Girl of sixteen, whole life ahead of her
Slashed her wrists, bored with life
Didn?t succeed, thank the lord
For small mercies
Fighting back the tears, mother reads the note again
Sixteen candles burn in her mind
She takes the blame, it?s always the same
She goes down on her knees and prays
I don?t want to start any blasphemous rumours
But I think that god?s got a sick sense of humor
And when I die I expect to find him laughing
Girl of eighteen, fell in love with everything
Found new life in jesus christ
Hit by a car, ended up
On a life support machine
Summer?s day, as she passed away
Birds were singing in the summer sky
Then came the rain, and once again
A tear fell from her mother?s eye
I don?t want to start any blasphemous rumours
But I think that god?s got a sick sense of humor
And when I die I expect to find him laughing
I want somebody to share
Share the rest of my life
Share my innermost thoughts
Know my intimate details
Someone who?ll stand by my side
And give me support
And in return
She?ll get my support
She will listen to me
When I want to speak
About the world we live in
And life in general
Though my views may be wrong
They may even be perverted
She?ll hear me out
And won?t easily be converted
To my way of thinking
In fact she?ll often disagree
But at the end of it all
She will understand me
Aaaahhhhh....
I want somebody who cares
For me passionately
With every thought and
With every breath
Someone who?ll help me see things
In a different light
All the things I detest
I will almost like
I don?t want to be tied
To anyone?s strings
I?m carefully trying to steer clear of
Those things
But when I?m asleep
I want somebody
Who will put their arms around me
And kiss me tenderly
Though things like this
Make me sick
In a case like this
I?ll get away with it
Aaaahhhhh....
I want somebody to share
Share the rest of my life
Share my innermost thoughts
Know my intimate details
Someone who'll stand by my side
And give me support
And in return
She'll get my support
She will listen to me
When I want to speak
About the world we live in
And life in general
Though my views may be wrong
They may even be perverted
She'll hear me out
And won't easily be converted
To my way of thinking
In fact she'll often disagree
But at the end of it all
She will understand me

One of the best songs ever in my view. Can't wait to see them live in April.
I'm going to watch them for the first time feb, 8th at the Pavilhão Atlantico, here in Lisbon. I'm really hoping for an awsome concert...only 5 days to go!
JUGGCASH - The best niche specific program just OPENED.
----> Grab it while its still FRESH <-----
I have been listening to this band since 1979. I have seen them several times in concert which by many standards is not a lot. I have gotten back stage passes to meet them 3 times and they are all really great people really quite....Martin Gore was so cute I just wanted to grab him and hug the shit out of him.....I also found the more destructive David was the more I was attracted to him. Happy now he has his shit together ..... I love them they are my all time favourite band despite my husband saying he wants to slit his wrists everytime I play them......
The best Concert they did was at the SkyDome. They had all these white panel curtains hanging from the ceiling and with all the lights it looked like Lightning it was truly awesome.....
Anyone going to see them at Coachella? I cant wait, they put on the greatest show, its really like popping in one of their greatest hits CDs. They sound THAT GOOD live!
