Everything Counts (Unofficial Business Mix)Depeche Mode

Songwriter: Martin L. Gore

Producer: Depeche Mode Daniel Miller

[Verse 1: Dave Gahan]
The handshake seals the contract
From the contract, there's no turning back
The turning point of a career
In Korea being insincere
The holiday was fun-packed
The contract still intact

[Chorus: Dave Gahan]
It's a competitive world

[Verse 2: Dave Gahan]
The graph on the wall
Tells the story of it all
Picture it now, see just how
The lies and deceit gained a little more power
Confidence taken in
By a suntan and a grin

[Interlude]

[Chorus 1: Dave Gahan, (Martin L. Gore)]
It's a competitive world
(Everything counts in large amounts)
(Everything counts in large amounts)

[Interlude]

[Refrain: Martin L. Gore]
Everything counts in large amounts
Everything counts in large amounts
Everything counts in large amounts
Everything counts in large amounts

[Refrain: Martin L. Gore]
Everything counts in large amounts
Everything counts in large amounts

[Chorus 2: Martin L. Gore]
The grabbing hands grab all they can
Everything counts in large amounts
Everything counts in large amounts

[Interlude]

[Outro: Martin L. Gore]
Everything, everything, everything, everything, everything, everything
Everything counts

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.
