                         The Lyrics:


@SONG: WHO NEEDS LOVE LIKE THAT
----------------------------------
(written by Vince Clarke)
-----------------------------------
Who needs love like that!

There's something going on
Something not quite right
There's something strange
A-happening to me
There's someone at the door
Hear voices in my head
It seems things aren't the way
They ought to be

Who needs love like that
Who needs love like that

It seemed so clear before
I held my point of view
I kept my conversation
Never changed
Now it's all gone wrong
Words are kind of hard
Nothing else around me
Looks the same

Who needs love like that
Who needs love like that
Love can turn you upside-down
Then leave you cold
It's plain to see
You're losing all control
(Losing all control)

I'd like to understand
Like to find out why
I can't remember all
The lines that you said
But then I see your face
And nothing really counts
Don't tell me now
This feeling will stay

Who needs love like that
Who needs love like that
Love can turn you upside-down
Then leave you cold
It's plain to see
You're losing all control
(Losing all control)
Who needs love like that
Who needs love like that
Love can turn you upside-down
Then leave you cold
It's plain to see
You're losing all control
(Losing all control)


@SONG: HEAVENLY ACTION
-------------------------
(written by Vince Clarke/Andly Bell)
----------------------------------------------
Angel made in heaven
All I want is your love
Gimme some of that action, reaction
Angel made in heaven
All I want is your love
Gimme some of that action

Found out I was standing
In your firing line
You made the mark
Your arrow went through me
Cut a real impression
On this heart of mine (on this heart of mine)
Now what you want is happening to me (to me)

Angel made in heaven
All I want is your love
Gimme some of that action, reaction
Angel made in heaven
All I want is your love
Gimme some of that action

Be my lover
I don't want another
My angel from heaven
Be my lover
I don't want another
My angel from heaven

Angel made in heaven
All I want is your love
Gimme some of that action

Arrow in my heart
Yeah we were meant to be
I knew it was my name
You were calling
Celebration now your
Standing next to me (stand next to me)
It's only love in motion
I'm falling, falling

Angel made in heaven
All I want is your love
Gimme some of that action, reaction
Angel made in heaven
All I want is your love
Gimme some of that action

Be my lover
I don't want another
My angel from heaven
Be my lover
I don't want another
My angel from heaven

Angel, angel

Angel made in heaven
All I want is your love
Gimme some of that action, reaction
Angel made in heaven
All I want is your love
Gimme some of that actionChorus to fade
Angel made in heaven
All I want is your love
Gimme some of that action, reaction
Angel made in heaven
All I want is your love
Gimme some of that actionChorus to fade


@SONG: OH L'AMOUR
--------------------
(written by Clarke/Bell)
---------------------------------
Oh L'Amour
Broke my heart
Now I'm aching for you
Mon amour
What's a boy in love
Supposed to do

Looking for you
You were looking for me
Always reaching for you
You were too blind to see
Oh love of my heart
Why leave me alone
I'm falling apart
No good on my own

Oh L'Amour
Broke my heart
Now I'm aching for you
Mon amour
What's a boy in love
Supposed to do

Why throw it away
Why walk out on me
I just live for the day
For the way it should be
There once was a time
Had you here by my side
You said I wasn't your kind
Only here for the ride

Oh L'Amour
Broke my heart
Now I'm aching for you
Mon amour
What's a boy in love
Supposed to do

No emotional ties
You don't remember my name
I lay down and die
I'm only to blame
Oh love of my heart
It's up to you now
You tore me apart
I heard inside-out

Oh L'Amour
Broke my heart
Now I'm aching for you
Mon amour
What's a boy in love
Supposed to do
Chorus to fade
Oh L'Amour
Broke my heart
Now I'm aching for you
Mon amour
What's a boy in love
Supposed to do
Chorus to fade


@SONG: SOMETIMES
-------------------
(written by Clarke/Bell)
-----------------------------------
It's not the way you lead me
By the hand into the bedroom
It's not the way you leave your clothes
Upon the bathroom floor
Been thinking about you
I just couldn't wait to see
Fling my arms around you
As we fall in ecstasy

Ooh sometimes
The truth is harder
Than the pain inside
Ooh sometimes
It's the broken heart
That decides

It's not the way you caress me
Toy with my affection
It's not my sense of emptiness
You fill with your desire
Climb in bed beside me
We can lock the world outside
Touch me satisfy me
Want your body next to mine

Ooh sometimes
The truth is harder
Than the pain inside
Ooh sometimes
It's the broken heart
That decides

Ooh sometimes
The truth is harder
Than the pain inside
Ooh sometimes
It's the broken heart
That decides
Ooh sometimes
The truth is harder
Than the pain inside
Ooh sometimes
It's the broken heart
That decides


@SONG: IT DOESN'T HAVE TO BE
-------------------------------
(written by Clarke/Bell)
----------------------------------
You are one side
And I am on the other
Are we divided?

You are one side
I am on the other
Are we divided?
Why can't we live together
There are no rights
This isn't your decision
We need to talk of changing things
But no one wants to listen
It doesn't have to be like that
It doesn't have to be like that
It doesn't have to be like that

A heart on the inside
The same as any other
Are we divided?
Someone always has to suffer
We are broken
There's no one left to change it
Is that the way it has to be?
Why can't we rearrange it?
It doesn't have to be like that
(One against one)
It doesn't have to be like that
(One against one)
It doesn't have to be like that

What is the secret
In calling me a brother?
Are we divided?
Always one against the other
We are strong now
Put down the ammunition
For what we know is right
Is gonna breakdown this division
It doesn't have to be like that
(One against one)
It doesn't have to be like that
(One against one)
It doesn't have to be like that
(One against one)
(One against one)
It doesn't have to be like that

You are one side
And I am on the other
Are we divided?


@SONG: VICTIM OF LOVE
------------------------
(written by Vince Clarke/Andy Bell)
---------------------------------------------
I don't wanna look
Like some kind of fool
I don't wanna break
My heart over you
I'm building a wall
Everyday it's getting higher
This time I won't end up
Another victim of love

You say that I could
Show some emotion
That I've been
Keeping secrets from you
But I can see through
All your sweet talk
And all of your affection untrue
I'm gonna find you out
If I scream and I shout
You won't break down my protection

I don't wanna look
Like some kind of fool
I don't wanna break
My heart over you
I'm building a wall
Everyday it's getting higher
This time I won't end up
Another victim of love

I'm gonna lock up
What I'm feeling inside
Ain't no way you can
Break down the door
'Cos this time I've learned my lesson
You can take this declaration of war
Step right back
Put on your coat and your hat
Gonna avoid all complications

I don't wanna look
Like some kind of fool
I don't wanna break
My heart over you
I'm building a wall
Everyday it's getting higher
This time I won't end up
Another victim of love


@SONG: THE CIRCUS
--------------------
(written by Clarke/Bell)
----------------------------------
Call it new technology
And they use it to burn
And they show no concern
Work for their prosperity
While the big wheels turn
Now it's too late to learn
Don't upset the teacher
Though we know he lied to you
Don't upset the preacher
Gonna close his eyes for you
And it's a shame
That you're so afraid
Just a worker waiting
In the pouring rain
Putting back the pieces
Of a broken dream

Father worked in industry
Now the work has moved on
And the factories gone
See them sell your history
Where once you were strong
And you used to belong
There was once a future
For a working man
There was once a lifetime
For a skillful hand
Yesterday
Don't upset the teacher
Though we know he lied to you
Don't upset the preacher
Gonna close his eyes for you
And it's a shame
That you're so afraid
Just a worker waiting
In the pouring rain
Putting back the pieces
Of a broken dream

Tempers fray so easily
In desperate despair
Is there anyone that cares
Just another tragedy
Just a personal affair
In a room somewhere
There was once a future
For a working man
There was once a lifetime
For a skillful hand
Yesterday
And it's a shame
That you're so afraid
Just a worker waiting
In the pouring rain
Putting back the pieces
Of a broken dream


@SONG: SHIP OF FOOLS
-----------------------
(written by Clarke/Bell)
----------------------------------
I can't believe what is happening to me
My head is spinning
The flowers and the trees are encapsulating me
And I go spinning
He was the baby of the class you know
He really didn't know that one and one was two
Two and two were four
He was the baby of the class you know
He really didn't know that, really didn't know that
Oh what a poor soul
Oooh, do we not set sail on the ship of fools
Oooh, why is love so precious and so cruel?

I close my eyes and I try to imagine
What you're dreaming
Why can't you see what you're doing to me
My world is spinning
He was the baby of the class you know
He really didn't know that one and one was two
Two and two were four
He was the baby of the class you know
You were so young and so uncertain
Suffer little children
Oh what a poor soul
Oooh, do we not set sail on the ship of fools
Oooh, why is love so precious and so cruel?

He was the baby of the class you know
He really didn't know that one and one was two
Two and two were four
He was the baby of the class you know
You were so young and so uncertain
Suffer little children
Oh what a poor soul
Oooh, do we not set sail on the ship of fools
Oooh, why is love so precious and so cruel?
Oooh, do we not set sail on the ship of fools
Oooh, why is love so precious and so cruel?


@SONG: CHAINS OF LOVE
------------------------
(written by Clarke/Bell)
----------------------------------
How can I explain
When there are few words I can choose
How can I explain
When words get broken

Do you remember
There was a time ahaha
When people on the street
Were walking hand in hand in hand
They used to talk about the weather
Making plans together
Days would last forever
Come to me, cover me, hold me
Together we'll break these chains of love
Don't give up, don't give up
Together with me and my baby
Break the chains of love

Do you remember
Once upon a time ahaha
When there were open doors
An invitation to the world
We were falling in and out with lovers
Looking out for others
Our sisters and our brothers
Come to me, cover me, hold me
Together we'll break these chains of love
Don't give up, don't give up
Together with me and my baby
Break the chains of love
Together we'll break these chains of love

How can I explain
When there are few words I can choose
How can I explain
When words get broken
We used to talk about the weather
Making plans together
Days would last forever
Come to me, cover me, hold me
Together we'll break these chains of love
Don't give up, don't give up
Together with me and my baby
Break the chains of love
Together we'll break these chains of love


@SONG: A LITTLE RESPECT
---------------------------
(written by Clarke/Bell)
----------------------------------
I try to discover
A little something to make me sweeter
Oh baby refrain from breaking my heart
I'm so in love with you
I'll be forever blue
That you give me no reason
Why you're making me work so hard
That you give me no
That you give me no
That you give me no
That you give me no
Soul, I hear you calling
Oh baby please give a little respect to me

And if I should falter
Would you open your arms out to me
We can make love not war
And live at peace with our hearts
I'm so in love with you
I'll be forever blue
What religion or reason
Could drive a man to forsake his lover
Don't you tell me no
Don't you tell me no
Don't you tell me no
Don't you tell me no
Soul, I hear you calling
Oh baby please give a little respect to me

I'm so in love with you
I'll be forever blue
That you give me no reason
Why you're making me work so hard
That you give me no
That you give me no
That you give me no
That you give me no
Soul, I hear you calling
Oh baby please give a little respect to me
Soul, I hear you calling
Oh baby please give a little respect to me


@SONG: STOP!
---------------
(written by Clarke/Bell)
----------------------------------
We'll be together again
I've been waiting for a long time
We're gonna be we're gonna be
Together again
I've been connected
To the right line
We'll be together
And nobody never
Gonna disconnect us
Or ever separate us
Or say to us you've got to
Stop!
Stand there where you are
Before you go too far
Before you make a fool out of love
Stop!
Don't jump before you look
Get hung upon a hook
Before you make a fool out of love

We'll be together again
I've been waiting for a long time
We're gonna be we're gonna be
Together again
I've been connected
To the right line
We'll be together
And nobody never
Gonna disconnect us
Or ever separate us
Or say to us you've got to
Stop!
Stand there where you are
Before you go too far
Before you make a fool out of love
Stop!
Don't jump before you look
Get hung upon a hook
Before you make a fool out of love

We'll be together
And nobody never
Gonna disconnect us
Or ever separate us
Or say to us you've got to
Stop!
Stand there where you are
Before you go too far
Before you make a fool out of love
Stop!
Don't jump before you look
Get hung upon a hook
Before you make a fool out of love


@SONG: DRAMA!
----------------
(written by Clarke/Bell)
----------------------------------
One rule for us, for you another
Do unto yourself as you see fit for your brother
Is that not within your realm of understanding?
A fifty second capacity of mind, too demanding?
Well then poor unfortunate you
There are a myriad of things that you can do
Like pick up a pen and paper or go talk to a friend
The history of the future
No violence or revenge
Your shame is never...ending
Just one psychological drama after another
You are guilty and how you ever entered into this life
God only knows, the infinite complexities of love

We all have the ability
Our freedom is fragile
We all laugh and we cry don't we?
We all bleed and we smile
Your shame is never...ending
Just one psychological drama after another
You are guilty and how you ever entered into this life
God only knows, you're not to sacrifice the art of love

Your shame is never...ending
Just one psychological drama after another
You are guilty and how you ever entered into this life
God only knows, the infinite complexities of love

Your shame is never...ending
Just one psychological drama after another
We are guilty and how you ever entered into this life
The Lord only knows, the ultimate necessity of love


@SONG: YOU SURROUND ME
-------------------------
(written by Clarke/Bell)
----------------------------------
Don't ever let me take you for granted
You've got your finger on the pulse of my soul
Let me place a kiss in the small of your back
Love and protect you fo the evils of this world
Baby don't ever leave me stranded
Whoever said that the streets were paved with gold
We'll I'm afraid that we're all sadly mistaken
There's nothing here till we have someone to hold
I love you with all the joy of living
Till the lights go down in New York City
It's a special love affair
And there's magic in the air
You gotta shake me down
Bring me 'round to my senses
Till I'm lost and found
And you surround me with your senses

If love wasn't here would we reinvent it?
Oh take me down to the very root of my soul
Oh baby say it as if you really mean it
And feel the passion
Work it's way up through your skin
I love you with all the joy of living
Till the lights go down in New York City
It's a special love affair
And there's magic in the air
You gotta shake me down
Bring me 'round to my senses
Till I'm lost and found
And you surround me with your senses

Let me take you by the hand
And lead you to a safe place in this world

You gotta shake me down
Bring me 'round to my senses
Till I'm lost and found
And you surround me with your senses
You gotta shake me down
Bring me 'round to my senses
Till I'm lost and found
And you surround me with your senses
You gotta shake me down
Bring me 'round to my senses
Till I'm lost and found
And you surround me with your senses


@SONG: BLUE SAVANNAH
-----------------------
(written by Clarke/Bell)
----------------------------------
Blue Savannah song
Oh it's a blue Savannah song
Somewhere 'cross the desert
Sometime in the early hour
In a restless world
On the open highways
My home is where the heart is
Sweet to surrender to you only
I send my love to you

Blue Savannah song
Oh it's a blue Savannah song
Racing 'cross the desert
At a hundred miles an hour
To the orange side
Through the clouds and thunder
Home is where the heart is
Sweet to surrender to you only
I send my love to you

I'm on my way back
And your love will bring me home
I'm travelling fast
And your love will bring me home
Will I discover
That your love will bring me home?

Somewhere 'cross the desert
Sometime in the early hour
To the orange side
Through the clouds and thunder
My home is where the heart is
Sweet to surrender to you only
I send my love to you
Home is where the heart is
Sweet to surrender to you only
I send my love to you
Savannah song
To you only
To you only


@SONG: STAR
--------------
(written by Clarke/Bell)
----------------------------------
We go waiting for the stars
To come showering down
From Moscow to Mars
Universe falling down

You got to look real hard
There's a fiery star
Hidden out there somewhere
Not the satellite of love
But a laser
Shooting out it's shiny tongue there
God is love, God is war
T.V. preacher tell me more
Father help me am I pure?
As pure as pure as heaven
Sent you money sent you flowers
Could I worship you for hours
In whose hands are we anyway?
We go waiting for the stars
To come showering down
From Moscow to Mars
Universe falling down

You got to look real hard
Is it in your heart?
Yeah it's in there somewhere
The power wrapped in your palm
Show it to me
Hit them with your wrath and thunder
What's your pleasure?
Tell it to me
How did he know?
Show your beauty
In you somewhere, somewhere in me
Pure as pure as heaven
Sent you money sent you flowers
Could I worship you for hours
In whose hands are we anyway?
Yeeha

Rolling along through a rose coloured glow
The city looks pretty in pink
Armageddon is here!
Did you ever have a lover
Leave you for another
Never to discover
War is not the answer
Leave you only disenchanted

God is love, God is war
T.V. preacher tell me more
Father help me am I pure?
As pure as pure as heaven
Sent you money sent you flowers
Could I worship you for hours
In whose hands are we anyway?

We go waiting for the stars
To come showering down
From Moscow to Mars
Universe falling down
We go waiting for the stars
To come showering down
From Moscow to Mars
Universe falling down


@SONG: CHORUS
-----------------
(written by Clarke/Bell) 
---------------------------------- 
Go ahead with your dreamin'
For what it's worth
Or you'll be stricken bound
Kickin' up dirt
For when it's dark
You never know what the night it may bring
Go ahead with your schemin'
And shop at home
You'll find treasure
While cookin' up bones
But the knife is sharp
You'd better watch that you don't cut your hands
And they covered up the sun
Until the birds had flown away
And the fishes in the sea
Had gone to sleep
And they covered up the sun
Until the birds had flown away
And the fishes in the sea
Had gone to sleep

Go ahead with your dreamin'
For what it's worth
Or you'll be stricken bound
Kickin' up dirt
For when it's dark
You never know what the night it may bring
Go ahead with your schemin'
And shop at home
You'll find treasure
While cookin' up bones
But the knife is sharp
You'd better watch that you don't cut your hands
And they covered up the sun
Until the birds had flown away
And the fishes in the sea
Had gone to sleep 
And they covered up the sun
Until the birds had flown away
And the fishes in the sea
Had gone to sleep 

Holy Moses our hearts are screaming
Souls are lifting only dreaming
We'll be waiting some are praying
For a time when no one's cheating
 
The sunlight rising over the horizon
Just a distant memory the dawn chorus
Birds singing bells ringing
In our hearts in our minds...

And they covered up the sun
Until the birds had flown away
And the fishes in the sea
Had gone to sleep 
And they covered up the sun
Until the birds had flown away
And the fishes in the sea
Had gone to sleep 
And they covered up the sun
Until the birds had flown away
And the fishes in the sea
Had gone to sleep 
And they covered up the sun
Until the birds had flown away
And the fishes in the sea
Had gone to sleep 


@SONG: LOVE TO HATE YOU
--------------------------- 
(written by Clarke/Bell)
---------------------------------- 
Waoh Oh Oh Oh! Waoh Oh Oh Oh! Waoh Oh Oh Oh!
Waoh Oh Oh Oh! Waoh Oh Oh Oh! Waoh Oh Oh Oh!
 
I'm crazy flowing over with ideas
A thousand ways to woo a lover so sincere?
Love and hate what a beautiful combination
Sending shivers up and down my spine
For every Casanova that appears
My sense of hesitation disappears
Love and hate what a beautiful combination
Sending shivers up and down my spine
And the lovers that you sent for me
Didn't come with any satisfaction guarantee
So I return them to the sender
And the note attached will read
How I love to hate you
I love to hate you
I love to hate you
I love to hate you
 
Oh you really still expect me to believe
Every single letter I receive
Sorry you what a shameful situation
Sending shivers up and down my spine
I like to read murder mystery
I like to know the killer isn't me
Love and hate what a beautiful combination
Sending shivers make me quiver
Feel it sliver up and down my spine
And the lovers that you sent for me
Didn't come with any satisfaction guarantee
So I return them to the sender
And the note attached will read
How I love to hate you
I love to hate you
I love to hate you
I love to hate you

And the lovers that you sent for me
Didn't come with any satisfaction guarantee
So I return them to the sender
And the note attached will read
How I love to hate you
I love to hate you
And the lovers that you sent for me
Didn't come with any satisfaction guarantee
So I return them to the sender
And the note attached will read
How I love to hate you
I love to hate you
I love to hate you
I love to hate you
I love to hate you
I love to hate you


@SONG: AM I RIGHT?
---------------------
(written by Clarke/Bell)
--------------------------------- 
Wanderin' through the back roads
And the rain comes rushin' down
To resolve your love
For this man in his twenties
Am I right? Am I wrong? Or am I just dreaming?
 
Climbing up the backstairs
There's a chill wind in the air
I wrap up from the cold
Pull the blinds in the window
Who was there? Was it you? Or am I just dreaming?
Look at all the lonely people
Walking miles around the town
I can see the old cathedral
But I have to play it down
Boats along the river
Setting up their sails
And life carries on as normal
Although you're not around
Waiting at the bus stop
Laughing off the rain
Shaking their umbrellas
'Till it starts again
Flowers in the water
Floating off downstream
Paper in the guitar
Blowing in the breeze
 
Am I right? Am I wrong? Or am I just dreaming?
 
Climbing up the backstairs
There's a chill wind in the air
I wrap up from the cold
Pull the blinds in the window
Who was there? Was it you? Or am I just dreaming?
Look at all the lonely people
Walking miles around the town
I can see the old cathedral
But I have to play it down
Boats along the river
Setting up their sails
And life carries on as normal
Although you're not around
Waiting at the bus stop
Laughing off the rain
Shaking their umbrellas
'Till it starts again
Flowers in the water
Floating off downstream
Paper in the guitar
Blowing in the breeze


Am I right? Am I wrong? Or am I just dreaming?

Wanderin' through the back roads
And the rain comes rushin' down
To resolve your love
For this man in his twenties
Am I right? Am I wrong? Or am I just dreaming?


@SONG: BREATH OF LIFE
------------------------
(written by Clarke/Bell)
---------------------------------- 
Never had a point of view
'Cause my mind was always someone else's mind
I never had to tell a lie
'Cause I left the choices up to them
Don't know why but I did
Oh I want life
Life wants me
To breath in it's love
Take me I'm yours
Now I'm comin' up for air
I'm gonna live my time
For the rest of my life
Then I'll be comin' back for more
 
I never had to call the tune
'Cause I always drifted with the tide of the moon
I would go out every night
Lookin' for someone to treat me right
Not a chance not a hope in this world
Oh I want life
Life wants me
To breath in it's love
Take me I'm yours
Now I'm comin' up for air
I'm gonna live my time
For the rest of my life
Then I'll be comin' back for more
 
 
@SONG: TAKE A CHANCE ON ME
-----------------------------
(written by Benny Anderson and Bjorn Ulvaeus)
-------------------------------------------------------
If you change your mind, I'm the first in line
Honey I'm still free
Take a chance on me
If you need me, let me know, gonna be around
If you've got no place to go, if you're feeling down
If you're all alone when the pretty birds have flown
Honey I'm still free
Take a chance on me
Gonna do my very best and it ain't no lie
If you put me to the test, if you let me try

Take a chance on me
  (That's all I ask of you honey)
Take a chance on me

We can go dancing, we can go walking, as long as we're together
Listen to some music, maybe just talking, get to know you better
'Cos you know I've got
So much that I wanna do, when I dream I'm alone with you
It's magic
You want me to leave it there, afraid of a love affair
But I think you know
That I can't let go

If you change your mind, I'm the first in line
Honey I'm still free
Take a chance on me
If you need me, let me know, gonna be around
If you've got no place to go, if you're feeling down
If you're all alone when the pretty birds have flown
Honey I'm still free
Take a chance on me
Gonna do my very best and it ain't no lie
If you put me to the test, if you let me try

Take a chance on me
  (Come on, give me a break will you?)
Take a chance on me

Oh you can take your time baby, I'm in no hurry, know I'm gonna get you
You don't wanna hurt me, baby don't worry, I ain't gonna let you
Let me tell you now
My love is strong enough to last when things are rough
It's magic
You say that I waste my time but I can't get you off my mind
No I can't let go
'Cos I love you so

If you change your mind, I'm the first in line
Honey I'm still free
Take a chance on me
If you need me, let me know, gonna be around
If you've got no place to go, if you're feeling down
If you're all alone when the pretty birds have flown
Honey I'm still free
Take a chance on me
Gonna do my very best, baby can't you see
Gotta put me to the test, take a chance on me
  (Take a chance, take a chance, take a chance on me)

Ba ba ba ba baa, ba ba ba ba baa
Honey I'm still free
Take a chance on me
Gonna do my very best, baby can't you see
Gotta put me to the test, take a chance on me
  (Take a chance, take a chance, take a chance on me)

Ba ba ba ba baa, ba ba ba ba baa ba-ba
Honey I'm still free
Take a chance on me
