Notes
This song is a collaboration between Martin Gore and Dave Gahan.
Dave Gahan told Spinner:
"He motioned toward me, 'What do you think?' and I was like, 'It's cool.' Ben [Hillier], who's producing the record, said, 'I think Martin was trying to see if you're interested in writing anything to that.' I just let it absorb into me for a few days. I came up with something and recorded it, and Martin seemed very happy."
Martin told Sonic Seducer magazine (translated):
"This time it really felt like a proper collaboration, even though we weren't together in the studio when we wrote it. I first wrote a slower instrumental track, but Ben [Hillier] thought that it would be a good idea if Dave were to add lyrics and melodies to it. So that's what he did, and during a recording session I took it with me and reconstructed the instrumental part around it. But it feels more as though we have created the song together."
Lyrics
Long Time Lie
It's been a while since you did something
Not so long since you complained
You sit around here doing nothing
Every day
You're the coward who points the finger
I understand that I'm helping you
You have delusions in some spaced-out fantasy
That's what you do
He loves to wallow in the glory
Loves to cut you down to size
Try to make you believe in all of his lies
It's been a long, long, long, long, long, long, time
It's been a long, long, long, long, long, long, time
A long time lie
Don't you ever look in the mirror
Don't you know there's so much more
Locked up inside that box behind your door
All your twisted conversations
When you're sitting all alone
Just remember we know your secret
While you moan
He loves to wallow in the glory
Loves to cut you down to size
Try to make you believe in all of his lies
It's been a long, long, long, long, long, long, time
It's been a long, long, long, long, long, long, time
A long time lie
