of the boys and the girls
                Will see how easy it is


                To put it all down and start again
                From the top to the bottom and then
                I'll have faith, or I prefer
                To think that things couldn't turn out worse


                All that we need at the start's
                Universal revolution (that's all)
                And if we trust in our hearts
                We'll find the solution's


                To put it all down and start again
                From the top to the bottom and then
                I'll have faith, or I prefer
                To think that things couldn't turn out worse


                Took a plane across the world
                Got in a car
                And when I reached my destination
                I hadn't gone far


                Let's take the whole of the world
                The mountains and the sand
                Let all the boys and the girls
                Shape it in their hands


                To put it all down and start again
                From the top to the bottom and then
                I'll have faith, or I prefer
                To think that things couldn't turn out worse
