you, Could have been you)
Should have been you (Should have been you)
Should have been you (Would have been you)
(Should have been you)
If it hadn't been me
It seems so obvious to you
You're feeling what I am feeling too
The final chapter in the contract expires soon
We've come to the end
Thank God I'm not the same as you
You always know exactly what to do
It's who I am, it's not like you
We've come to the end
Did I disappoint you
I wanted to believe it's true
The book of love was not enough
To see us through
The problem
Should have been you (Should have been you)
Should have been you (Could have been you)
Should have been you (Would have been you)
(Should have been you, Could have been you)
If it hadn't been me
(Would have been you, Could have been you)
Should have been you (Should have been you)
Should have been you (Would have been you)
(Should have been you)
If it hadn't been me
My Little Universe

My Little Universe
Is expanding
Slowly
And those who know me
Say I'm growing every day
Beautiful emptiness
Surrounds me
I take small steps
I'm making progress
In a non-specific way
Here I am king
I decide everything
I let no-one in
No-one
No-one
No-one
Limited consciousness
Preserves me
It protects me
And just connects enough
To keep the wolves at bay
My Little Universe
Is expanding
Slowly
And those who know me
Say I'm growing every day
Here I am king
I decide everything
I let no-one in
No-one
No-one
No-one
Slow
Vocalista principal: Dave Gahan
Escrita por: Martin L. Gore
Slow, slow
As slow as you can go
So I can feel all I want to know
Slow, slow
I'll go with your flow
Let the world keep its carnival pace
I prefer to look into your beautiful face
What a waste
Let the stars continue to fly by
I don't have one desire to understand why
I don't try
Slow, slow
As slow as you can go
I want my senses to overflow
Slow, slow
And doesn't it show
I don't need a race in my bed
When speed's in my heart
And speed's in my head instead
It's tempting for fools to rush in
When something's so good
Why should we rush a thing
It's a sin
Slow, slow
As slow as you can go
That's how I like it
I like it
I don't need a race in my bed
When speed's in my heart
And speed's in my head instead
Slow, slow
As slow as you can go
That's how I like it
I like it
Broken
Vocalista principal: Dave Gahan
Escrita por: Dave Gahan, Kurt Uenala
If you want control
Without any pain
How long will you suffer
How long you reign
You see the friend that I need
Cannot be found
Replaced by another
Wearing his crown
There's a place where I go
Without any sound
Only you can reach me
Only you're allowed
Then you're so far away
You're so far from here
Do you remember
A time without tears
When you're falling I will catch you
You don't have to fall that far
You can make it, I will be there
You were broken from the start
When you were a child
You'd dream all day long
You'd dream of the future
And get lost in your songs
Now that time is gone
It's lost for you now
Words long forgotten
Forgotten somehow
When you're falling I will catch you
You don't have to fall that far
You can make, it I will be there
You were broken from the start
The Child Inside
Vocalista principal: Martin L. Gore
Escrita por: Martin L. Gore
There is darkness and death in your eyes
What have you got buried inside
The shallow grave in your soul
The ghosts there have taken control
You really should have dug a little deeper there
Body parts are starting to appear and scare
The child inside away
Each tear that flows down your face
Trickles then picks up the pace
And turns to a river inside
A river that will not subside
I can hear that dreadful overflowing sound
And watching from afar I see a child is drowned
The child inside your heart
I can see you drifting away
Heading for the light
I can see you drifting
