[Verse 1]
Here is a song from the wrong side of town
Where I'm bound to the ground by the loneliest sound
That pounds from within and is pinning me down

[Verse 2]
Here is a page from the emptiest stage
A cage or the heaviest cross ever made
A gauge of the deadliest trap ever laid

[Chorus]
And I thank you for bringing me here
For showing me home, for singing these tears
Finally, I've found that I belong here

[Verse 3]
The heat and the sickliest sweet-smelling sheets
That cling to the backs of my knees and my feet
Well, I'm drowning in time to a desperate beat

[Chorus]
And I thank you for bringing me here
For showing me home, for singing these tears
Finally, I've found that I belong

[Bridge]
Feels like home
I should have known
From my first breath

[Verse 4]
God, send the only true friend I call mine
And pretend that I'll make amends the next time
Befriend the glorious end of the line

[Chorus]
And I thank you for bringing me here
For showing me home, for singing these tears
Finally, I've found that I belong here

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.
