Notes
Quotes from the documentary on the DVD of the Some Great Reward remaster from 2006:
Martin Gore: "Lie To Me: I don't know if we made the best version of that that we possibly could have done, but I quite like that as a song."
Daniel Miller: "Lie To Me was, I think, one of the strongest songs that Martin had written up until that point. I thought it just had a great feeling to it."
Martin Gore: "It was just one of the first tracks that had this chord change that I've used over the years - overused, over the years."
Dave Gahan: "Lie To Me was one that we had played for a long time live, which I always really liked, I think, really simple and direct, and we toyed with the idea of bringing that back on [Touring The Angel], actually."
From the 1984-09-22 issue of Melody Maker:
Suggesting that “Some Great Reward” is dominated by "anti-love" songs brings a considered but emphatic "No" from Martin.
Martin: 'Lie To Me' isn't an anti-love song... it's about a situation of paranoia which anybody could find themselves in."
Lyrics
Lie To Me
Come on and lay with me
Come on and lie to me
Tell me you love me
Say I'm the only one
Experiences have a lasting impression
But words once spoken
Don't mean a lot now
Belief is the way
The way of the innocent
And when I say innocent
I should say naive
So lie to me
But do it with sincerity
Make me listen
Just for a minute
Make me think
There's some truth in it
Promises made for convenience
Aren't necessarily
What we need
Truth is a word
That's lost its meaning
The truth has become
Merely half-truth
So lie to me
Like they do it in the factory
Make me think
That at the end of the day
Some great reward
Will be coming my way
Come on and lay with me
Come on and lie to me
Tell me you love me
Say I'm the only one
Come on and lay with me (lay with me)
Come on and lie to me (lie to me)
Tell me you love me (love me)
Say I'm the only one (only one)
