Notes

Dave Gahan says in the 2013-03-22 issue of Mojo magazine:

"I was out Christmas Eve, a nice restaurant, everyone drinking. I thought, 'Why can't I just have a glass of wine?' But I don't any more, because even one glass opens a whole Pandora's box. My mind immediately thinks, I can go much higher. That's what Should Be Higher is about - that line, 'The lies are more attractive than the truth.' I still draw on that stuff when I'm singing and performing, to dig my way out of trouble."

Lyrics


Should Be Higher

I dream of a day when I dare to believe you're the answer

When the shame and the guilt are removed and the truth appears

Oh the touch of your hand, I lose who I am if I want to

I try to resist but succumb to the bliss of your kiss


You should be higher

I'll take you higher

Don't be afraid

You'll just have to pray


Your lies are more attractive than the truth

Love is all I want

Your lies are written down there in your book

Love is all I want


Your arms are infected

They're holding the truth

Oh stop all your crying

This one you'll lose


You should be higher

I'll take you higher

Don't be afraid

You'll just have to pray


Your lies are more attractive than the truth

Love is all I want

Your lies are written down there in your book

Love is all I want

You should be higher


You should be higher
