Depeche Mode - The Love Thieves Lyrics
Oh the tears that you weep
For the poor tortured souls
Who fall at your feet
With all their love begging bowls
All the clerks and the tailors
All good at their trades
But they'll always be failures
Alms for the poor
For the wretched disciples
And the love that they swore
With their hearts on the bible
Beseeching the honour
To sit at your table
And feast on your holiness
Love needs its martyrs
Needs its sacrifices
They live for your beauty
And pay for their vices
Love will be the death of
My lonely soul brothers
But their spirits shall live on in
The hearts of all lovers
You're holding court
With your lips and your smile
Your body's a halo
Their minds are on trial
Sure as adam is eve
Sure as Jonah turned whaler
They're crooked love thieves
And you are their jailor
Love needs its martyrs
Needs its sacrifices
They live for your beauty
And pay for their vices
Love will be the death of
My lonely soul brothers
But their spirit shall live on in
The hearts of all lovers

Depeche Mode The Love Thieves Comments
Mi canción favorita.
brilliant, dark and beautiful
This song should be played live
Angenehmer Song!
Good song😍la he escuchado desde pequeño. Una pieza musical.
Literally a masterpiece.
✳️🔛✴️
The best song with Home of Depeche Mode
I love this amazing song!
The very best secret song belongs to the DM lovers, unknown to the regular crowd. ULTRA album is a special gift for the DM'ers...
ne güzel bir şarkısın sen öyle
I love Depeche Mode! 😊
last part of this song...................
4:47-6:35 always sends chills down my spine, in a good way that is.
best song of the album
4:47 eargasm
Play this song every day, or I will fight you.
Well I'm Talking About It And Want This Official Video !!!!!!
Compared to the bombast of, say, MFTM...this song and so much of U is soooo subtle. So many electronic squiggly things moving in- out - away. I felt Wilder leaving was doom for DM- but this album is masterful in using un-heard of synth sounds.
Thanks.forever.
You wouldnt beloeve it sometimes it helps to get out of the bed in cold St.Petersburg thanks DM and UK
The last of good albums of dm.... I'm waiting for another good album I could come back after years. It stops at 1998...
lol I understand their recent albums are not as solid as their old ones, but what about Playing The Angel? That album is really strong.
Love needs its martyrs, needs its sacrifices.
4:47 that guitar riff is just haunting
Hola Yamil :)
How melodic and füll of rythm!!
Это же просто волшебно!
Very underrated song
A piece of Heaven on this planet
👍😊...
Remember when this brilliant album came out. It had a good and sweet dark shiny 80's and 90's mixed perfume
La femme Nikita brought me here.
HUGE DM
💗🎸🎵🎼Exelente!!
I was a raging crackhead, 21 years old in 1997, listened to this over and over while wondering if I would survive. Been clean 20 years, thank you Dave.
👍💜
So underground song of Depeche Mode i love it
love this song
2019💓💓💓💓💓
This is one song that changed my life. This is beautiful music.
Люблю этот альбом понимашь
It takes me to a dimension far far from here!
My all time favourite band
La femue Nikita brought me here
I first heard this song on Le Femme Nikita and fell in love with it.
I love this song and everyone has covered my feelings for this song in the comments. However, I have to say that I love the drum sequence in this song so much. So unique and understated. It's perfect for the mood of the song.
precious jewel
The most sexual song of dm
Ultra is their best Album. But it took some time until I figured this out.
It's my favorite album for sure.
nostalgia, real art
суперр!
"La femue nikita" brought me here. Great song and album💙💜
The guitar solo at the end is so bizarre and surreal sounding. Very odd sounding for a DM tune. It's wonderful though. Love the experimental style throughout this whole album.
this. i DIG this.
Masterpiece.
Favourite song from ultra.
Si ya no estaba MR. ALAN WILDER...pero escogieron al mejor productor Tim Simenon
This álbum if not the best it is a true gem.
Time shows the real value of their music.
How many incredible songs have they?
50?
This was the soundtrack for the first and until this day the biggest disappointment of my life. This helped me to understand and accept the unchangeable a little bit.
So beautiful, the feels.
DM forever!!!
I asked you not to diss me, love thief
Only us, the chosen people will find this place of bliss and charm. There are not billions of views here because we are special. Love DM
Smilthy always love devotee to dm
Amen, I couldn't have said it better!
True that!
So professional
It was love at first hearing. 1 of my fav songs. EVER
perfect
This is my fav song to listen to while high
fucking love this song
this is paradise
Love this ! one of my fav
This song is absolutely genius.
This is a song that will be part of your past...a moment years ago.it was playing whilst your life was full
Depeche Mode's = Gustavo Ceratis' Bocanada Album = Cafe del Mar (99)... ¡Fractal Orgasm!
This song means so much to me.
Though my darkest days this beautiful song was always there.
Que buen par de discos!
So beautiful, what I need tonight
The intro, especially first 30 s, is so good
Outstanding lyrics.
Ultra is an album, released after hardest time in DM history. This song is masterpiece, Martin Gore is pure genius like songwriter and Dave is the best baritone in the plannet
Ultra kicks so much ass.
Ultra was an amazing album. Their darkest hour became one of their masterpieces. So many great songs like this song, Its no good, Useless, Home, Sister of Night, Barrel of a gun. There is not one bad song on that album. No filler, all good songs..
scott80ca agreeed!
I love this song
Man i miss le femme nikita. Never will get the create for being the inspiration for 24
A song 2 make love!!
One of my favorite songs ever...how come no one, professional or otherwise, does a cover of it? Can anyone suggest another song with this same kind of "feel", by DM or anyone?
Insight , Freestate , The Bottom Line and generally all songs out of this album
love this álbum and specially love this song
An Experience...
This is only my second favorite Depeche song. Followed by a song on the SAME record called "Home". Ultra is my absolute fav DM record.
John Rappaport me too
Is it possible for Depeche Mode to be this good again?
michael wrote this song when he was missing nikita
could have sworn this was Tears For Fears
Depeche seam to for get about this in their live performances a must play for the band on the new 2017 spirit tour PLEASE🙏
Kicking opiates. Body, mind and soul aches. This songs sooths some of the pain.
lovely sung Dave ;) We`re so happy you stayed between us ;)

Magnifiscent!
Es tan depresivo y adictivo!!! Y con ese solo final.... Completan una canción casi perfecta!!!
Absolutely beautiful song.
Fans, please don't hate me if I tell you that Ultra is the best record they ever made. Even, better than Violator and MFTM.
IS THE BEST, then violator
@Silvaria928 SOFAD NO is overrated, u mean "Songs of Faith and devotion " i think they repeat but worst violator i reall dont like it and i m 4 a fan since i was 11 i saw and listened to everything .- https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RJUYUDwYdxw&t=741s
My favourite 2 depeche mode albums are ultra and playing the Angel. And close behind is Exciter.
Actually i really liked bomb the bass team which mixed and mastered the album
that is so true
