Walking in My Shoes (Live) [Paris 10/10/01]

[Intro: Dave Gahan]

"Yeah!"

[Verse 1: Dave Gahan]

I would tell you about the things they put me through

The pain I've been subjected to

But the Lord himself would blush

The countless feasts laid at my feet

Forbidden fruits for me to eat

But I think your pulse would start to rush

[Pre-Chorus: Dave Gahan]

Now I'm not looking for absolution

Forgiveness for the things I do

But before you come to any conclusions

Try walking in my shoes "Ah!"

Try walking in my shoes

[Chorus: Dave Gahan & Martin L. Gore]

You'll stumble in my footsteps

Keep the same appointments I kept

If you try walking in my shoes

If you try walking in my shoes

[Verse 2: Dave Gahan]

Morality would frown upon

Decency look down upon

The scapegoat fate's made of me

But I promise now, my judgе and jurors

My intentions couldn't have been purer

My casе is easy to see

[Pre-Chorus: Dave Gahan]

I'm not looking for a clearer conscience

Peace of mind after what I've been through

And before we talk of any repentance

Try walking in my shoes

Try walking in my shoes

[Chorus: Dave Gahan & Martin L. Gore]

You'll stumble in my footsteps

Keep the same appointments I kept

If you try walking in my shoes

Try walking in my shoes

If you try walking in my shoes

"Oh, yeah!"

[Pre-Chorus: Dave Gahan & Martin L. Gore]

Now I'm not looking for absolution

Forgiveness for the things I do

But before you come to any conclusions

Try walking in my shoes

Try walking in my shoes

[Chorus: Dave Gahan & Martin L. Gore]

You'll stumble in my footsteps

Keep the same appointments I kept

If you try walking in my shoes

You'll stumble in my footsteps

Keep the same appointments I kept

If you try walking in my shoes

Try walking in my shoes

If you try walking in my shoes "Come on!"

Try walking in my shoes

"Oh, yeah!"

[Outro: Dave Gahan]

"Yeah! Oh, hello!"
