Notes

When asked "Whose idea was it to drag the old Vince Clarke number ‘Boys Say Go’ out of the closet for the ‘Black Celebration’ tour?", Alan Wilder answered:[1]

"I don’t even remember playing it, let alone deciding to."

Lyrics


Boys Say Go

You don't understand

This is a demand

And I think that I have to show you

Try to look inside

Take me for a ride

In the day and the night

Get to know you


Boys meet boys get together

Boys meet boys live forever

Don't say no

Boys say go


I can run away

If you never stay

And the rain and the pain and the sorrow

I'm not very sure

When you close the door

If the end is the same as tomorrow


Boys

Boys

Boys say go
