A Question of Time [Live in Paris, L’Olympia Bruno Coquatrix, France - 2003/07/05]

[Intro: audience]
Mode!
Mode!
Mode, Mode, Depeche Mode!

[Verse 1: Dave Gahan]
I've got to get to you first
Before they do
It's just a question of time
Before they lay their hands on you
And make you just like the rest
I've got to get to you first
It's just a question of time
"Alright!"

[Verse 2: Dave Gahan]
Well, now you're only fifteen "Wooh!"
And you look good
I'll take you under my wing
Or, somebody should
They've persuasive ways
And you'll believe what they say
"Sing it!"

[Chorus: Dave Gahan, (audience)]
(It's just a question of time)
(And it's running out for you)
(It won't be long until you'll do)
(Exactly what they want you to)
"Oh!"

[Verse 3: Dave Gahan]
I can see them now
Hanging around
To mess you up
To strip you down
And have their fun
With my little one

[Chorus: Dave Gahan]
It's just a question of time
And it's running out for you
It won't be long until you'll do
Exactly what they want you to
It won't be long until you'll do
Exactly what they want you to
"Alright! Ah!"

[Verse 4: Dave Gahan]
Sometimes I don't blame them
For wanting you
You look good "Ah!"
And they need something to do
Until I look at you
And then I condemn them
I know my kind
What goes on in our minds
"Sing it!"

[Outro: Dave Gahan, (audience), *Vincent Jones & Martyn LeNoble*]
(It's just a question of time)
(And it's running out for you)
It's a question of time "Alright!"
It's just a question of time *It should be better*
It's just a question of time *It should be better with you*
It's just a question of time "Oh, yeah!" *It should be better*
It's just a question of time *Oh, it should be better with you*
It's just a question of time
"Thank you!"
