[Verse 1]
Sea of Sin
I'm swimming in
And I'm taking a dive
My mind's in need
So my body feeds
And it keeps me alive

[Pre-Chorus]
It gets better and better
As it gets wetter and wetter

[Chorus]
Sea of Sin
Know where you've been
But I don't care

[Interlude]

[Verse 2]
Sea of Sin
Through thick and thin
For better or worse
My mind's in need
So my body feeds
And it quenches my thirst

[Pre-Chorus]
You look cheaper and cheaper
As we sink deeper and deeper

[Chorus]
Sea of Sin
Know where you've been
'Cause I've been there

[Bridge]
Here, under God's sky
His watchful eye
And all of the lies
My consolation prize

[Verse 3]
Sea of Sin
My second skin
My home from home
When I'm in doubt
My hands reach out
And I'm never alone

[Pre-Chorus]
It gets wetter and wetter
As it gets better and better

[Chorus]
Sea of Sin
Know where you've been
And I'm prepared
Sea of Sin
Know where you've been
Yes I'm aware
Sea of Sin
Know where you've been
'Cause I've been there
Sea of Sin
Know where you've been
And I don't care
Sea of Sin
Know where you've been
And I don't care

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.
