[Intro: Martin L. Gore]
Fill me with desire, set me on fire
Fill me with desire, set me on fire
Fill me with desire, set me on fire
Fill me with desire, set me on fire

[Chorus: Dave Gahan]
Remotivate me
Remotivate me
Remotivate me
Remotivate me

[Verse 1: Dave Gahan]
Remotivate me, set me burning
After years in deep freeze, my body is yearning
For a new lease on life
Add a little spice

[Chorus: Dave Gahan]
Set me free, remotivate me
Remotivate me

[Verse 2: Dave Gahan]
Give me a reason to scream and shout
Give me something to get excited about
When everything is looking dull
I'm sure it isn’t impossible to

[Chorus: Dave Gahan]
Set me free, remotivate me

[Verse 3: Dave Gahan]
Remotivate me, set me burning
After years in deep freeze, my body is yearning
For a new lease on life
Add a little spice

[Chorus: Dave Gahan]
Set me free, remotivate me
Remotivate me

[Post-Chorus: Dave Gahan]
Set me free
Set me free
(Remotivate me)
Set me free
Set me free

[Interlude: Martin L. Gore]
Set me free
Set me free
Set me free
Set me free
Fill me with desire, set me on fire

[Bridge: Dave Gahan]
Don't think I'm impatient
Because I’m willing to wait
But something must happen
Before it gets too late
It could be my imagination
But wasn't there more than this numb sensation?

[Chorus: Dave Gahan]
Set me free, remotivate me
Remotivate me

[Post-Chorus: Dave Gahan]
Set me free
Set me free
Set me free
Set me free
Set me free
Set me free

[Verse 4: Dave Gahan]
Remotivate me, set me burning
After years in deep freeze, my body is yearning
For a new lease on life
Add a little spice

[Chorus: Dave Gahan]
Set me free, remotivate me
Remotivate me

[Post-Chorus: Dave Gahan]
Set me free
Set me free
(Remotivate me)
Set me free
Set me free (Set me free)
(Remotivate me)
Set me free
Set me free (Set me free)
(Remotivate me)
Set me free
Set me free
(Remotivate me)
Set me free
Set me free
(Remotivate me)
Set me free
Set me free
(Remotivate me)
Set me free
Set me free
(Remotivate me)
Set me free
Set me free
(Remotivate me)
Set me free
Set me free
(Remotivate me)
Set me free
(Fill me with desire, set me on fire)
Set me free
(Remotivate me)
Set me free

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.
