Depeche Mode - Question of Lust
"A Question of Lust" is Depeche Mode's sixteenth UK single, released on April 14, 1986. It is the second Depeche Mode single using Martin Gore on vocals, and the first to specifically be its own single (the first Martin-sung single, "Somebody," was released as a double-A side with "Blasphemous Rumours").
The B-Side is an instrumental called "Christmas Island", named after the island of the same name. It is penned by both Martin Gore and Alan Wilder. It was produced by Depeche Mode themselves.
The music video for "A Question of Lust" brings the return of Clive Richardson. It is also his last video with the band. At the beginning of the video, you see Martin running around naked at a club with bandmates and staff trying to cover him up.
The following single is similarly titled "A Question of Time", however it has nothing to do with it, neither lyrically nor musically.

Like a baby in your arms
Be gentle with me
Id 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
Its a question of lust
Its a question of trust
Its a question of not letting
What weve 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)
Its 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 Im anyones
And you know
Its a question of lust
Its a question of trust
Its a question of not letting
What weve built up
Crumble to dust
It is all of these things and more
That keep us together
Kiss me goodbye
When Im on my own
But you know that id
Rather be home
Its a question of lust
