Never Let Me Down Again 101

If I remember this correctly 
I was about 15
At school in Cambridge 
Bunking off
Watching BBC 2
And Depeche Mode 101 was on T.V
Never really been interested in Music
Never bought a record 
Sport was my thing
But watched in awe
Never let me down again
Live at the Pasadena Rose Bowl
Gothic is the best way I could describe it
A spontaneous wave broke out
The hair's on my neck and goosebumps broke out 
When it finished 
I got on my bike
And rode to St Ives to buy the Album
I got to see them live 20 year's later 
A dream fulfilled 
And it never disappointed 
Better than I could have imagined
Better live than on record 
A timeless memory 
That stood the test of time
Is mine forevermore 
That never grows old
101 Live
Depeche Mode 
Never let me down again
