SOME GREAT REWARD (1984)
Some Great Reward est le quatrième album studio du groupe anglais Depeche Mode, sorti à l’automne 1984. Il contient deux des tubes les plus connus du groupe : People Are People, le titre qui donna à Depeche Mode une reconnaissance internationale, ainsi que Master and Servant et Blasphemous Rumours.
Cet album continue sur la lancée de Construction Time Again, avec ses influences industrielles et ses tendances expérimentales tout en gardant l’aspect pop propre à Depeche Mode. Le ton se fait cependant plus sombre. (Source : Wikipedia)

LES SINGLES
PEOPLE ARE PEOPLE
PAROLES
People are people
So why should it be
That you and I should get along awfully
People are people
So why should it be
That you and I should get along awfully
So now theres differents colors
And theres differents breeds
And different people
Have different needs
It’s obvious you hate me
Though I’ve done nothing wrong
I’ve never even met you
So what I could I have done
Can’t you understand
What makes a man
Hate another man
Help me understand
People are people
So why should it be
That you and I should get along awfully
People are people
So why should it be
That you and I should get along awfully
So now you’re punching
And you’re kicking
And you’re screaming at me
You’re relying on my common decency
I know it hasn’t surfaced
But I’m sure it exists
It just takes a while to travel
From my head to my fist (Boom)
Can’t you understand
What makes a man
Hate another man
Help me understand
People are people
So why should it be
That you and I should get along awfully
People are people
So why should it be
That you and I should get along awfully
Can’t you understand
What makes a man
Hate another man
Help me understand
Can’t you understand
What makes a man
Hate another man
Help me understand
People are people
MASTER AND SERVANT
PAROLES
There’s a new game
We like to play you see
A game with added reality
You treat me like a dog
Get me down on my knees
We call it master and servant
We call it master and servant
It’s a lot like life
This play between the sheets
With you on top and me underneath
Forget all about equality
Let’s play master and servant
Let’s play master and servant
It’s a lot like life
And that’s what’s appealing
If you despise that throwaway feeling
From disposable fun
Then this is the one
Domination’s the name of the game
In bed or in life
They’re both just the same
Except in one you’re fulfilled
At the end of the day
Let’s play master and servant
Let’s play master and servant
Let’s play master and servant
Come on master and servant
BLASPHEMOUS RUMOURS
PAROLES
Girl of sixteen, whole life ahead of her
Slashed her wrists, bored with life
Didn’t succeed, thank the Lord
For small mercies
Fighting back the tears, mother reads the note again
Sixteen candles burn in her mind
She takes the blame, it’s always the same
She goes down on her knees and prays
I don’t want to start any blasphemous rumours
But I think that God’s got a sick sense of humor
And when I die I expect to find Him laughing
Girl of eighteen, fell in love with everything
Found new life in Jesus Christ
Hit by a car, ended up
On a life support machine
Summer’s day, as she passed away
Birds were singing in the summer sky
Then came the rain, and once again
A tear fell from her mother’s eye
I don’t want to start any blasphemous rumours
But I think that God’s got a sick sense of humor
And when I die I expect to find Him laughing
