Depeche Mode - Happens All The Time Lyrics






No need to feel ashamed
There's nothing to be gained
When your dreams are in the past

Like stars, we crash and burn
Only to return
Life goes by so fast

So who is left to blame
Nothing's quite the same
We can't live in the past

I'm burning as hot as the sun
And I've only just begun
Love, it fades so fast

Sometimes I forget
All I will regret
When I leave this world behind

Sometimes I'm not sure
What I'm fighting for
It happens all the time

I know I've had enough
Maybe far too much
It's easy to be kind

When it's just me and you
I know what I have to do
I can leave this world behind

No need to feel ashamed
There's nothing to be gained
When your dreams are in the past

Like stars, we crash and burn
Only to return
Times they change so fast

Sometimes I forget
All I will regret
When I leave this world behind

Sometimes I'm not sure
What I'm fighting for
It happens all the time
It happens all the time
It happens all the time

  11. S.... J....

    Dm forever

  12. S.... J....

    Me parece increíble que la gente diga que La Última Moda esta muerta cuando hacen temas de este calibre.

  13. J.... B....

    Classic

  14. A.... ....

    TRON: Uprising AMV brought me here!

  15. K.... Z....

    In my opinion it is the best song from Delta. Sounds like Violator+Ultra.

  16. j.... ....

    Been reading some of the comments, and here are my thoughts. I agree that often the B sides are some of the best tracks, but maybe that is because they have to compromise with the recording label and by putting these songs in the bonus tracks, they know the real fans will appreciate them. Also most, if not all the tracks are initially written by Martin and then worked out between the three of them, so we are getting a piece of what ever their life is, or has been in between albums, e.g., while recording the song Clean, Dave was not clean but trying to get clean. But this is why I've loved them since 1989!, of course, this is just my opinion.

  17. B.... M....

    Ребят скажите где можно такие очки купить?

  18. Q.... ....

    For those of you that cant tell.. this is DM playing with HipHop... and that Martin -- he did it quite well

  19. D.... D....

    right right this is a beautiful progression just gotta be able to listen to it all

  20. A.... S....

    Happy birthday Dave!

  21. R.... ....

    Depeche Mode suck in choosing what the album tracks should be. This is one of the best songs recorded for Delta Machine sessions and yet, it ends on a bonus disc. They should have put this on the album - instead of that crappy Soft Touch that gets on my Raw nerve :-D Imagine this instead of Soft Touch, what a great album Delta Machine could have been, i mean no weak point

    R.... ....

    this is the only song I like from delta machine.

    R.... ....

    I had never heard Newborn....thanks for mentioning it.

    R.... ....

    Good things are not for everyone. It's like throwing diamonds to the pigs. I'm sure the guys knew it and it was on purpose ;)

    R.... ....

    +Mau Gifts Полностью согласна!👍

    R.... ....

    Although Soft Touch should have been subbed out, this was clearly meant to be an album closer. I think the only reason they didn't use it was that they already had a song called "Goodbye" in the mix.

  22. J.... ....

    Huge DM fan, but didn't get the chance to hear this until recently as a B-side. WTF DM?? been said many times below...but you put the best song of the album as a B-side? Makes economic sense...but short term. What, get true fans to buy the extras, and not put out the impressive effort to new ones? Given up/Decided that you are incapable of reaching new audiences? Songs like these make great albums... Remember Violator, DM? The one that got millions (including me, though I now have every previous release of course...) to become huge fans? Showcase your best stuff, guys....

  23. N.... R....

    When I listen to this I imagine it playing to Vampire Hunter D for some reason.

  24. S.... ....

    my favorite track from the album ... even its from the bonus disc ;D heh bonus for big fans - thats real dM style to me.

    S.... ....

    +Saitove Bg "Delta-Machine" was a really solid Album.I hope they do make another one...I saw them play on their Tour,which was good,but not as great as when I saw them Touring for "Songs of Faith and Devotion".Sadly,all my acquaintances,back in 1987,tried to get me to go see them for " Music For The Masses",and,I just didn't 'push it'...for fear of Big-Crowds at that particular concert(a phobia I had).

    S.... ....

    +Philip Archer for sure this was a solid album the best from the trilogy with Ben Hillier (it was Hiller's last one with dM i've heard) .. Yeah I know what you mean the same is with all those cult bands I listen NIN, cure - they become better musicians but the inspiration is not that huge because of many factors

  25. P.... E....

    Argentina loves depeche

  26. V.... S....

    No need to feel ashamed
    There's nothing to be gained
    When your dreams are in the past

    Like stars, we crash and burn
    Only to return
    Life goes by so fast

    So who is left to blame
    Nothing's quite the same
    We can't live in the past

    I'm burning as hot as the sun
    And I've only just begun
    Love, it fades so fast

    Sometimes I forget
    All I will regret
    When I leave this world behind

    Sometimes I'm not sure
    What I'm fighting for
    It happens all the time

    I know I've had enough
    Maybe far too much
    It's easy to be kind

    When it's just me and you
    I know what I have to do
    I can leave this world behind

    No need to feel ashamed
    There's nothing to be gained
    When your dreams are in the past

    Like stars, we crash and burn
    Only to return
    Times they change so fast

    Sometimes I forget
    All I will regret
    When I leave this world behind

    Sometimes I'm not sure
    What I'm fighting for
    It happens all the time
    It happens all the time
    It happens all the time

  27. m.... ....

    Great tune and best song from "Delta Machine" even though it's a "B" side song.

  28. O.... ....

    Najlepsza piosenka z Delta Machine, gdyby wszystkie miały taki klimat ...

  29. T.... ....

    PASS COLLECTOR http://cgi.ebay.fr/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=221447029190&ssPageName=STRK:MESELX:IT&_trksid=p3984.m1555.l2649

  30. j.... ....

    Always and Happens All The Time should have been on the album. Fantastic tracks with a typical depeche feel. No compromise

    j.... ....

    Yeah this was definitely on my go to list when it came out... but since Dave wrote it, it got Bsided... damn, youd think Martin would be satisfied being the already highest paid song writer in the business....maybe there is more to the negotiation but thats why it was bsided.. and you only got it of you bought the xtra edition- which i did of course cause thats where i found it

  31. o.... V....

    No need to feel ashamed 
    There's nothing to be gained 
    When your dreams are in the past.

    Like stars we crush and burn 
    Only to return 
    Life goes by so fast.

    So who is left to play 
    Nothing's quite the same 
    We can't live in the past. 

    I'm burning inside as the sun 
    And I only just begun 
    Love it fades so fast.

    Sometimes I forget all I will regret 
    when I leave this world behind. 
    And sometimes I'm not sure 
    what I'm fighting for 
    It happens all the time. 

    I know I've had enough, maybe far too much 
    It's easy to be kind 
    And when it's just me and you 
    I know what I have to do 
    I know I can leave this world behind 

    No need to feel ashamed 
    When there's nothing to be gained
    When your dreams are in the past.
    Like stars we crush and burn 
    Only to return 
    These lines are change so fast. 

    Sometimes I forget all I will regret 
    when I leave this world behind. 
    And sometimes I'm not sure 
    what I'm fighting for 
    It happens all the time, 
    It happens all the time, 
    It happens all the time.

  32. m.... b....

    los b-sides de depeche !!!

  33. M.... ....

    Speak and Spell is pretty awful. new album in 4 years possibly, that seems to be the trend. Id like to keep anyone in their 20s away from the mixing table.. last thing I want is DM sounding like some banal dance act, someone experienced, with style and substance is needed, well may as well keep of who they've got.

  34. h.... ....

    the grove is acceptable on Delta. it's the lyrics that kill me. just listened to Exciter yesterday and was blown away by the difference in the caliber. hell, Speak and Spell has better lyrics in my elderly opinion. hoping for another album very soon, one with a better producer who can put his foot down. and one mixed by someone in their late 20's not early 50's.

  35. M.... ....

    It took be about 4 goes to really get into the record, but it's so rewarding once you find it's grove. However it is the weakest of this trilogy fr sorts and if it wasn't for the bonus tracks it would indeed be a poor effort (I count 4 main tracks I hate so, the 4 extras breaks even) I dislike all remixes for the most part, I'm not into that side of the band.

  36. h.... ....

    it is easy for this song to be one of the best tracks off Delta. the album is entirely problematic. sorry. it is just a dull outing. not that it will stop me from going to their concerts and dropping serious coin on tix. the fact remains that other people's mixes of Delta bested their own effort. age is a bi@tch.

  37. M.... ....

    Rubbish, this was one of the better tracks from the record. Great stuff.

  38. t.... ....

    love this song

  39. D.... L....

    SPLENDIDA!!!.

  40. j.... d....

    Wtf....this is amazing

  41. J.... F....

    I like this

  42. I.... ....

    my thoughts exactly

  43. h.... ....

    This sounds like a deep track from Paper Monsters, not something DM approved. From a DM'er who owns every green vinyl pressing and knows the liner notes by heart from the 12 prior albums, I apologize if anyone found out about the world's greatest band from this piece of b-side refuse. Seriously DM, what gives?? This blows as hard as it sucks.

  44. D.... ....

    because it just doesn't flow as smooth as the other songs on the a side. and moreover, it uses a main sound from Broken, and as you know, Depeche don't use the same sound more than one time on the album. Not to mention that even Long time lie is a very good track, as well, but cannot fill the album.

  45. i.... ....

    The story keep going on with greatest

  46. d.... e....

    exactly!

  47. N.... P....

    Sans doute un des titres les plus fragiles de la bande de BASILDON. Puissant! Tourmenté! Triste!

  48. D.... T....

    Nowdays DM albums are for mainstream, B-sides are much more creative and are mostly for hardcore depeche fans. This song is just incredible!

  49. M.... ....

    quand j'écoute cette chanson, elle me produit une sensation que je ne saurai décrire.
    c'est étrange à quel point elle me touche...

  50. K.... Z....

    IMO this song is better than all the rest of Delta... Moreover, it's one of the best tracks by DM for 20 years...

  51. C.... ....

    AWESOME !

  52. S.... R....

    delta machine should and could have been a double album in my humble opinion. the four tracks that ended up as extras could have been slotted around a double set, with different vibes on each disc. It's such a shame that some of the best tracks from the sessions, ended up as extras. Also, Dave Gahan's xontributions are getting stronger with each album and year.

  53. J.... G....

    awsum! love his voice! : )

  54. A.... L....

    The album is so good too. One point: I'm really proud to have decided to buy the deluxe edition!

    A.... L....

    I wouldn't have had it any other way!

  55. M.... K....

    I absolutely agree with you

  56. J.... P....

    This is by far the best song on the album, only problem is, IT DIDNT MAKE THE ALBUM!?!? My favorite DM song since Violator.

    I agree with the other comments, the extra tracks or ( B-sides ) are some of the best songs from Delta Machine. "Always" is the Martin Track that should have been on the album, AMAZING!

  57. b.... ....

    Seems to me that Depeche Mode have been leaving their best material as B-Sides for awhile now, making people spend the extra money for a deluxe edition. That's good economics! Lol!

  58. b.... ....

    woooow Amazing song ! one more !!!

  59. l.... ....

    this is the best song of delta machine

  60. g.... ....

    this one is the best

  61. M.... ....

    not exagerate!!!album is masterpiece including these..
