Woke up today thinking about Joy Division. Remembered the moment i heard Ian suicided. Wondered why i was so long so totally under the spell. Choking brutal sadness, like a sea of tears touched. Looked up some texts. Holy sh*t, today 35 years ago!!
Novelty
When people listen to you, don't you know it means a lot?
'Cause you've got to work so hard for everything you got
Can't rest on your laurels now, not when you've got none
You find yourself in the gutter, right back where you came from
Someone told me being in the know is the main thing
We all need the security that belonging brings
Can't stand on your own in these times, 'gainst all the odds
I don't wanna act all cool, like all the other sods
You slap our backs and pretend you knew
About all the things that we were gonna do
Whatcha gonna do, whatcha gonna do
When it's over?
You're on your own, now; don'tcha think that it's a shame?
But you're the only one responsible that's to blame
When you gonna grow up and act, and be yourself?
'Cause pretty soon you find yourself nailed to the shelf
Grab it while you can, but don't ever relax
'Cause there's always someone gonna stab your back
Whatcha gonna do, whatcha gonna do
When it's over?
