| Track history |
| No studio recording by Joy Division, but later recorded twice by New Order |
| Live performance on May 2nd 1980 at Birmingham University released on Still
(the recording starts in the middle of the song; only the final verse is clearly audible) |
| A salvaged rehearsal performance was released on Heart and Soul |
| Lyrics |
| The first two verses are taken from a New Order recording |
| This is why events un-nerve me
They find it all a different story Notice whom for wheels are turning Turn again and turn towards this time All she asks is the strength to hold me Then again the same old story Word will travel - oh so quickly Travel first and lean towards this time I'll break them down, no mercy shown Heaven knows, it's got to be this time Watching her, these things she said The times she cried, too frail to wake this time The final verse is taken from Still |
| I'll break them down, no mercy shown
Heaven knows, it's got to be this time Avenues all lined with trees Picture me and then you start watching Watching forever - watching forever Watching love grow - forever Letting me know - forever |
