Lyric discussion by DepecheRoze 

Most of you are idiots. Dave distinctly said in an interview before singing, or in this case, doing a playback of Shake the Disease, that its a love song. "I'm not going down on my knees/Begging you to adore me/ Cant you see its misery and torture for me?/ When Im Misunderstood/Try as hard as you can/Ive tried as hard as I could/To make you see/How important it is for me/ etc... Here is a plea/from my heart to you/ nobody knows me as well as you do/ You know how hard it is for me to Shake the Disease that takes hold of my tongue is situations like there..." Basically he gets tongue tied around the girl, might say the wrong thing, didn't mean it. The disease isnt Heroin, since his real addiction didnt take over till the mid 90s, and not cocaine. Its most definitely not AIDS, and as far as I know, none of those three things do anything to your tongue. The disease is love, he's love sick.
