Everything Counts [Live in Hamburg, Alsterdorfer Sporthalle, Germany - 1984/12/09]

[Intro: Dave Gahan]
"Oooh!"
"Yeah"

[Verse 1: Dave Gahan]
The handshake seals the contract
From the contract, there's no turning back
The turning point of a career
In Korea being insincere
The holiday was fun-packed
The contract still intact

[Chorus: Martin L. Gore & Dave Gahan]
The grabbing hands grab all they can
All for themselves, after all
The grabbing hands grab all they can
All for themselves, after all
It's a competitive world
Everything counts in large amounts

[Verse 2: Dave Gahan (Martin L. Gore & Alan Wilder)]
The graph on the wall (The graph, the graph)
Tells the story of it all (The graph, the graph)
Picture it now, see just how (The graph, the graph)
The lies and deceit gained a little more power (The graph, the graphon the wall)
Confidence taken in (The graph, the graph)
By a suntan and a grin (The graph, the handshake)

[Chorus: Martin L. Gore & Dave Gahan]
The grabbing hands grab all they can
All for themselves, after all
The grabbing hands grab all they can
All for themselves, after all
It's a competitive world
Everything counts in large amounts
"Hey!"
Everything counts in large amounts

[Interlude: Dave Gahan]
"Here it play, Mart."

[Chorus: Martin L. Gore & Dave Gahan]
The grabbing hands grab all they can
Everything counts in large amounts
The grabbing hands grab all they can
Everything counts in large amounts

[Bridge: Martin L. Gore]
(Everything, everything)
(Everything, everything)

[Chorus: Martin L. Gore & Dave Gahan]
The grabbing hands grab all they can "Oh!"
Everything counts in large amounts
The grabbing hands grab all they can
Everything counts in large amounts

[Outro: Martin L. Gore & Dave Gahan]
The grabbing hands grab all they can "Oh!"
Everything counts in large amounts
The grabbing hands grab all they can
Everything counts in large amounts
The grabbing hands grab all they can "Oh!"
Everything counts in large amounts
The grabbing hands grab all they can
Everything counts in large amounts
"Thank you very much!"
"Good night."
"Thank you very much, thank you!"
"Yeah!"
...

"Thank you."
"Well, that should be a single."
