Joy Division - New Dawn Fades (Live)

Recorded at the Rainbow Theatre, London, November 9th 1979

A change of speed, a change of style
A change of scene, with no regrets
A chance to watch, admire the distance
Still occupied, though you forget
Different colours, different shades
Over each mistakes were made
I took the blame
Directionless so plain to see
A loaded gun won't set you free
So you say

We'll share a drink and step outside
An angry voice and one who cried
I'll give you everything and more
The strain's too much, can't take much more
I've walked through water, danced through fire
Can't seem to take it anymore
It was me, waiting for me this time
Hoping for something more
Watching it fade away
Watching it fade away
Watching it fade away
[?]
Watching it fade away

that drumming

[defmac]

they have the lyrics, but notable, they say 'a loaded gun won't set you free' but he actually says,

"a loaded gun won't set ME free"

Watching it fade away [hoping for something more] watching it fade away.
