Walking in My Shoes [Live in Paris, L’Olympia Bruno Coquatrix, France - 2003/07/05]

Lyrics

[Intro: Dave Gahan] "Wooh! A little Mode." [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 "Oh, yeah!" [Pre-Chorus: Dave Gahan, Vincent Jones & Victor Indrizzo] 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, Vincent Jones & Victor Indrizzo] You'll stumble in my footsteps Keep the same appointments I kept If you try walking in my shoes "Alright!" [Verse 2: Dave Gahan] Morality would frown upon Decency look down upon The scapegoat fate's made of me But I promise now, my judge and jurors My intentions couldn't have been purer My case is easy to see "Aaah!" [Pre-Chorus: Dave Gahan, Vincent Jones & Victor Indrizzo] 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, Vincent Jones & Victor Indrizzo] 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 [Pre-Chorus: Dave Gahan, (Vincent Jones & Victor Indrizzo)] 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) "Say what?!" (Try walking in my shoes) [Chorus: Dave Gahan, Vincent Jones & Victor Indrizzo, (audience)] 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 "Alright!" Try walking in my... "Ah! Yeah!" "Oh!" [Outro: Dave Gahan] "Thank you!" "Thank you very much."
