New Order - Temptation '87

A heaven, a gateway, a hope
Just like the feeling inside, it's no joke
And though it hurts me to treat you this way
Betrayed by words, I'd never heard, too hard to say
Up, down, turn around
Please don't let me hit the ground
Tonight I think I'll walk alone
I'll find my soul as I go home

Each way I turn, I know I'll always try
To break this circle that's been placed around me
From time to time, I find I've lost some need
That was urgent to myself, I do believe
Up, down, turn around
Please don't let me hit the ground
Tonight I think I'll walk alone
I'll find my soul as I go home

Oh, you've got green eyes
Oh, you've got blue eyes
Oh, you've got grey eyes
And I've never seen anyone quite like you before
No, I've never met anyone quite like you before
Thoughts from above hit the people down below
People in this world, we have no place to go
Oh, it's the last time
Oh, I've never met anyone quite like you before
Oh no, I've never met anyone quite like you before

ONCE UPON A TIME IN A LAND FAR FAR AWAY FROM ME NOW-I WORE OUT MY TAPE-OVER AND OVER ON A PORTABLE GHETTOBLASTER-MY YOUTH, MY SUN-AUSTRALIA HOME OF MY BIRTH,THOSE DAYS OF OLD WHEN I WAS REGULARLY INTOXICATED-TOO MANY IRISH PUBS IN ONE NIGHT, RAVES AND DISCO, HOUSE PARTYS AND BBQ- TIME FLIES -SAND SLIPS THU HANDS AND FINGERS-OH FOR IMMORTALITY-SWEET DESOLATION

I saw New Order, Echo/Bunnymen & Gene Loves Jezebel in 1987 at Irvine Meadows -- same night -- Echo & Gene opened for NO. A good friend and I snuck in thru the marshes, nearly got arrested, nearly shit our pants a few times, got muddy as hell, but we jumped the fence and under the cover of darkness got in at last! An EPIC evening, will never forget that night, those hours, days and years! Thanks to this music, my youth will never die. As for my buddy, Chris, love you forever where ever you are.

WHAT A TOTALLY AMAZING AND THE BEST EVER FART I JUST DID.

Great song. Just saw them live tonight in Melbourne - superb. Brought back so many memories of my teens in the 80's listening to SUBSTANCE every day for a year. One of the best bands and songs ever.

I was discovering NO in the mid-80s as a young boy of 14 or so when I first heard Temptation. And I knew that I had never heard anything quite like it before. And though I would hear many wonderful songs in the coming years, Temptation would always hold a special place in my heart for so many reasons. Halcyon days, my friends. Halcyon days.

@BanditosYankees I saw the same tour at Pine Knob outside of Detroit...Peter Hook with his bass hanging down by his knees. I could have done without Gene Loves Jezebel. Every time I mention that line-up young kids just stare in disbelief.
