Lyrics for Song: A Photograph Of You
Lyrics for Album: A Broken Frame [1982]
What good is a photograph of you?
Everytime I look at it,
It makes me feel blue!
What use is a souvenir
Of something we once had
When all it ever does is
Make me feel bad!
I wish I could tear it up,
But then again I haven't the guts!
I wish I could throw it on the fire,
I wish I could,
But to say I would,
I'd be a liar!
What good is a colour print
Of a little baby doll?
When just one little glance
Is enough to make me feel dull!
I hoped I would missplace it,
But then I take such a good care of it.
I wish I could disappear,
I say I wish,
But then I relish
It being here!
What good is a photograph of you?
Everytime I look at it,
It makes me feel blue.
Everytime I look at it,
It makes me feel blue.
Feel blue

A Photograph Of You
Released in 1982 on the album A Broken Frame, "A Photograph Of You" stands as a defining track in Depeche Mode's early synth-pop evolution. The song captures the band's signature blend of melancholic vocals and driving electronic rhythms that would characterize their subsequent work. Written by Martin Gore, it explores themes of memory and longing, utilizing the synthesizer technology of the early 80s to create an atmospheric soundscape. As one of the group's most enduring singles, it helped establish their reputation for emotional depth within the genre. The recording remains a staple of their discography, often cited as a prime example of the band's transition from new wave to a more polished electronic sound. |
