Shake the Disease (Live in Dodger Stadium, Los Angeles, CA, 4th August 1990)

[Verse 1: Dave Gahan]
I'm not going down on my knees, begging you to adore me
Can't you see it's misery and torture for me?
When I'm misunderstood
Try as hard as you can, I've tried as hard as I could
To make you see
How important it is for me

[Chorus: Dave Gahan]
Here is a plea from my heart to you
Nobody knows me as well as you do
You know how hard it is for me to shake the disease
That takes hold of my tongue in situations like these

[Post-Chorus: Martin L. Gore]
Understand me, understand me
Understand me, understand me

[Verse 2: Dave Gahan]
Some people have to be permanently together
Lovers devoted to each other forever
Now I've got things to do
And I've said before that I know you have too
When I'm not there
In spirit, I'll be there

[Chorus: Dave Gahan]
Here is a plea from my heart to you
Nobody knows me as well as you do
You know how hard it is for me to shake the disease
That takes hold of my tongue in situations like these

[Post-Chorus: Martin L. Gore, (Dave Gahan)]
Understand me, understand me
Understand me, understand me
(Yeah! Yeah! Oh!)

[Interlude: Dave Gahan]
Hey!

[Chorus: Dave Gahan]
Here is a plea from my heart to you
Nobody knows me as well as you do
You know how hard it is for me to shake the disease
That takes hold of my tongue in situations like these

[Chorus: Dave Gahan & Martin L. Gore]
Here is a plea from my heart to you
Nobody knows me as well as you do
You know how hard it is for me to shake the disease
That takes hold of my tongue in situations like these

[Interlude]

[Chorus: Dave Gahan]
Here is a plea from my heart to you
Nobody knows me as well as you do
You know how hard it is for me to shake the disease
That takes hold of my tongue in situations like these
(Oh, yeah)

[Outro: Dave Gahan]
Thank you
