Notes
Martin Gore told Swedish magazine "Zero" in 2009 (translated from Swedish):
"Betrayal, longing, suffering, religion, and sex, all in one song. What can I say? Maybe I've finally written the ultimate Depeche Mode lyric? Jokes aside though, you don't have to put that much weight on the biblical reference. The song is more about the importance of not believing everything you hear. To think for yourself."
Lyrics
Jezebel
They call you Jezebel
Whenever we walk in
You're going straight to hell
For wanton acts of sin
They say
And that I'll have to pay
But I need you
Just this way
They call you Jezebel
For what you like to wear
You're morally unwell
They say you'll never care
For me
But what they fail to see
Is that your games
Are the key
Open their eyes to the beauty
Open their hearts to the fun
Open their minds to the idea
That you don't own someone
They call you Jezebel
Whenever men walk by
They say that they can tell
The longing in your eyes
Is real
And how you really feel
But they can't see
Your appeal
Jezebel
