New Order: As It Is When It Was @ Rotterdam 1985

New Order playing As It Is When It Was live at the Rotterdam Arena in Rotterdam, Netherlands on December 15th, 1985.

I've kept my head against the wall
I've been this way for so long now
You weren't exactly falling over yourself
When last I saw you
Well I always thought
We'd get along like a house on fire
Until you told me that I'd have to go
How can someone like you work that slow?

Whatever you think of me
You listen hard and I will make you see
Whatever you think of me
You listen hard and I will make you see

I don't feel anything no more
This state of grace is consuming me
I'm not grown up and I'm not a boy
I feel no pain and I feel no joy
Well I always thought
We'd get along like a house on fire
Until you told me that I'd have to go
How can someone like you work that slow?

Whatever you think of me
You listen hard and I will make you see
Whatever you think of me
You listen hard and I will make you see

The streets are so empty at this time of night
I'd rather walk on my own than fight
In a world where I've forgotten you
I find myself forgotten too
That's the danger of believing books
And all the lies of those thieves and crooks
We sing intellectual songs of love
From a stolen pen to a velvet glove

Pot luck depended on the night, Tower Ballroom Brum always brought out the best, I thought.

@mtaylor848 Joy Division is a great band but new order is light years better

Great song wouldn't have minded the lack of lights and dancer at their concert. Songs and music is enough!!!
