'Told You So' is one of several song demos prepared by [[Martin L. Gore|Martin Gore]] for the 1983 <i>[[Construction Time Again]]</i> album. Notably, the second verse has a different lyric compared to the album version. It sounds like Gore sings "I've gone to shoot the eyelet in the tall church spire" (it is very hard to understand that line, accuracy not guaranteed); the album version says "sights set higher than the tall church spire". | |||

Lyrics
Told You So
And do those feet in modern times
Walk upon the flowers
And walk upon their brothers
While their heads are busy lying low
Trying to keep to cover
Something went wrong
Along the way
Everybody's waiting for
Judgment day
So they can go
Told you so
Bring me my gun of itching desire
Bring me my bullets and I will fire
Sights set higher than the tall church spire
Something went wrong
Along the way
Everybody's waiting for
Judgment day
So they can go
Told you so
So they can go
Told you so
Standing in line
The blind lead the blind
Waiting and waiting
For an overdue sign
Brothers and sisters
Playing Chinese whispers
If things aren't suited
Then they'll get diluted
There's one more dead with a hole in his head
He shouldn't have said all the things he said
Many tears were shed for the blood he bled
Something went wrong
Along the way
Everybody's waiting for
Judgment day
So they can go
Told you so
