Unknown Pleasures (1979)

"I've been waiting for a guide to come and take me by the hand"

"Where will it end?"

"I'm not afraid anymore, I'm not afraid anymore"

"A loaded gun won't set you free"

"We'll give you everything and more
The strain's too much, can't take much more"

"In a room with a window in the corner I found truth"

"Me in my own world, the one that you knew"
We were strangers, far way too long"

Closer (1980)

"Mother I tried, please believe me
I'm doing the best that I can
I'm ashamed of the things I've been put through
I'm ashamed of the person I am"

"Can I go on with this train of events? Disturbing and purging my mind
Back out of my duties, when all's said and done
I know that I'll lose every time"

"In you, in you, in you, put my trust in you, in you"

"Just for one moment I thought I'd found my way
Destiny unfolded, I watched it slip away"

"Got to find some therapy, this treatment takes too long
Deep in the heart of where sympathy held sway
Got to find my destiny before it gets too late"

"Try to cry out in the heat of the moment
Possessed by a fury that burns from inside"

"Here are the young men, well where have they been?"

Still (1981)

"Love, life, makes you feel higher
Yeah the only mistake, like I made once before
Yeah the only mistake, could have made it before"

"All dressed in uniforms so fine
They drank and killed to pass the time
Wearing the shame of all their crimes
With measured steps they walked in line
They walked in line"

"We would go on as though
nothing was wrong
And hide from these days we remain all alone
Staying in the same place, just staying out the time"

Substance (1988)

"Here, here, everything is kept inside
So take a chance and step outside
Your hopes, your dreams, your paradise
Heroes, idols cracked like ice"

"Say you've tried, say you tried
Yeah, lose some sleep and say you tried"

"Walk in silence
Don't walk away, in silence"

"You cry out in your sleep, all my failings expose
There's a taste in my mouth, as desperation takes hold
Just that something so good just can't function no more
When love, love will tear us apart again"

"Can you stay, for these days?"
