'80s music video: "Shake The Disease" by Depeche Mode

[a_whisper_heard]

I'm back to going though old DVR'd episodes of VH1 Classic's "120 Minutes" and came across some Depeche Mode. I have tended to like the singles I've heard and I used to own one of their albums ("Exciter"). Unfortunately, the lead singer resembles someone I despise from my personal life (who I haven't dealt with in over 9 years, thank goodness!), so watching some of their music videos raises my blood pressure.

As is usually the case, I can't vouch for the accuracy of the lyrics. (I just search, copy & paste!)



"Shake The Disease" by 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
