![]() The Singles (1985) [ larger cover art ] |
My little girl
Drive anywhere
Do what you want
I don't care
Tonight
I'm in the hands of fate
I hand myself
Over on a plate
Now
Oh little girl
There are times when I feel
I rather not be
The one behind the wheel
Come
Pull my strings
Watch me move
I do anything
Please
Sweet little girl
I prefer
You behind the wheel
And me the passenger
Drive
I'm yours to keep
Do what you want
I'm going cheap
Tonight
You're behind the wheel, tonight
Drive anywhere
Do what you want
I don't care
Tonight
I'm in the hands of fate
I hand myself
Over on a plate
Now
Oh little girl
There are times when I feel
I rather not be
The one behind the wheel
Come
Pull my strings
Watch me move
I do anything
Please
Sweet little girl
I prefer
You behind the wheel
And me the passenger
Drive
I'm yours to keep
Do what you want
I'm going cheap
Tonight
You're behind the wheel, tonight

| vanmas (Leiden, Netherlands) | Posted: Feb 08, 2013 - 01:19 Nice surprice... my youth... very 80's like beat. Still like this although it's not really quality music in my opinion... |

I should see if I can find it somewhere and watch it again. |
| hidey (NZ) | Posted: Nov 05, 2012 - 22:45 Hmmm... It isn't a question of hate - but Depeche Mode? You can't do anything with them. |

| spigolli (Peachtree City, GA, USA) | Posted: May 19, 2010 - 10:36 It really grinds the gears downshifting to Depeche Mode from Swell Season. |

Maybe we just didn't experience that "the-popular-guys-snub-us" thing enough back in high school to understand the appeal. I thought black clothes and sun avoidance were required in all urban Oregon schools circa 1982. The Cure Protocol, I think it was called. Enforced until the Smells like Teen Spirit reform of '91 |

| dewhead (Big Orange Country) | Posted: Feb 13, 2010 - 11:52 This reminds me of the acronym KMFDM. Don't know if that was an urban legend or not but right now it sounds like a good idea. |

I just hope they put on a great show so that you get your money's worth. Cheaper than many concerts in the US, if my conversion is correct ($87.51). |
