Depeche Mode



Some Great Reward



Blasphemous Rumours





Girl of 16







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







16 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 humour







And when I die







I expect to find Him laughing























Girl of 18







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
