Joy Division - Failures Lyrics
Don't speak of safe Messiahs
Failure of the modern man
To the center of all life's desires
As a whole, not an also ran
Joy Division - Komakino Lyrics
This is the hour when the mysteries emerge
A strangeness so hard to reflect
A moment so moving, goes straight to your heart
The vision has never been met
Joy Division - Leaders of Men Lyrics
Born from some mother's womb
Just like any other room
Made a promise for a new life
Made a victim out of your life
Joy Division - No Love Lost Lyrics
So long sitting here
Didn't hear the warning
Waiting for the tape to run
Joy Division - Novelty Lyrics

'Cause you've got to work so hard for everything you've got
Can't rest on your laurels now not when you've got none
You'll find yourself in a gutter right back where you came from
