[Verse 1: Martin L. Gore]
For fear that the spell may be broken
When... drug...
Thug...

[Verse 2: Martin L. Gore, (Dave Gahan)]
Things you'd expect to be
Having effect on me
Pass undetectedly
But everyone knows what has got me (Got)
Takes me completely (Takes)
Touches so sweetly (Sweet)
Reaches so deeply (Deep)
I know that nothing can stop me

[Bridge: Martin L. Gore]
Sweetest perfection
An offer was made
An assorted collection
But I wouldn't trade

[Interlude]

[Chorus: Martin L. Gore, (Dave Gahan)]
The sweetest perfection
The sweetest infеction
The sweetest perfеction
The sweetest infection (Sweet, deep)
(Touches so sweetly)
(Reaches so deeply)
(Nothing can stop me)
(Takes me completely)
(Touches so sweetly)
(Reaches so deeply) The sweetest infection
(Nothing can stop me)
(Takes me completely)
(Touches so sweetly)

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.
