[Intro: Dave Gahan]
Spreading like a cancer
Leave in silence
Spreading like a cancer
Spreading like a cancer
Spreading like a cancer
Spreading like a cancer
Spreading like a cancer
Spreading like a cancer

[Chorus: Dave Gahan]
What can I say?
Anymore
What can I say?
I'm heading for the door

[Interlude: Dave Gahan & Martin L. Gore]
Spreading like a cancer
Spreading like a cancer
Spreading like a cancer
Leave in silence
Spreading likе a cancer

[Verse 1: Dave Gahan]
I've told myself so many timеs before
But this time I think I mean it for sure
We have reached a full stop
Nothing's going to save us from the big drop

[Chorus: Dave Gahan]
What can I say?
Anymore
What can I say?
I'm heading for the door

[Coda: Dave Gahan]
Leave in silence
Leave in silence
What can I say?
What can I say?
Spreading like a cancer
Leave in silence
Spreading like a cancer
Spreading like a cancer

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.
