What is your favorite New Order tune?

[bobthedrummer]

Mine's "Confusion"

[fishnfla]

1. low life

not you, the song

[flamingyouth]

2. Age of Consent

[bobthedrummer]

5. 10 c.c. also has a song titled "Age of Consent"

and every State has laws about it too!

[NashVegas]

14. "And I'm Not the Kind That Likes to Tell Yoooooooooooooouu - ooh ooh!"

:)

That's my favorite, too.

[ixion]

3. Love Vigilantes

kind of a pop tune, but it's still one of my favs...but all things considered, I liked'em much better when they were Joy Division. Ian Curtis was an incredible lyricist. I listened to them all through college, and still today.

[Scottie72]

Here is a second on that song..

Just love the lyrics!

[ixion]

13. yep, awesome lyrics

New Order
Love Vigilantes

Oh I've just come
From the land of the sun
From a war that must be won
In the name of truth
With our soldiers so brave
your freedom we will save
With our rifles and grenades
And some help from God
I want to see my family
My wife and child waiting for me
I've got to go home
I've been so alone, you see

You just can't believe
The joy I did recieve
When I finally got my leave
And I was going home
Oh I flew through the sky
my convictions could not lie
For my country I would die
And I will see it soon
I want to see my family
My wife and child waiting for me
I've got to go home
I've been so alone, you see

When I walked through the door
My wife she lay upon the floor
And with tears her eyes were sore
I did not know why
Then I looked into her hand
And I saw the telegram
That said that I was a brave, brave man
But that I was dead
I want to see my family
My wife and child waiting for me
I've got to go home
I've been so alone, you see



It's one of those that needs to be played loud. ;-)

[NashVegas]

15. I Love That One, Too

And it's so timely right now. :(

[gold_bug]

4. "Subculture"

But there's so many great ones to choose from.

[AliceWonderland]

23. Agreed, Sub-Culture. But so many great

ones to choose from, it's a toughie.

[Devlzown]

6. True Faith

[cosmicdot]

20. True Faith (the Morning Sun) - also

Joy Division Unknown Pleasures June, 1979

I must have been living in a no-fun zone ... totally missed this release

http://www.neworderonline.com/

True Faith (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
I don't care 'cause I'm not there
And I don't care if I'm here tomorrow
Again and again I've taken too much
Of all the things that cost you too much

I used to think that the day would never come
I'd see delight 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
And the value of destiny comes to nothing
I can't tell you where we're going
I guess there was just no way of knowing

I used to think that the day would never come
I'd see delight 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 fear 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 delight 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...
