Released: September 29, 1984

Songwriter: Alan Wilder

Producer: Gareth Jones Daniel Miller Depeche Mode

[Verse 1: Dave Gahan]
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

[Pre-Chorus 1: Dave Gahan]
No sex, no consequence, no sympathy
You're good enough to heat

[Chorus: Martin L. Gore & Dave Gahan]
Two minute warning two minutes later
When time has come my days are numbered
Two minute warning two minutes later
When time has come my days are numbered

[Verse 2: Dave Gahan]
The dawning of another year
Marks time for those who understand
One in four still here
While you and I go hand in hand

[Pre-Chorus 2: Dave Gahan]
No radio, no sound, no sin, no sanctuary
So welcome to your last

[Chorus: Martin L. Gore & Dave Gahan]
Two minute warning two minutes later
When time has come my days are numbered
Two minute warning

[Interlude]

[Pre-Chorus 3: Dave Gahan]
The sun, the solitude, the cemetery
So welcome to your last

[Chorus: Martin L. Gore & Dave Gahan]
Two minute warning two minutes later
When time has come my days are numbered
Two minute warning two minutes later
When time has come my days are numbered
Two minute warning two minutes later
When time has come my days are numbered
"Oh oh"

[Interlude: Dave Gahan]
"Come on!"

[Outro: Dave Gahan]
"Thank you"

Depeche Mode

Depeche Mode are recognized as one of the most artistically influential bands of the late 20th century. Commercially, they have released 14 studio albums to date, and sold more than 100 million records. Their most recent album, Spirit, hit the streets in March 2017.

The band got their start in Basildon, Essex in 1980, and named themselves after a French fashion magazine. They rose to fame with hits that have become “Just Can’t Get Enough” (1981), “Everything Counts” (1983), and “People Are People” (1984), to name a few. One of their most famous concerts was at the Pasadena Rose Bowl in 1988.

Martin Gore has been the band’s primary songwriter since Vince Clarke left in the early 1980s (and went on to form Yazoo and Erasure). Alan Wilder replaced Clarke on keyboards in 1982, but left in 1995 (reinvesting his creative energy in his band, Recoil, which he had started in 1986). Since then, the band has comprised frontman Dave Gahan, multi-instrumentalist Martin Gore, and keyboardist Andy Fletcher—all of whom are original members.
