Notes
Martin Gore said in the commentary track on the DVD of 101 in 2003:
I didn't discover Iggy Pop until about 1977, with 'The Idiot' and 'Lust For Life'. I went back and re-discovered some of his older stuff from The Stooges. Over the years, we haven't really covered too many songs. We covered "Dirt" by The Stooges on one of our B-sides recently. I just think that he always had a sense of humour and this darkness to his music at the same time, which is a hard thing to marry, and I think he always has done that really well.
Lyrics
Dirt
Ooh, I've been dirt
And I don't care
Ooh, I've been dirt
And I don't care
'Cause I'm burning inside
'Cause I'm burning inside
I'm the fire of life
Yeah alright
Ooh, I've been hurt
And I don't care
Ooh, I've been hurt
And I don't care
'Cause I'm burning inside
'Cause I'm burning inside
And do you feel it
Said do you feel it when you touch me
I said do you feel it when you touch me
I'm a fire
Well there's a fire
Yeah, alright
It's just a burning inside
It's just a burning inside
Said do you feel it
Said do you feel it when you cut me
Said do you feel it when you cut me
There's a fire
There's a fire
A fire
Inside
It was just a dreaming
