Behind the Wheel
Depeche Mode Lyrics

My little girl, drive anywhere
Do what you want
I don't care
Tonight I'm in the hands of fate
I hand myself over on a plate
Now

Oh, little girl, there are times when I feel
I'd rather not be the one behind the wheel
Come, pull my strings

Watch me move, I do anything
Please

Sweet little girl, I prefer
You behind the wheel and me the passenger
Drive, I'm yours to keep
Do what you want, I'm going cheap
Tonight

You're behind the wheel tonight
You're behind the wheel tonight
You're behind the wheel tonight
You're behind the wheel tonight
You're behind the wheel tonight

Always and forever, thank you to Great Britain and the British people whose creativity, since the 1960s, has given the rest of the World hundreds of unique bands such as the Depeche Mode and music of unparalleled beauty, quirkiness and atmosphere. What would our lives have been without British bands? Thank you from Sicily.

sometimes, even DM fans like myself, dont listen to them for a period of time and when we hear them back again, we're amazed at how good these guys were and still are. Amazed. They transport you to their world with only a few notes, you're instantly there. Isnt that the definition of a drug? I guess they're a musical drug, but a drug that makes you stronger

typically speaking, entire albums full of HEAVY synthesizers, dont do well over the course of time because its not an instrument thats known to move the heart and soul.....and then, there's Depeche Mode.

Synth is an instrument to move the heart and soul. In fact it's the instrument that gets most into my soul. You're just not into synth enough to feel it.

That's because they write actual songs and use synthesizers as their mode (ha!) of communication. Their songs translate very easy and very well to a regular guitar/bass/drums setup...or even just regular acoustic guitar.

I'm happy to see that I'm not the only one that has the same feeling towards their music. It has an effect that you can't describe and when you think you have a set feeling you still feel confused, happy, sad and sexually aroused but with a scared/ sad feeling. Funny how a band has those effect on you. But will Never stop hearing them. I will love them till I die!

Depeche Mode is such a great band. What started as an electric pop band really evolved in one of the great rock bands of the last decades. And my God yes what a singular and great voice.
I would love your input on the first video of my first album. It got the attention of one of my heroes Joe Bouchard (ex bass player founding members of BÖC) but returns from people who likes same music is always the best.
