La Femme Nikita movie - Depeche Mode lyrics

Song by The Love Thieves<br /><br>

Oh the tears that you weep<br>

For the poor tortured souls<br>

Who fall at your feet<br>

With all their love begging bowls<br>

All the clerks and the tailors<br>

The sharks and the sailors<br>

All good at their trades<br>

But they'll always be failures<br>

<br>

Alms for the poor<br>

For the wretched disciples<br>

And the love that they swore<br>

With their hearts on the bible<br>

Beseeching the honour<br>

To sit at your table<br>

And feast on your holiness<br>

As long as they're able<br>

<br>

Love needs its martyrs<br>

Needs its sacrifices<br>

They live for your beauty<br>

And pay for their vices<br>

Love will be the death of<br>

My lonely soul brothers<br>

But their spirits shall live on in<br>

The hearts of all lovers<br>

<br>

You're holding court<br>

With your lips and your smile<br>

Your body's a halo<br>

Their minds are on trial<br>

Sure as adam is eve<br>

Sure as Jonah turned whaler<br>

They're crooked love thieves<br>

And you are their jailor<br>

<br>

Love needs its martyrs<br>

Needs its sacrifices<br>

They live for your beauty<br>

And pay for their vices<br>

Love will be the death of<br>

My lonely soul brothers<br>

But their spirit shall live on in<br>

The hearts of all lovers<br>

<br>
