Wiki:
World in My Eyes is Depeche Mode's twenty-sixth UK single, released on September 17, 1990, and the fourth and final single for the album Violator. The cover art for "World in My Eyes" has a photo of one of the band members making a shape similar to that of glasses with their hands. On the Limited 12", there are pictures of all four members. "World in My Eyes" has two exclusive B-sides, making Violator the only Depeche Mode album with all four singles having at least one exclusive B-Side, including instrumentals. The later album Songs of Faith and Devotion only has one, and while all four Music for the Masses singles have at least one B-side, some of them do appear on the album. In addition, the Construction Time Again singles each had exclusive B-sides, but there were only two singles in support of that album. The B-sides for "World in My Eyes" are "Happiest Girl" and "Sea of Sin". "Happiest Girl (Jack Mix)" and "Sea of Sin (Tonal Mix)" are the main 7" versions. "Regular" versions were never released or rather these mixes are the regular versions according to interviews and the official website. The music video for "World in My Eyes" is directed by Anton Corbijn. There are two versions, the original version was not originally released to the public until The Videos 86-98. The original music video features some footage from the World Violation Tour, while David Gahan and a girl he's with watch it from a drive-in theater. The alternate version on Strange Too features the band in the car instead, more live footage, and the silent ending with David is longer.
Lyrics:
[Verse 1] Let me take you on a trip Around the world and back And you won't have to move, you just sit still Now let your mind do the walking And let my body do the talking Let me show you the world in my eyes [Interlude] [Verse 2] I'll take you to the highest mountain To the depths of the deepest sea And we won't need a map, believe me Now let my body do the moving And let my hands do the soothing Let me show you the world in my eyes [Chorus] That's all there is Nothing more than you can feel now That's all there is [Interlude] [Verse 3] Let me put you on a ship On a long, long trip Your lips close to my lips All the islands in the ocean All the heavens in motion Let me show you the world in my eyes [Chorus] That's all there is Nothing more than you can touch now That's all there is [Interlude] [Outro] Let me show you the world in my eyes Let me show you the world in my eyes Let me show you the world in my eyes Let me show you the world in my eyes Let me show you the world in my eyes Let me show you the world in my eyes Let me show you the world in my eyes Let me show you the world in my eyes
