The tale of a 16-year-old girl whose suicide attempt fails, she is still cut down in her prime two years later in a fatal car wreck. In 2017, a music critic explained on Billboard’s website that the song is: The song (as part of the double A-side single) peaked at #16 in the UK, and did even better in Ireland peaking at #8. Insisting that the song still be the next single, the band agreed to the compromise of releasing the much less controversial “Somebody” as another ‘A-side’ on the same release. And the Independent Broadcasting Authority and the Sun (UK tabloid) both condemned the song. Melody Maker Magazine called it “a prime candidate for official censure”.
Long-rumored among fans to be written as a response to Martin Gore’s sister’s suicide, he told Spin Magazine the song was actually inspired by seeing ‘prayer lists’ while he and Dave Gahan separately attended church services and agreed it was ‘strange’ and ‘ridiculous’ that despite the fact people at the top of the list are ‘guaranteed to die’, everyone continues to thank God for carrying out his will.Ī controversial track, “Blasphemous Rumours” was almost banned by the BBC. “Blasphemous Rumours” (along with “Somebody” as part of a double A-side) was the third single from Some Great Reward. and love.Girl of sixteen, whole life ahead of her Slashed her wrists, bored with life Didn't succeed, thank the Lord For small mercies Fighting back the tears, mother reads the note again Sixteen candles burn in her mind She takes the blame, it's always the same She goes down on her knees and prays I don't want to start any blasphemous rumours But I think that God's got a sick sense of humour And when I die, I expect to find him laughing I don't want to start any blasphemous rumours But I think that God's got a sick sense of humour And when I die, I expect to find him laughing Girl of eighteen, fell in love with everything Found new life in Jesus Christ Hit by a car, ended up On a life support machine Summer's day as she passed away Birds were singing in the summer sky Then came the rain and once again A tear fell from her mother's eye I don't want to start any blasphemous rumours But I think that God's got a sick sense of humour And when I die, I expect to find him laughing I don't want to start any blasphemous rumours But I think that God's got a sick sense of humour And when I die, I expect to find him laughing I don't want to start any blasphemous rumours But I think that God's got a sick sense of humour And when I die, I expect to find him laughing I don't want to start any blasphemous rumours But I think that God's got a sick sense of humour And when I die, I expect to find him laughing I don't want to start any blasphemous rumours But I think that God's got a sick sense of humour And when I die, I expect to find him laughing and Listening to others, and accepting there own world, ofcourse if its unharmful.

Besides i think people shouldnt take the bible too too seariously, i know that sounds silly to firm believers but we all make mistakes anyways, I dont thikn God punishes nor "takes" someone life away, the way they describe it in some bibles, i think. Not every body is this way, I know this, but many. Trying to prove each other wrong, and believe youre own self is the ultimate correct way. Embarrassing haircuts, gender-bending lyrics and an unabashed dependence on. the only finger i can point at is all of us together. But anyways, if there was, a "God" that did control this whole universal system somehow (man or energy) Why blame him or it for our reckless driving and our hateful desires and our own faults as humans together. but what we all really need to understand is no body is entirely correct and we can't go around arguing over unanswered questions and uncertain things, faith or no faith, we're all right and wrong. General CommentThis song is very powerful to many and has much emotion and is going to have many many different opinions and arguments.
