[Verse 1: Dave Gahan]
The way you move has got me yearning
The way you move has left me burning

[Pre-Chorus 1: Dave Gahan]
I know you know what you're doing to me
I know my hands will never be free
I know what it's like to be in chains

[Verse 2: Dave Gahan]
The way you move is meant to haunt me
The way you move to tempt and taunt me

[Pre-Chorus 2: Dave Gahan]
I know you knew on the day you were born
I know somehow I should've been warned
I know I walk every midnight to dawn in chains

[Interlude]

[Chorus: Dave Gahan, (Martin L. Gore)]
(In chains) I'm in chains
(In chains) I'm in chains

[Verse 3: Dave Gahan]
The way you move is mesmerizing
The way you move is hypnotizing

[Pre-Chorus 3: Dave Gahan]
I know I crumble when you are around
Stutter, mumble, a pitiful sound
Stagger, stumble, shackled and bound in chains

[Chorus: Dave Gahan, (Martin L. Gore)]
(In chains) I'm in chains
(In chains) I'm in chains
(In chains) I'm in chains
(In chains) I'm in chains
(In chains)

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.
