Songwriter: Martin L. Gore

Producer: Depeche Mode Daniel Miller

[Verse 1]
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

[Chorus]
To pull 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

[Verse 2]
All that we need at the start's
Universal Revolution (That's all)
And if we trust in our hearts
We'll find the solutions

[Chorus]
To pull 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

[Verse 3]
Took a plane across the world
Got in a car
When I reached my destination
I hadn't gone far

[Verse 4]
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

[Chorus]
To pull 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
Put it all down and start again
From the top to the bottom and then (That's all)
I'll have faith, or I prefer
To think that things couldn't turn out worse
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 (That's all)
Put it all down and start again
From the top to the bottom and then (That's all)
I'll have faith, or I prefer
To think that things couldn't turn out worse (That's all)
Put it all down and start again
From the top to the bottom and then (That's all)
I'll have faith, or I prefer
To think that things couldn't turn...

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.
