"Sweetest Perfection" is a song from the 1990 album Violator by Depeche Mode.
Notes
Alan Wilder describes how the outro came to be in a Q&A on Shunt, the official Recoil website: "The weird stuff at the end came together during the mixing stage (with François Kevorkian). It's the kind of thing you resort to when you haven't really got an ending ;-)"[1]
In 2006, all of Depeche Mode's studio albums were being remastered. Engineer Kevin Paul told Sound On Sound magazine: "'Sweetest Perfection' was completely crazy. It has lots of tape loops, lots of phasing, all sorts of crazy sounds going on. That was really hard to emulate and I had to put my personal spin on it just to get it to work."
Lyrics
Sweetest Perfection
The sweetest perfection
To call my own
The slightest correction
Couldn't finely hone
The sweetest infection
Of body and mind
Sweetest injection
Of any kind
I stop and I stare too much
Afraid that I care too much
And I hardly dare to touch
For fear that the spell may be broken
When I need a drug in me
And it brings out the thug in me
Feel something tugging me
Then I want the real thing not tokens
Things you'd expect to be
Having effect on me
Pass undetectedly
But everyone knows what has got me
Takes me completely
Touches me sweetly
Reaches so deeply
I know that nothing can stop me
Sweetest perfection
An offer was made
An assorted collection
But I wouldn't trade
The sweetest perfection
To call my own
The slightest correction
Couldn't finely hone (Nothing can stop me)
The sweetest infection (Takes me completely)
Of body and mind (Touches so sweetly)
Sweetest injection (Reaches so deeply)
Of any kind
