[Verse 1]
One more ride
I can't explain
Our hesitation
We stop and start again
Repeat the process
We repeat the lie
Time and time again
By and by

[Chorus]
This is the last time
I'll say goodbye
The last time
Then we won't have to lie
The last time
Call it what you want
You don't mean a thing to me no more

[Verse 2]
You go your way
I'll go mine
We've walked this line together
For the longest time
We've climbed the mountain
In so many ways
Reach the top
Then slowly fade away

[Chorus]
This is the last time
I'll say goodbye
The last time
Then we won't have to lie
The last time
Call it what you want
You don't mean a thing to me no more

[Bridge]
Our crimes
Will pass us by
Crimes
They all fade and die
All those memories
All our pain
Will slowly disappear
Like the falling rain

[Chorus]
This is the last time
I'll say goodbye
The last time
Then we won't have to lie
The last time
(All those memories, all our pain)
This is the last time
(All those memories, all our pain)
The last time

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.
