I am the founder and main author of the international synth pop magazine Electrozombies. Since my childhood I have been a devotee of melancholic, gloomy electronic music. Started in the late 70s with minimal electro band Kraftwerk and become a real synth pop fan through Depeche Mode's hit 'People Are People' in 1984.

I took over the depechemodecovers.com website in 2024 and relaunched it. As a big fan of Depeche Mode and cover versions, I dedicate myself passionately to this project.

Lyrics of "A Question Of Lust"

Fragile
Like a baby in your arms
Be gentle with me
I’d never willingly
Do you harm

Apologies
Are all you seem to get from me
But just like a child
You make me smile
When you care for me
And you know…

It’s a question of lust
It’s a question of trust
It’s a question of not letting
What we’ve built up
Crumble to dust
It is all of these things and more
That keep us together

Independence
Is still important for us though (we realise)
It’s easy to make
The stupid mistake
Of letting go (do you know what I mean)

My weaknesses
You know each and every one (it frightens me)
But I need to drink
More than you seem to think
Before I’m anyone’s
And you know…

Kiss me goodbye
When I’m on my own
But you know that I’d
Rather be home
