[Verse 1]
Mmm, I've been dirt
And I don't care
Mmm, I've been dirt
And I don't care

[Chorus]
'Cause I'm burning inside
'Cause I'm burning inside

[Post-Chorus]
I'm the fire of life
Yeah, alright

[Verse 2]
Mmm, I've been hurt
And I don't care
Mmm, I've been hurt
And I don't care

[Chorus]
'Cause I'm burning inside
'Cause I'm burning inside
And do you feel it?
Said do you feel it when you touch me?
Said do you feel it when you touch me?

[Post-Chorus]
I'm a fire
Well, there's a fire
Yeah, alright

[Interlude]

[Chorus]
It's just a burning inside
It's just a burning inside
Said do you feel it?
Said do you feel it when you cut me?
Said do you feel it when you cut me?

[Post-Chorus]
There's a fire
There's a fire
A fire inside

[Outro]
It was just a dreaming

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.
