Contents.Song information The verses to 'Blasphemous Rumours' describe a 16-year-old girl who attempts suicide but fails. She experiences a religious revival but is killed in a car accident at age 18. The chorus uses these incidents to conclude, '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.' Like other songs on Some Great Reward, the song uses a dense sound with extensive sampled percussion.When Depeche Mode announced that they were planning to release 'Blasphemous Rumours' as a single, pushback from the religious community resulted, and consequently, the band decided as a compromise to release the single as a double-A side with 'Somebody.' 'Somebody', which was sung by Martin Gore in the studio in the nude, includes one of Gore's 'little twists', where the song builds as if it's a song about finding your perfect love, only to have him reveal at the end 'though things like this make me sick / in a case like this I'll get away with it.'
