La malattia dei Depeche

Oggi andiamo avanti qualche anno dal 1975 e arriviamo al 1985. Esce la raccolta "The Singles 81-85" dei Depeche Mode che contiene l'inedito "Shake the disease" uscito come primo singolo dell'album. Io ho scoperto questa canzone solo nel 1989 quando uscì "101" il primo album live dei Depeche che io comprai in vinile. Grazie, come sempre, a Radio Capital l'ho potuta riascoltare in questi giorni e oggi la faccio ascoltare anche a voi. A domani!

Shake the disease (Depeche Mode)

I'm not going down on my knees,
Begging you to adore me
Can't you see it's misery
And torture for me
When I'm misunderstood
Try as hard as you can, I've tried as hard as I could
To make you see
How important it is for me

Here is a plea
From my heart to you
Nobody knows me
As well as you do
You know how hard it is for me
To shake the disease
That takes hold of my tongue
In situations like these

Understand me
Some people have to be
Permanently together
Lovers devoted to
Each other forever
Now I've got things to do
And I've said before that I know you have too
When I'm not there
In spirit I'll be there

Here is a plea
From my heart to you
Nobody knows me
As well as you do
You know how hard it is for me
To shake the disease
That takes hold of my tongue
In situations like these

Understand me
