Condemnation (Live) [Paris 10/10/01]

[Intro: Dave Gahan]

"Alright, let's stay a little longer now."

[Verse 1: Dave Gahan]

Condemnation, tried

Here on the stand with the book in my hand

And truth on my side

Accusations, lies

Hand me my sentence, I'll show no repentance

I'll suffer with pride

[Chorus: Dave Gahan]

If for honesty you want apologies

I don't sympathise

If for kindness you substitute blindness

Please open your eyes

[Interlude: Georgia Lewis & Jordan Bailey, "Dave Gahan"]

Ooh "Alright!"

Ooh

Ooh

[Verse 2: Dave Gahan]

Condemnation, why?

Because my duty was always to beauty

That was my crime

Feel elation, high

To know I can trust this fix of injustice

Time after time

[Chorus: Dave Gahan]

If you see purity as immaturity

Well, it's no surprise

If for kindness you substitute blindness

Please open your eyes

[Outro: Dave Gaham, Hildia Campbell & Samantha Smith]

Oh, oh, oh, oh

Oh, oh, oh, oh

Oh, oh, oh, oh

Oh, oh, oh, oh "Alright!"

Oh, oh, oh, oh

Oh, oh, oh, oh

Oh, oh, oh, oh

Oh, oh, oh, oh "Come on!"

Oh, oh, oh, oh "Yeah

Oh, oh, oh, oh

Oh, oh, oh, oh

Oh, oh, oh, oh

Oh, oh
