"Truth" - Live at the Ukrainian National Home, New York City, 18 November 1981 (from Movement) Peter Hook on the period surrounding the writing for the album Movement:

|
Oh,
it's a strange day In such a lonely way I saw some children dance I watched my life in a trance And the people around me Seemed so glad to be here Will my time pass so slowly On the day that I fear? |
And
the noise that surrounds me Pulls so loud in my head From the promise that healed us To the lies that I said Oh,
it's a strange day |
Strange
day, Such a strange day Such a strange day |
"Procession" - Live at the Ukrainian National Home, New York City, 18 November 1981 (from Movement) |
|
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 you That just so 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 We
can't turn away |
Emotion,
destruction It's all the same to me No matter where you are It's all the same to me At night I
try so hard but this attitude's |
"Everything's Gone Green" - Live at the Ukrainian National Home, New York City, 18 November 1981 |
|
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 |
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 |
Show
me Show me Show me Show me Show me |
"Leave
Me Alone"
- from Power, Corruption & Lies (1983)
|
|
|
On
a thousand islands in the sea I see a thousand people just like me A hundred unions in the snow I watch them walking, falling in a row We live always underground It's going to be so quiet in here tonight A thousand islands in the sea It's a shame And
a hundred years ago |
From
my head to my toes From the words in the book I see a vision that would bring me luck From my head to my toes To my teeth, through my nose You get these words wrong You get these words wrong Everytime You get these words wrong I just smile But
from my head to my toes Leave me alone |
"This Time of Night" - Live at Shinjuku Koseinenkin Hall, Tokyo, 2 May 1985 (from Low-Life) |
|
We all feel the same All pleasure nothing to gain I've known you from the start I've grown used to your wooden heart Now you know my name You search your empty brain in vain If you don't change your ways You'll end up here with me unraised Without you they'll never know Now you must decide |
Without you they'll never know Without you my life won't grow Without you they'll never show Without you the night won't go Without you I'm left alone Without you I'm on my own Without you I live in pain Without you I've gone insane Whatever you may think of me |
"Subculture"
- from Low-Life (1985)
|
|
|
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 Chorus: |
I
like talking in my sleep When people work so hard They need what they can keep A choice that leaves them scars A room without a view Unveils the truth so soon And when the sun goes down You've lost what you have found Chorus: (repeat chorus)

"Bizarre Love Triangle" - Live from 1987, Stockport, England (song from Brotherhood, 1986) |
|
|
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 Every time I see you falling |
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 Every time I see you falling |
"The Perfect Kiss" - Live in Manchester studio, May 1985 (from Low-life, 1985) |
I stood there beside myself, thinking hard about the weather Then came by a friend of mine, suggested we go out together Then I knew it from the start |
He has always been so strange I 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 When you are alone at night |
"Ceremony" - Joy Division song recorded by New Order in 1981; from Substance (1987) |
|
|
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, Word will travel, oh so quickly, Travel first and lean towards this time. Oh, I'll break them down, no mercy shown, |
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. |
