"Dirty Sticky Floors" is the first solo single by Depeche Mode vocalist Dave Gahan and is the lead track on his 2003 debut album, Paper Monsters. It was released in late May 2003 as the lead single from that album, reaching #18 in the UK Singles Chart (see 2003 in British music). The song would also reach #5 in Billboard magazine's Hot Dance Club Play Chart. The song was slightly remixed in two different forms for its single release and an extended version for the music video.
Famous quotes containing the words dirty, sticky and/or floors:
“There is no release
In a bodkin or disease,
Nor can there be a work so great
As that which cleans man’s dirty slate.”
—William Butler Yeats (1865–1939)
“The kiss. There are all sorts of kisses, lad, from the sticky confection to the kiss of death. Of them all, the kiss of an actress is the most unnerving. How can we tell if she means it or if she’s just practicing?”
—Ruth Gordon (1896–1985)
“your bare feet on the floors of silence
speak in rhymed stanzas to the furniture,
solemn chests of drawers and heavy chairs
blinking in the sun you have let in!”
—Denise Levertov (b. 1923)
