Notes
All By Themselves is a demo track written by Martin Gore. It appears as part of a 5-track demo tape for the 1983 "Construction Time Again" album as the final track on the tape; excerpts of the other four demos are available to listen to on this page. This track may have been intended as a B-side for a single release of And Then... which never materialized. You can listen to the entire track below:
Lyrics
Thanks to Ronny for transcribing the lyrics. Please note that this is our best effort; the song's vocals are very difficult to make out, so accuracy is not guaranteed.
Alone in the house
In a modern old house
Radios turn on by themselves
Lights go on and off by themselves
All by themselves
There's a voice on the telephone
Calls my name and the voice is gone
Radios turn on by themselves
Lights go on and off by themselves
All by themselves
Past needs present
Undying love
The gift from the past is a present
The gift of love
Strange visions on the TV screen
Through the interference a face you'll see
Stereos turn on by themselves
Favorite records find their way from the shelves
All by themselves
Past needs present
Undying love
The gift from the past is a present
The gift of love
