Joy Division was a post-punkband formed in 1976 in Salford, Greater Manchester. The band dissolved in May 1980 after the suicide of its lead singer, Ian Curtis. The remaining members reformed as New Orderand they have gone on to achieve much critical and commercial success. With their dark, cavernous sound and their use of synthesizers and electronics, Joy Division are considered the pioneering band of the post-punk movement of the late 1970s and the early 1980s. Though they found only modest success during their career, and released only two studio albums, Joy Division have since been acclaimed as one of the most inventive, evocative and influential groups of their era; Thom Jurek writes "They left just a small bit of music and an echo that still rings".

Glass Lyrics
Joy Division
Hearts fail - young hearts fail
Anytime - pressurised
Overheat - overtired
Take it quick - take it neat
Clasp your hands - touch your feet
Take it quick - take it neat --
Hearts fail - young hearts fail
Anytime - wearing down
On the run - underground
Put your hand where its safe
Leave your hand where its safe
Do it again
Do it again and again and again --
Anytime - thats your right
Told ya we should do it again
Overheat - overtired
Dont you wish to do it again --
Anytime - thats all right
Dont you wish to do it again --
I bet you wish you do it again
Do it again --
In the genetic demo version the previous verse is replaced by:
Anytime - thats your right
Bet you wish youd done it again
Anytime - thats your right
Turn around and do it again --
Do it again - do it again
Do it again and again and again --
