About Leave in Silence

"Leave in Silence" is the sixth single by the English electronic band Depeche Mode, released on 16 August 1982. Recorded at Blackwing Studios, the single became the band's fifth UK Top 20 hit, peaking at #18. It was the first Depeche Mode single in the UK to use the "Bong" catalogue number system, which they used until "Heaven" in 2013. Three versions of the track were released on the 7" and 12" singles, while a fourth cut (running at 4:51 mins) was released on the band's 1982 album A Broken Frame. The music video for "Leave in Silence" was directed by Julien Temple, and features the band breaking things on a conveyor belt and talking to each other while wearing face paint. The band disliked the video and did not include it on the Some Great Videos VHS compilation album. more »

I've told myself so many times before
But this time I think I mean it for sure
We have reached a full stop
Nothing's gonna save us from the big drop 
Reached our natural conclusion
Outlived the illusion
I hate being in these situations
That call for diplomatic relations 
If I only knew the answer
Or I thought we had a chance
Or I could stop this
I would stop this thing from spreading like a cancer 
What can I say? (I don't want to play) anymore
What can I say? I'm heading for the door
I can't stand this emotional violence
Leave in silence 
We've been running around in circles all year
Doing this and that and getting nowhere
This'll be the last time
(I think I said that last time) 
If I only had a potion,
Some magical lotion
That could stop this, I would stop this
I would set the wheels in motion 
What can I say? (I don't want to play) anymore
What can I say? I'm heading for the door
I can't stand this emotional violence
Leave in silence

Clarke left the band after the release of their 1981 debut album, Speak & Spell, and was replaced by Alan Wilder (keyboards, drums, occasional songwriter) with Gore taking over songwriting.
