New Order - Kiss Of Death

"Let's go out and have some fun"

I know, you know, you believe in a land of love
I know, you know, we believe in a land of love

Tonight...
...pleasure zone

...tend...
"...have some fun"
I know, you know, we believe in a land of love
I know, you know, we believe in a land of love

New Order - Lonesome Tonight

I walk along the street
I look into your eyes
How pleasant when we meet
I'm there when you go home
How many times before
Could you tell I didn't care?
When you turned your back on me
I knew it lead nowhere
You believe in youth
The history of all truth
A heart that's left at home
Becomes a heart of stone

You believe in truth
The lies we told of youth
A cause we call our own
Beside an empty throne
How many times before
Could you tell I didn't care?
When you reached out in your sleep
And you knew I wasn't there

New Order - State Of The Nation

You can walk, or you can run

You don't have to be someone

I went on a summer cruise

Upon an ocean born to lose

My brother said that he was dead

I saw his face and shook my head

Can you see where we can be

We're losing our blood in the sea

'Cause it's the state of the nation, state of the nation

That's holding our salvation

Yes, it's the state of the nation, state of the nation

That's holding our salvation

Oh, the state of the nation, state of the nation

Is causing deprivation

Oh, the state of the nation, state of the nation

It's causing death inflation

From my home I travel far

I drove in my stolen car

When it broke down, I kissed the ground

'Cause I don't kiss when you're around

I don't find that I have been

The portrait of an only son

If that's the case, then who could tell

Where my story had begun?

'Cause it's the state of the nation, state of the nation

That's holding our salvation

Yes, it's the state of the nation, state of the nation

That's holding our salvation

Oh, the state of the nation, state of the nation

Is causing deprivation

Oh, the state of the nation, state of the nation

It's causing death inflation

State of the nation

State of the nation

State of the nation

State of the nation

State of the nation

State of the nation

State of the nation

State of the nation

New Order - Cries And Whispers

Below the surface, this day, I need it light
Inside dimension, lies another sacrifice
Once out of reach, we never speak, we never compromise
As they turned to gold, the edges froze, it seemed to turn to ice

All flight departures, assembled, returned
Left in these passions, I looked but never learned
There's hope, you've heard, there's life in another world
Sometimes you'll find that truth is never kind

In the ghost lies a portrait of space that time is never here
In the mind of a fallen man, a new day in another land
Ship sails out to sea, away from me, I just stand and stare
Assassin clears his hands, I know that and I wasn't even there

One day it came to mind, we even leave the rest behind
Some day, I know you get where you should go
There's hope, you've heard, there's life in another world

Sometimes you'll find that truth is never kind
One day it came to mind, we even leave the rest behind
Some day, I know you get where you should go
There's hope, you've heard, there's life in another world

New Order - Subculture

I like walking in the park
When it gets late at night
I move round in the dark
And leave when it gets light
I sit around by day
Tied up in chains so tight
These crazy words of mine
So wrong they could be right

What do I get out of this
I always try, I always miss
One of these days you'll go back to your home
You won't even notice that you are alone
One of these days when you sit by yourself
You'll realise you can't shaft without someone else
In the end you will submit
It's got to hurt you a little bit

I like talking in my sleep
When people work so hard
They need what they can keep
A choice that leaves them scarred
A view without a room
Unveils the truth so soon
And when the sun goes down
You've lost what you had found

What do I get out of this
I always try, I always miss
One of these days you'll go back to your home
You won't even notice that you are alone
One of these days when you sit by yourself
You'll realise you can't shaft without someone else
In the end you will submit
It's got to hurt you a little bit

What do I get out of this
I always try, I always miss
One of these days you'll go back to your home
You won't even notice that you are alone
One of these days when you sit by yourself
You'll realise you can't shaft without someone else
In the end you will submit
It's got to hurt you a little bit

What do I get out of this
I always try, I always miss
One of these days you'll go back to your home
You won't even notice that you are alone
One of these days when you sit by yourself
You'll realise you can't shaft without someone else
In the end you will submit
It's got to hurt you a little bit

What do I get out of this
I always try, I always miss
One of these days you'll go back to your home
You won't even notice that you are alone

New Order - Everything's Gone Green

Help me, somebody help me
I wonder where I am
I see my future before me
I'll hurt you when I can

It seems like I've been here before
It seems like I've been here before
It seems like I've been here before
It seems like I've been here before
It seems like I've been here before


Confusion sprung up from devotion
A halo that covers my eyes
It sprung from this first estrangement
No one have I ever despised

Is this the way that you wanted to pay
Won't you show me, please show me the way
Is this the way that you wanted to pay
Won't you show me, please show me the way
Show me
Show me
Show me
Show me
Show me

New Order - 1963

It was January 1963
When Johnny came home with a gift for me
He said "I bought it for you because I love you
And I bought it for you because it's your birthday too"
He was so very nice he was so very kind
To think of me at this point in time
I used to think of him, He used think of me

He told me to close my eyes
My gift would be a great surprise
I saw tears were in his eyes
He never meant to hurt me

Oh God Johnny don't point that gun at me
There's so many ways our lives have changed
But please I beg don't do this to me
Johnny don't point that gun at me
Can I save my life at any price?
For God's sake won't you listen to me?

And though he was ashamed that he had took a life
Johnny came home with another wife
And he often remembered how it used to be
Before that special occasion 1963
There was too many ways that you could kill someone
Like in a love affair when the love has gone
He used to think of her, she used to think of him

He told me to close my eyes
My gift would be a great surprise
I saw hatred in his eyes
He never meant to hurt me

Oh God Johnny don't point that gun at me
There's so many ways our lives have changed
But please I beg don't do this to me
Johnny you keep on using me
Can I change my life for any price?
Oh Johnny won't you listen to me?

He told me to close my eyes
My gift would be a great surprise
I saw hatred in his eyes
He never meant to hurt me

Oh God Johnny don't point that gun at me
There's so many ways our lives have changed
But please I beg don't do this to me

Johnny you keep on using me
Can I change my life for any price?
Oh Johnny won't you listen to me?

I just want you to be mine
I don't want this world to shine
I don't want this bridge to burn
Oh Johnny do you miss me?
I just want to feel free
I will always feel free
I will always feel free
I will always feel free
I will always feel free

New Order - Procession

There is no end to this
I have seen your face
But I don't recognize all these things
You must have left behind
It's a problem, you know
That's been there all your life
I try to make you see the world without a view
That just turn black and white
At night it gets cold and
You'd dearly like to turn away
The escape that fills
that makes you want to turn on heel
Alone, alone, alone, alone

There is no end to this
I can't turn away
Another picture but the scene
It's still the same
There is no room to move
Or try to look away
Remember, life is strange
The life keeps getting stranger every day
I try so hard but this attitudes
A type that won't subside
No matter what they say
Remember your heart beats you day at night
Your heart beats you day at night
Your heart beats you day at night
Your heart beats you day at night

New Order - Thieves Like Us

I've watched your face for a long time
It's always the same
I've studied the cracks and the wrinkles
You were always so vain
But now you live your life like a shadow
In the pouring rain

Oh, it's called love
Yes, it's called love
Oh, it's called love
And it belongs to us
Oh, it dies so quickly
It grows so slowly
But when it dies, it dies for good
It's called love
And it belongs to everyone but us

I've lived my life in the valleys
I've lived my life on the hills
I've lived my life on alcohol
I've lived my life on pills

But it's called love
And it belongs to us
It's called love
And it's the only thing that's worth living for

It's called love
And it belongs to us
It's called love
Yes it's called love

Oh love is found in the east and the west
But when love is at home, it's the best
Love is the cure for every evil
Love is the air that supports the eagle

It's called love
And it's so un-cool
It's called love
And somehow it's become unmentionable
It's called love
And it belongs to every one of us
It's called love
And it cuts your life like a broken knife

Oh love love love love love
It's called love and it belongs to us
It's called love love love love love
It's called love and it belongs to everyone but us

New Order - In A Lonely Place

Caressing the marble and stone
Love that was special for one
The waste and the fever and hate
How I wish you were here with me now

The body that kills and hides
Matches an awful delight
Warm like a dog `round your feet
How I wish you were here with me now

The hangman looks `round as he waits
Gullet stretches tight and it breaks
Someday we will die in your dreams
How I wish we were here with you now

New Order - Shellshock

That's the way - Shellshock
Darlin' it's never enough
It's never enough until your heart stops beating
The deeper you get, the sweeter the pain
Don't give up again until your heart stops beating

You call me on the phone, you left me all alone
All I get from you is shellshock
Another day goes by and all I do is cry
All I get from you is shellshock

I tell the world and save my soul
The rain falls down and I feel cold
The cold that sleeps within my heart
It tears the earth and sun apart

That's the way that I can win
A victim of your evil sin
You've lost the hold you had on me
By causing the changes that you never see

Darlin' it's never enough
It's never enough until your heart stops beating
The deeper you get, the sweeter the pain
Don't give up again until your heart stops beating

When we walk through open doorways,
Counting time in one or more ways
We can't find a peace of mind
And life becomes a life of crime
And that's the day I call your name
I came to you, I called in vain
You lost of face within your heart
The fire and soul from the end to the start

Darlin' it's never enough
It's never enough until your heart stops beating
The deeper you get, the sweeter the pain
Don't give up again until your heart stops beating

I've been good and I've been bad
But common sense I've never had
No matter how I try and try,
I heard the truth behind a lie
That's the way that I can win
A victim of your evil sin
You lost of face within your heart
The fire and soul from the end to the start

Darlin' it's never enough
It's never enough until your heart stops beating
The deeper you get, the sweeter the pain
Don't give up again until your heart stops beating

New Order - Blue Monday

How does it feel to treat me like you do?
When you've laid your hands upon me
And told me who you are
I thought I was mistaken
I thought I heard your words
Tell me, how do I feel
Tell me now, how do I feel

Those who came before me
Lived through their vocations
From the past until completion
They'll turn away no more
And I still find it so hard
To say what I need to say
But I'm quite sure that you'll tell me
Just how I should feel today

I see a ship in the harbor
I can and shall obey
But if it wasn't for your misfortune
I'd be a heavenly person today
And I thought I was mistaken
And I thought I heard you speak
Tell me how do I feel
Tell me now, how shall I feel

Now I stand here waiting...

I thought I told you to leave me
While I walked down to the beach
Tell me how does it feel
When your heart grows cold

New Order - Ceremony

This is why events unnerve me,
They find it all, a different story,
Notice whom for wheels are turning,
Turn again and turn towards this time,
All she ask's the strength to hold me,
Then again the same old story,
World will travel, oh so quickly,
Travel first and lean towards this time.

Oh, I'll break them down, no mercy shown,
Heaven knows, it's got to be this time,
Watching her, these things she said,
The times she cried,
Too frail to wake this time.

Oh I'll break them down, no mercy shown
Heaven knows, it's got to be this time,
Avenues all lined with trees,
Picture me and then you start watching,
Watching forever, forever,
Watching love grow, forever,
Letting me know, forever.

New Order - The Perfect Kiss

I stood there beside myself
Thinking hard about the weather
They came by a friend of mine
Suggested we go out together
Then I knew it from the start
This friend of mine would fall apart
Pretending not to see his guilt
I said "Let's go out and have some fun"

I know you know
We believe in a land of love
I know you know
We believe in a land of love

I have always thought about
Staying in and going out
Tonight I should have stayed at home
Playing with my pleasure zone
He has always been so strange
I'd often thought he was deranged
Pretending not to see his gun
I said "Let's go out and have some fun"

I know you know
We believe in a land of love
I know you know
We believe in a land of love

When you are alone at night
You search yourself for all the things that you believe are right
If you give it all away
You throw away your only chance to be here today
Then a fight breaks out on your street
You lose another broken heart in a land of meat
My friend he took his final breath
Now I know the perfect kiss is the kiss of death

New Order - Bizarre Love Triangle

Every time I think of you
I feel shot right through with a bolt of blue
It's no problem of mine but it's a problem I find
Living a life that I can't leave behind

There's no sense in telling me
The wisdom of a fool won't set you free
But that's the way that it goes
And it's what nobody knows
While every day my confusion grows

Every time I see you falling
I get down on my knees and pray
I'm waiting for that final moment
You'll say the words that I can't say

I feel fine and I feel good
I'm feeling like I never should
Whenever I get this way I just don't know what to say
Why can't we be ourselves like we were yesterday

I'm not sure what this could mean
I don't think you're what you seem
I do admit to myself
That if I hurt someone else
Then I'll never see just what we're meant to be

Every time I see you falling
I get down on my knees and pray
I'm waiting for that final moment
You'll say the words that I can't say

New Order - Temptation

Heaven, a gateway, a hope
Just like a feeling inside, it's no joke
And though it hurts me to treat you this way
Betrayed by words, I'd never heard, too hard to say

Up, down, turn around
Please don't let me hit the ground
Tonight I think I'll walk alone
I'll find my soul as I go home.

Each way I turn, I know I'll always try
To break this circle that's been placed around me
From time to time, I find I've lost some need
That was urgent to myself, I do believe

Up, down, turn around
Please don't let me hit the ground
Tonight I think I'll walk alone
I'll find my soul as I go home.

Oh, you've got green eyes
Oh, you've got blue eyes
Oh, you've got gray eyes
Oh, you've got green eyes
Oh, you've got blue eyes
Oh, you've got gray eyes
And I've never met anyone quite like you before
No, I've never met anyone quite like you before
Thoughts from above hit the people down below
People in this world, we have no place to go
Oh, it's the last time
Oh, I've never met anyone quite like you before

New Order - True faith

I feel so extraordinary
Something's got a hold on me
I get this feeling I'm in motion
A sudden sense of liberty

I don't care 'cos I'm not there
And I don't care if I'm here tomorrow
Again and again I've taken too much
Of the thing that costs you too much

I used to think that the day would never come
I'd see the light in the shade of the morning sun
My morning sun is the drug that brings me near
To the childhood I lost replaced by fear
I used to think that the day would never come
That my life would depend on the morning sun

When I was a very small boy
Very small boys talked to me
Now that we've grown up together
They're afraid of what they see

That's the price that we all pay
Value destiny comes to nothing
I can't tell you where we're going
I guess there's just no way of knowing

I used to think that the day would never come
I'd see the light in the shade of the morning sun
My morning sun is the drug that brings me near
To the childhood I lost replaced by fear
I used to think that the day would never come
That my life would depend on the morning sun

I feel so extraordinary
Something's got a hold on me
I get this feeling I'm in motion
A sudden sense of liberty

The chances are we've gone too far
You took my time and you took my money
Now I feel you've left me standing
In a world that's so demanding

I used to think that the day would never come
I'd see the light in the shade of the morning sun
My morning sun is the drug that brings me near
To the childhood I lost replaced by fear
I used to think that the day would never come
That my life would depend on the morning sun
