NEW ORDER Special

It isn't what it used to be
I wake up every night
On the stairs
Waiting for the dawn to come
Every drop of wine
You can be my time
Only tomorrow knows
Why do we beg when we can borrow
This time we knew
No more or less
There's nothing left

It was always special
It was like water down the drain
I'm intoxicated
Every time I hear your name
I try to remember
But nothing is the same

It wasn't that I didn't try
It's not the kind of thing, that you buy
Written in my destiny
Life is but a dream
Covered by the sky
Stop saying that you're calling time
Look at your life before you start on mine
I'm not the kind of person that you need
I'm sick of trying
I mean that it's over

It was always special
It was like water down the drain
I'm intoxicated
Every time I hear your name
I try to remember
But nothing is the same
It was always special
it was like water down the drain

Patiently you wait for me
You're so blind
I thought it couldn't be
Then changed my mind
Drowning in the endless sea
Line all those lines
The traces of your memory
Don't belong with mine

Nice video. How did you upload it? Whenever I try to upload a NW song it won't allow me to do it?

hello!normal je possède tous les albums de New Order en CD ,je suis fan...

[mutedisease]

Totally agree with several of the comments here, this song is extremely underrated by both, fans and the band itself. What an amazing melody it´s got!!!

[Earthling86]

Republic is one of my favourite albums of all time

I'm intoxicated. Every time I hear your name. I try to remember, but nothing is the same . . . Excellent words; from an excellent song; from an excellent CD; from an excellent group. Thanks for the upload.

I'm going to see them again at Benicassim. I thought they were gone forever but they've been confirmed today. Awesome news!

Life is but a dream, covered by the sky! I've loved that line for nearly 20 years!

Abit like the years of my life "Water down the drain" spent many years buying nothing but NO 82' > on vinyl and never met anyone who shared my taste! I discovered JD later 86' sort of back to front really !! But NO have always been the ultimate for me, I don't feel I have ever connected with any other band like NO, alround Quality and missed. R.I.P NO.
