(written by Martin L.Gore)

Let's have a black celebration
Black celebration
Tonight

To celebrate the fact
That we've seen the back
Of another black
Day

I look to you
How you carry on
When all hope is gone
Can't you see?

Your optimistic eyes
Seem like paradise
To someone like
Me

I want to take you in my arms
Forgetting all I couldn't do today

Black celebration
Tonight

To celebrate the fact
That we've seen the back
Of another black
Day

I look to you
And your strong belief
Me - I want relief
Tonight

Your consolation
I want so much
Want to feel your touch
Tonight

I want to take you in my arms
Forgetting all I couldn't do today

I'll drink to that
Tonight

I'll drink to that
Tonight
