New Order - Regret

REGRET

Maybe I've forgotten the name and the address
Of everyone I've ever known
It's nothing I regret
Save it for another day
It's the school exam and the kids have run away

I would like a place I could call my own
Have a conversation on the telephone
Wake up every day that would be a start
I would not complain of my wounded heart

I was upset you see
Almost all the time
You used to be a stranger
Now you are mine

I wouldn't even trust you
I've not got much to give
We're dealing in the limits
And we don't know who with
You may think that I'm out of hand
That I'm naive, I'll understand
On this occasion, it's not true
Look at me, I'm not you

I would like a place I could call my own
Have a conversation on the telephone
Wake up every day that would be a start
I would not complain of my wounded heart

I was a short fuse
Burning all the time
You were a complete stranger
Now you are mine

I would like a place I could call my own
Have a conversation on the telephone
Wake up every day that would be a start
I would not complain about my wounded heart

Just wait till tomorrow
I guess that's what they all say
Just before they fall apart

:::3rd May 1993::: Twenty years ago today, New Order released its sixth album, 'Republic,' featuring the singles "Regret," "Ruined in a Day," "world (The Price of Love)" and "Spooky" | How's everyone feel about this one?

This is probably an unpopular opinion but I much prefer New Order to Joy Division. They epitomised the 90s for me.

[101philosopha101]

[Daniel Frohlich]

Bands that make me smile; NEW ORDER and THE BLUE COLLARS. Real music is still out there.

I reckon Curtis would have done a much better job on the vocals here, the song just suits his voice more
