Precious Lyrics

(written by: Martin L. Gore)

Send "Precious" Ringtone to your Cell

Precious and fragile things
Need special handling
My God what have we done to You?

We always try to share
The tenderest of care
Now look what we have put You through

Things get demaged
Things get broken
I thought we'd manage
But words left unspoken
Left us so brittle
There was so little left to give

Angels with silver wings
Shouldn't know suffering
I wish I could take the pain for you

If God has a master plan
That only He understands
I hope it's your eyes He's seeing through

Things get demaged
Things get broken
I thought we'd manage
But words left unspoken
Left us so brittle
There was so little left to give

I pray you learn to trust
Have faith in both of us
And keep room in your heart for two

Things get demaged
Things get broken
I thought we'd manage
But words left unspoken
Left us so brittle
There was so little left to give

Also, It makes sense that this song could be dedicated to children of divorce. It's moving, sorrowful, and shows a streak of compassion. There's a pervading sadness to this song (as many others on the album) that's not too overwhelming.


I've been following DM for 20 years, and like a previous poster mentioned: DM has always put out insightful, thought provoking lyrics and music. I'm happy that they have returned to form. I've missed them. Too bad the Chicago tour date was cancelled because Dave got sick. :-(

I wasn't excited by the Exciter album. But this one....whoo boy! I love it. This song is as almost as addictive as Dave's herion of the 90's (okay, not really, but I really do love this song and the rest of the album!)

<< im pretty sure martin wrote this song for his children because he and his wife were going through a divorce. >>

Divorce--sheesh, why didn't I think of that...?

Well, it makes a lot more sense.

im pretty sure martin wrote this song for his children because he and his wife were going through a divorce.

i wish my parents would have done something like this to explain it all to us. this song is really moving to someone that went through this. the line "i wish i could take the pain for you" always chokes me up.

This song was on CSI tonight and I almost jumped out of my chair when I heard it come on. I love this song and this CD...its one of their best yet. Great song from my favorite band.

omg, this song is one of their best yet!
It reminds me of my 13yr old son Christian.
Both his father and I divorced, but we both
LOVE him very much!!

I saw this video this morning on VH1. The song struck a chord with me, and I think I found a reminder of the 1980s, when videos were GOOD.

One question, though--is this about someone dying? The lyrics point in that direction.
