Speak and Spell and Catching Up with Depeche Mode

(Written by Vince Clarke)

I stand self stepping on the Shame Street

And I watched that man too strange

Think you only know me when you turn on the light

Now the room is leave with danger

Complicating-circulating

New Life, New Life

Operating-generating

New Life, New Life



Transition to another place

So the time will pass more slowly

Each who is fussed

And the shadow's red light

The bell might seen now showy

Complicating-circulating

New Life, New Life

Operating-generating

New Life, New Life



This place is hidden in the outer side

And the roaches leave to nowhere

The stranger in the door is the same as before

So the question answers nowhere

Complicating-circulating

New Life, New Life

Operating-generating

New Life, New Life



I stand self stepping on the Shame Street

And I watched that man too strange

Think you only know me when you turn on the light

Now the room is leave with danger

Complicating-circulating

New Life, New Life

Operating-generating

New Life, New Life
