Strangelove

O meu pequeno universo acústico de hoje contém vários álbuns de Depeche Mode. Agora que o escritório esvaziou, canto alegremente uma das melhores músicas de sempre da banda. Adoro este ritmo dançável, o som electrónico/industrial, a letra. «I'll make your heart smile» é uma daquelas declarações que esmagam. Mesmo. Porque até os músculos sorriem, se devidamente estimulados.

Strangelove.
There'll be times
When my crimes
Will seem almost unforgivable
I give in to sin
Because you have to make this life liveable
But when you think I've had enough
From your sea of love
I'll take more than another riverfull
Yes, and I'll make it all worthwhile
I'll make your heart smile

Strangelove
Strange highs and strange lows
Strangelove
That's how my love goes
Strangelove
Will you give it to me
Will you take the pain
I will give to you
Again and again
And will you return it

There'll be days
When I'll stray
I may appear to be
Constantly out of reach
I give in to sin
Because I like to practice what I preach
I'm not trying to say
I'll have it all my way
I'm always willing to learn
When you've got something to teach
And I'll make it all worthwhile
I'll make your heart smile

Pain will you return it
I'll say it again -- pain
Pain will you return it
I'll say it again -- pain
