Depeche Mode

Songwriter: Martin L. Gore

Producer: Daniel Miller Depeche Mode

[Intro: Dave Gahan]
Things must change
We must rearrange them

[Verse 1: Dave Gahan]
Someone will call, something will fall
And smash on the floor
Without reading the text know what comes next
Seen it before and it's painful

[Chorus: Dave Gahan]
Things must change
We must rearrange them
Or we'll have to estrange them
All that I'm saying
The game's not worth playing
Over and over again

[Verse 2: Dave Gahan, Martin L. Gore & Andrew Fletcher]
You're the one I like best, you retain my interest
You're the only one
If it wasn't for you, don't know what I'd do
Unpredictablе like the sun and the rainfall

[Bridge: Dave Gahan]
Things must changе
Like the sun (And the rainfall, and the rainfall)
Like the sun (And the rainfall, and the rainfall)

[Chorus: Dave Gahan]
Things must change
We must rearrange them
Or we'll have to estrange them
All that I'm saying
The game's not worth playing
Over and over again

[Outro: Dave Gahan, (Martin L. Gore)]
(Things must change)
(Things must change, change)
(Things must change, change) And smash on the floor
(Things must change, change) Without reading the text know what comes next
Seen it before (Things must change, change)
You're the one I like best, you retain my interest
You're the only one (Things must change, change)
If it wasn't for you, don't know what I'd do
Unpredictable like the sun
Things must... over and over again
All that I'm saying
The game's not worth playing
Over and over again
All that I'm saying
The game's not worth playing
Over and over again
All that I'm saying
The game's not worth playing
Over and over...

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.
