Joy Division Page #10

Everything else is merchandising.

Merchandising of memory.

We're living in a time

where brands are everything.

But Joy Division went beyond all that

because you could simply trust

what they were doing.

Joy Division in particular,

Factory in general, Ian's story,

is one of the last true stories in pop.

There are very few true stories

in a business-dominated pop culture.

Yes, it's a fabulous story,

the story of the rebuilding of a city

that begins with them,

the story of a tragic suicide,

a moral story,

and a cultural, academic, intellectual,

aesthetic story.

The heart of it is only here

'cause they wrote great songs,

and great songs never die.

Walk in silence

Don't walk away in silence

See the danger

Always danger

Endless talking

Life rebuilding

Don't walk away

Walk in silence

Don't turn away in silence

Your confusion

My illusion

Worn like a mask of self-hate

Confronts and then dies

Don't walk away

People like you find it easy

Naked to see

Walking on air

Hunting by the rivers

Through the streets

Every corner

Abandoned too soon

Set down with due care

Don't walk away in silence

Don't walk away
