Píseň: I Sometimes Wish I Was Dead

Interpret:
Depeche Mode
Album:
Speak & Spell
New sound
all around
you can hear it too
getting hot
never stop
just for me and you.
Playing my radio 
and saying that you have to go.


New day
turn away
wipe away the tear
new night
feel alright
knowing that you're here
dancing with you all the time
and don't you think that it's a crime.


Back street
never meet
never say goodbye
I know where you've been
but I don't know why
you say that it's from above
then I say this is modern love.
