Unknown Pleasures

Closer

Joy Division were a post-punk band formed in 1976 in Salford, Greater Manchester, United Kingdom. The band dissolved in May 1980 after the suicide of its lead singer, Ian Curtis. Much of their popularity/reputation arguably resulted from frequent playings on air by iconic DJ John Peel, but it is easy now to overlook the impact that the first album, Unknown Pleasures, had on post-punk music at the time, as reference the number of prominent bands that cited this album as an influence.

Verse 1

Dm					     	C
Here are the young men, the weight on their shoulders,
Dm					     C
Here are the young men, well where have they been?
Dm					C
We knocked on the doors of Hell's darker chamber,
Dm				       	C
Pushed to the limit, we dragged ourselves in,
Dm				        C
Watched from the wings as the scenes were replaying,
Dm				    C
We saw ourselves now as we never had seen.
Dm				  C
Portrayal of the trauma and degeneration,
Dm				   C
The sorrows we suffered and never were free.

Chorus

Dm                 
Where have they been?
C
Where have they been?
Bm
Where have they been?
Bb
Where have they been?

Verse 2 (Same Chords as Verse 1)

Weary inside, now our heart's lost forever,
Can't replace the fear, or the thrill of the chase,
Each ritual showed up the door for our wanderings,
Open then shut, then slammed in our face.


Chorus

Dm                 
Where have they been?
C
Where have they been?
Bm
Where have they been?
Bb
Where have they been?

Verse 1:
       C                                        D           E
To the center of the city where all roads meet, waiting for you
       C                                         D             E
To the depths of the ocean where all hopes sank, searching for you
      C                                          D           E
I was moving through the silence without motion, waiting for you
     C                         D              E
In a room with a window in the corner I found truth


Verse 2:
       C                                       D          E
In the shadow play, acting out your own death, knowing no more
       C                                    D              E
As the assassins all grouped in four lines, dancing on the floor
         C                                               D   E
And with cold steel, odor on their bodies made a move to con-nect
    C                          D                      E
But I could only stare in disbelief as the crowds all left


Verse 3:
      C                D       E
I did everything, everything I wanted to
          C             D         E
I let them use you, for their own ends
       C                                D           E
To the center of the city in the night, waiting for you
       C                                D           E
To the center of the city in the night, waiting for you

Love Will Tear Us Apart intro

Em                 D9
A change of speed, a change of style. 
C                  A9
A change of scene, with no regrets, 
Em                 D9
A chance to watch, admire the distance,
C                A9
Still occupied, though you forget. 

Em                           D9
Different colours, different shades, 
                        C
Over each mistakes were made. 
           A9
I took the blame. 

Em                        D9
Directionless so plain to see, 
                           C
A loaded gun won't set you free. 
        A9
So you say. 


We'll share a drink and step outside, 
An angry voice and one who cried, 
'we'll give you everything and more, 
The strain's too much, can't take much more.' 
Oh, I've walked on water, run through fire, 
Can't seem to feel it anymore. 
It was me, waiting for me, 
Hoping for something more, 
Me, seeing me this time, hoping for something else.

&quot;Love Will Tear Us Apart&quot; is a song by the British post-punk band Joy Division. The lyrics were written by the band's vocalist, Ian Curtis, who committed suicide in May 1980, a month after the song was released as a single. The song was then re-promoted in 12&quot; format in June 1980.  &quot;Love Will Tear Us Apart&quot; was written in August and September of 1979 and was debuted when the band supported Buzzcocks on their UK tour in September and October 1979, and it is one of the few songs in which Ian Curtis played guitar (albeit somewhat minimally).

Verse 1:
           B
I'm going back to the time when we owned this town
      E
Down Powder Mill Lane, in the battlegrounds
C#m        B                   G#m  B     F#
We were friends and lovers and clueless clowns


Verse 2:
                      B       
I didn't know I'd be finding out now I was torn from you
         E
When we thought about things we were gonna do
C#m      B                    G#m B  F# 
We were wide eyed dreamers and wiser too


Chorus:
               E              B 
Go down to the rides on East Parade,
        G#m                   F#
by the lights of the Palace Arcade
                    E                     G#m   F#   
Watch night coming down on the Sovereign Light Café


Verse 3:
                          B
I'm begging you for some sign, but you've still got nothing to say
        E
Don't turn your back on me, don't walk away
C#m     B                   G#m  B   F#
I'm a better man now than I was that day


Chorus:
                      E              B 
Let's go down to the rides on East Parade,
        G#m                   F#
by the lights of the Palace Arcade
                    E                     G#m   F#   
Watch night coming down on the Sovereign Light Café

                 E               B
Go down to the bandstand on the pier
           G#m                    F#
Watch the drunks and the lovers appear
                      E                     G#m   F#     
Take time, just the stars at the Sovereign Light Café


Bridge:
   E        B           F#
I wheel my bike off the train,
        F#
Up the North Trade Road,
 E        B             F# 
Look for you on Marley Lane
                          G#m
In every building, every streetlight
                   E               F#  G#m  B  F#
Oh why did we ever go so far from home?


Verse 4:
                        B
You keep on leaving me mile long traces of who you are
         E
You can get a big house and a faster car
C#m      B                    G#m   B  F#
You can run away boy, but you won't go far


Chorus:
                      E              B
Let's go down to the rides on East Parade,
        G#m                   F#
by the lights of the Palace Arcade
                    E                     G#m   F#   
Watch night coming down on the Sovereign Light Café

                    E                B
Stroll down to the bandstand on the pier
           G#m                    F#
Watch the drunks and the lovers appear
                     E                      G#m   F#
Take time, just the stars at the Sovereign Light Café 

      E            B    G#m
La la la la la la la la Yeah, 
     F#                      E       B   F#
I'm going where the people know my name

I dissected each sentence but kept coming up empty

American Dream 

G Bm Em A
Well everybody's lookin' for something they can't find,
Walking straight ahead blind-folded production line,
Only taking time for one type of shoe-shine.
Don't look left/right now you got a street fine.
Everybody lookin' for just a little more.
Working late-nights trying to fight off the day glow.
Waiting for the come-around but it is a no show.
Driving in the fast lane lookin' for the slow-mo...

C D A
Oh whats in store I don't know anymore.
Oh what's inside 'cos I can't hide from it no more.
Oh what you see well it's not me anymore.
Oh I don't know well I don't know man anymore because 

G Bm Em A
I tell you once I tell you twice, gonna be a long time
But you don't take no one's advice, gonna be a long time you,
Where were you, you weren't listenin', gonna be a long time
Gonna be a long time.

G Bm Em A
So now you're face down, face lookin like a frying pan.
Hitting up the clubs trying to feel like a real man.
Beating your chest just like you're King Kong but you're just a gui-tar no-string no-song.
Feeling free like ya don't even know it, man you're towing the line hoping you just don't blow it.
Man ya stuck in the mainframe trying to win the big game so much potential it even makes it more of a shame, shame, shame...
Here we go again, same old shit just another name.
Looking at the destiny there in your palm,
But now you got your strings but you got no song.
So sing, sing, sing - shake it like a chicken wing.
It's not what you get it's about what you bring-bring-bring.
So bring it, bring it to the table, not because you have to 'cos you're willing and you're able!

C D A
Oh what's in store I don't know anymore.
Oh what's inside 'cos I can't hide from it no more.
Oh what you see well it's not me anymore.
Oh I don't know, I don't know anymore because 

G Bm Em A
I tell you once I tell you twice, gonna be a long time.
But you don't take no one's advice, gonna be a long time.
You, where were you, you weren't listening, gonna be a long time.
Gonna be a long time.

Gonna Be A Long Time

time signature goes 3/4 for 2 bars then 2/4 for 1 bar and then
repeats.

Defrost the fridge

Now the kid has gone to bed

A feeling of dread

At least when she's around

The trouble's there

You're like a mother
