Here Is the House Lyrics

[Chorus: Dave Gahan & Martin L. Gore]
Here is the house where it all happened
Those tender moments under this roof
Body and soul come together
As we come closer together
And as it happens, it happens here in this house


[Verse 1: Dave Gahan]
And I feel your warmth and it feels like home
And there's someone calling on the telephone
Let's stay home, it's cold outside
And I have so much to confide to you

[Pre-Chorus: Dave Gahan & Martin L. Gore]
With or without words, I'll confide everything

[Chorus: Dave Gahan & Martin L. Gore]
Here is the house where it all happened
Those tender moments under this roof
Body and soul come together
As we come closer together
And as it happens, it happens here in this house


[Verse 2: Dave Gahan]
So we stay at home and I'm by your side
And you know what's going on inside
Inside my heart, inside this house
And I just want to let it out for you

How to Format Lyrics:

  • Lyrics should be broken down into individual lines
  • Use section headers above different song parts like [Verse], [Chorus], etc.
  • Use italics (<i>lyric</i>) and bold (<b>lyric</b>) to distinguish between different vocalists in the same song part
  • If you don’t understand a lyric, use [?]

What did Depeche Mode say about "Here Is the House"?
Genius Answer

Martin Gore told Electronics and Music Magazine:

Then there’s the mandolin-like part on ‘Here is the House’. That was an acoustic guitar sampled twice — once on a down-stroke and once on an upstroke. We used them on alternate notes, so every other note was a downstroke and all the in-between notes were up-strokes. It sounded very funny — almost like a real player.
