Depeche Mode - The Bottom Line Lyrics






Like a cat
Dragged in from the rain
Who goes straight back out
To do it all over again
I'll be back for more
It's something
That is out of our hands
Something we will never understand
It's a hidden law
The apple falls
Destiny calls
I follow you

Like a pawn
On the eternal board
Who's never quite sure
What he's moved towards
I walk blindly on
And heaven is in front of me
Your heaven beckons me enticingly
When I arrive
It's gone
The river flows
The wise man knows
I follow you

I'm yearning
I'm burning
I feel love's wheels turning

Like a moth on love's bright light
I will get burned
each and every night
I'm dying to(o)
The sun will shine
The bottom line
I follow you

  2. C.... O....

    Thank you!

    Martin never sounded better than on Ultra. He's at the peak of his powers here. Underrated disc. The ultimate dark night/absinthe chill album.

  4. T.... H....

    The great pedal steel guitar played by B.J. Cole makes this song even more great.

  5. A.... G....

    I'm dying to 😉

  11. Y.... I....

    Magnifique !!!

  12. I.... n....

    For me Ultra is one of the best album of Depeche Mode, but I'm sorry to say it, I think Martin's voice isn't so good as in Ultra. But He always will be the biggest music genious in the world, but when it comes about voices, I prefer Dave's voice. Depeche Mode 4 ever the best ❤

  13. K.... F....

    1997 was,by far,one of the WORSE years in my life. ULTRA helped through it. A LOT. Thanks guys.

    K.... F....

    Same here.....

    K.... F....

    I understand you. The same happened to me...

  14. K.... H....

    A f.....g magnifico song.

  15. s.... f....

    think of Kathleen

  16. C.... C....

    9 people have reached the bottom line.

  17. J.... Z....

    ❤👌

  18. A.... S....

    Depeche Mode is my favourite band and Martin Gore is something special. Ultra is very good album and this song is one of the best in it

  19. N.... ....

    "Like a cat dragged in from the rain"...a truly memorable line...It starts weirdly and then there's that...

  20. E.... S....

    RIP Jaki Liebezeit

  21. L.... A....

    One of the best song all time

  22. A.... S....

    i love this song <3

  25. E.... V....

    The best... martin makes me melt.... 'the sun will shine, i follow u' *******

  26. C.... M....

    Ultra is one of the best albums the band has released.

    C.... M....

    Carlos M For sure the best post-Alan album

    C.... M....

    KJ - Cynical and demeaning response to a sincere opinion. Apart from the earlier stuff, Ultra was a progression in style and vocal performance for Dave. So yes, I also believe one the best albums DM has released

    C.... M....

    guys, don't argue, it's preferential of course, all of them are inspiring

    C.... M....

    Ultra is one of the best albums of 90s.

  27. m.... i....

    all there music resembles who the best is in the bisness of makeing music

  28. T.... D....

    Best 😀😀😀

    Vince Clarke leaving Depeche is the best thing that ever happened to them. <3 Martin!

    d.... ....

    and thats true :)

    d.... ....

    I guess you could 'get enough', of Vince Clark.

    d.... ....

    ALAN WILDER IS DEPECHE MODE...THE BEST

  31. d.... ....

    Martin is a great singer,great artist. Love him so much.

  32. n.... g....

    i love this track....and insight

    n.... g....

    You gotta give love, give love, give love, You gotta give love... ♫♪

  33. t.... b....

    una apoteósica canción.

  34. J.... Z....

    Nice :)

    J.... Z....

    the bottom dream

  35. L.... O....

    I miiss ya 1997. Thank you Depeche.

  36. Z.... ....

    All songs of Depeche Mode are the best Depeche Mode songs ever.

  37. D.... P....

    bellissima :))))

  38. R.... D....

    Aproape ca era s-o uit!

  39. D.... S....

    This song definitely was written for my life.

  40. C.... W....

    I prefer the dark depeche mode as opposed to the cheery earlier sound.bravo!

  41. D.... ....

    Ultra is criminally underrated. IMO, one of DM's top 3 albums.

    D.... ....

    What does that even mean??? you can leave this very comment on any band's any album, and get the same response from gullible fans. It has nothing to do with DM. This kind of shit is flooding Youtube. The new LOW.

    D.... ....

    I mean, he's not wrong.

    D.... ....

    For me is quite impossible to make a top list beacuse any album of DM has a different "color". For a moment I can prefer an album and the day after I may prefer another one.

  42. L.... N....

    I began listening to DM cause of this song, back in 1997...

    L.... N....

    Lale Nbg Konačno neki Srbin. 💪😁

  43. P.... R....

    Is this funeral song or love song or both of them?

  44. J.... ....

    Ultra is probably the most overlooked Depeche Mode album. There wasn't a huge single that came from it, but it was Depeche Mode at their most raw, emotional, and imo their greatest.

  45. u.... ....

    The most unknown underrated songs ever. Probably the saddest most beautiful song in the universe

  46. V.... G....

    What a beautiful voice Martin, God bless you!

  47. L.... ....

    Jaki Liebezeit on drums!

  48. P.... R....

    Is it a love song or funeral song or both?

  49. K.... ....

    their best album since Violator
    awesome track
    i love DM

  50. S.... B....

    Me too Brutha it comforted me. It's all I had.

  51. d.... ....

    this song is the story of my life
    was with this girl she kept hurting me but i loved her so i always returned to her
    now i finally stoped returning but god with all she did to me i still love and miss her
    i wish i could see the heaven in front of me as well.

  52. K.... B....

    one of my favorite songs... can listen endlessly..best band ever..love you, guys! take care!

  53. F.... ....

    Just stunning!

  54. h.... ....

    reminds me of most painful time of my life, actually the whole ultra accompanied me trough that, and it was not a physical pain. stil love it, though

  55. n.... h....

    when i arive its gone

  56. A.... Q....

    my favorite

  57. P.... f....

    There's not much in this world I wouldn't give to be able to sing like this.

  58. j.... ....

    Jaki Liebezeit

  59. B.... M....

    I think this is by far my favorite song by Depeche Mode and one of the best i ever heard in my whole life.

  60. �.... F....

    Awesome !

  61. D.... ....

    I fall love with You.....

  62. K.... H....

    verrry hypnotic. such a beautiful song.

  63. A.... O....

    that is the exact word i would use to describe his voice and this song... hypnotic.

  64. A.... O....

    yes, it's one of my favorites too. very powerful. some parts of it sound very almost hypnotic...

  65. l.... ....

    a very good song indeed...

  66. s.... ....

    tråkig låt

  67. p.... ....

  72. 1.... ....

  73. M.... F....

    but its still an amazing song

  74. A.... O....

    this song gives me goosebumps... right now.

  75. M.... F....

    something in my heart aches whenever i hear this song. Martin's voice is like no other, gorgeous and haunting. This is my all time favorite song.

  76. A.... O....

    "ULtra" has got to be one of their most under appreciated albums. I didn't appreciate it for a long time. Now I LOVE IT!

  77. P.... P....

    Zgadzam się

  78. h.... ....

    hipnotic ... the voice is just hipnotic @-)

  79. U.... ....

    Thanks for posting this. A wonderful song. Interestingly, several of the best songs from this album were not released as singles, including this one. Not "radio-friendly" enough, I guess.

  80. L.... O....

    powerful lyrics...very powerful.

  81. b.... ....

    and the intro is hauntingly beautiful

  82. b.... ....

    i am unable to articulate how beautiful this song is
