It’s a question of lust
It’s a question of trust
It’s a question of not letting
What we’ve built up
Crumble to dust
It is all of these things and more
That keep us together

Depeche Mode很容易和“冷”这个字联系起来，冷冰冰的纯电子音乐，冷冷的唱腔，冷僻的歌词，似乎特别适合目前这个季节来听。。。自从这群来自英伦南部Essex的小家伙们在80年凑在一起玩开始，他们凭着这份冷酷成了一个传奇和神话，是少数在电子乐中达到内涵和表现真正大师级的统一的乐队，而这些都是在短短的几年中就达成了。

这首”A Question Of Lust”是乐队1990年专辑《Black Celebration》中的一首单曲(那张专辑中还有另外一首热门单曲叫”A Question Of Time”，嘿嘿)，是很能体现Martin Gore词曲和唱腔特点的一首，很久以前在我的一篇文字中把Martin列为”最美的歌声之一”，我还称之为“某些时候具有神性”——现在我仍然这么认为。

A Question Of Lust

by Depeche Mode

Fragile
Like a baby in your arms
Be gentle with me
I’d never willingly
Do you harm

Apologies
Are all you seem to get from me
But just like a child
You make me smile
When you care for me
And you know

It’s a question of lust
It’s a question of trust
It’s a question of not letting
What we’ve built up
Crumble to dust
It is all of these things and more
That keep us together

Independence
Is still important for us though (we realise)
It’s easy to make
The stupid mistake
Of letting go (do you know what I mean)

My weaknesses
You know each and every one (it frightens me)
But I need to drink
More than you seem to think
Before I’m anyone’s
And you know

It’s a question of lust
It’s a question of trust
It’s a question of not letting
What we’ve built up
Crumble to dust
It is all of these things and more
That keep us together

Kiss me goodbye
When I’m on my own
But you know that i’d
Rather be home

It’s a question of lust
