Love Will Tear Us Apart

[CitizenKabuto]

When the routine bites hard
And ambitions are low
And the resentment rides high
But emotions wont grow
And were changing our ways,
Taking different roads
Then love, love will tear us apart again

Why is the bedroom so cold
Turned away on your side?
Is my timing that flawed,
Our respect run so dry?
Yet theres still this appeal
That weve kept through our lives
Love, love will tear us apart again

Do you cry out in your sleep
All my failings expose?
Get a taste in my mouth
As desperation takes hold
Is it something so good
Just cant function no more?
When love, love will tear us apart again

-Ian Curtis- R.I.P. 1956-1980

I ADORE that song :D so much!

[CitizenKabuto]

Yeah I can honestly say it still moves me after all these years. Ian would have been one of the finest songwriters and singers of his generation. :( I still get so sad thinking about his demise.

I do love it too.

I also love Atmosphere. So much that it's the ringtone on my cellphone.

Wow I haven't heard that song it years, I'm surprised I remembered it. I always thought it had really well-written lyrics..you know they really felt that way.

i listen to that cd probably once a month at my office. that song is certainly timeless sounding b/c it's so minimal.

[Ample Pie]

I agree, such a great song and CD.

another of my favorite songs...
He was cut and then there was no fear
The dogs of hell within unborn
And like a ghost without an atmosphere
His voice sang without a song

Singing to the ships as the foghorns blow
Shipping light where darkness hides
The night was blind but it did see him go
For in this dark his light survives

Go away
Leave us alone
We don't know yet
Who you are
So far
From home

He stands before them as they judge his life
His shadow reaching underneath
He will fight he will reveal his knife
They will question his belief

They will shatter all his teeth
Blood from his mouth in darkness he can see
His suicide is love reborn
And hanging from a noose in secrecy
His mind and spirit will divorce

Go away
Leave us alone
We don't know yet
Who you are
So far
From home

I LOVE that song. I listen to it specifically about once a month or so.
