Black Celebration (Live) [Paris 10/10/01]

[Intro: Dave Gahan]
"Thank you!"
"You are an great audience, thank you very much."
"We've got a couple of last songs for you!"
"Ah! Check them out!"
"Eh."

[Chorus: Dave Gahan]
Let's have a black celebration
Black celebration
Tonight

[Post-Chorus: Dave Gahan (Martin L. Gore)]
To celebrate the fact
That we've seen the back
Of another black (Day)

[Verse 1: Dave Gahan]
I look to you, how you carry on
When all hope is gone, can't you see?
Your optimistic eyes seem like paradise
To someone like me

[Pre-Chorus 1: Dave Gahan]
I want to take you in my arms
Forgetting all I couldn't do today

[Chorus: Martin L. Gore & Dave Gahan]
Black celebration "Sing it, come on!"
Black celebration
Tonight

[Post-Chorus: Dave Gahan & Martin L. Gore]
To celebrate the fact
That we've seen the back
Of another black day

[Interlude: Dave Gahan]
"Yeah!"
"Eh!"

[Verse 2: Dave Gahan]
I look to you and your strong belief
Me, I want relief tonight
Consolation, I want so much
Want to feel your touch tonight

[Pre-Chorus 2: Dave Gahan]
Take me in your arms
Forgetting all you couldn't do today

[Chorus: Martin L. Gore & Dave Gahan, (audience)]
Black celebration "Sing it, come on!"
Black celebration
Tonight
Black celebration "Alright!"
I'll drink to that
(Black celebration)
Tonight
Black celebration "Come on!"
I'll drink to that
(Black celebration)
Tonight
Black celebration "Alright!"
I'll drink to that
(Black celebration)
Tonight

[Outro: Daniel Miller]
A brief period of rejoycing
