I can't take credit for this post...

Well I can for finding it, but, having listened to this song, I just want to sit and burst into tears. It is one of those songs from my youth I never quite understood, but totally loved, and now I understand it, and am just broken to bursting point with the lyrics. Damn you New Order, you wrote the song of my childhood. I just never knew it at the time. <3 you to shreds though, you were always one of my favourite listens.

True Faith


I feel so extraordinary
Something's got a hold on me
I get this feeling i'm in motion
A sudden sense of liberty


I don't care 'cus i'm not there
And i don't care if i'm here tomorrow
Again and again, i've taken too much
Of the things that cost you too much


I used to think that the day would never come
I'd see delight in the shade of the morning sun
My morning sun is the drug that brings me near
To the childhood I lost, replaced by fear
I used to think that the day would never come
That my life would depend on the morning sun


When I was a very small boy
Very small boys talked to me
Now that we've grown up together
They're afraid of what they see
(Note: Interestingly, the original lyrics on this line were: Now they're taking drugs with me)


That's the price that we all pay
Our valued destiny comes to nothing
I can't tell you where we're going
I guess there's just no way of knowing


I used to think that the day would never come
Id see delight in the shade of the morning sun
My morning sun is the drug that brings me near
To the childhood I lost, replaced by fear
I used to think that the day would never come
That my life would depend on the morning sun


I feel so extraordinary
Somethings got a hold on me
I get this feeling i'm in motion
A sudden sense of liberty


The chances are we've gone too far
You took my time and you took my money
Now I feel you've left me standing
In a world that's so demanding


I used to think that the day would never come
I'd see delight in the shade of the morning sun
My morning sun is the drug that brings me near
To the childhood I lost, replaced by fear
I used to think that the day would never come
That my life would depend on the morning sun


I used to think that the day would never come
I'd see delight in the shade of the morning sun
My morning sun is the drug that brings me near
To the childhood I lost, replaced by fear
I used to think that the day would never come
I'd see delight in the shade of the morning sun
