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".

Joy Division
... 3, 4 warsaw!
Dont talk to me girl, you know its not nice.
Dont laugh at murder, I wont pay the price.
The facts are too high-powered, so sickened thrill,
Id give that mess up cos it makes you so ill.
Blame bad things on me, whatever you do.
When I come home I will be different from you.
Youre such a chictalk, youre really trussed up.
Dont wanna talk to you, just left me your mum.
Dont be a puppet, always rush you around.
One just for you photo, try and tire me down.
I wont tell him I talk like this all night,
He must be worried cos youre sounding so trite.
Respect is only normal, the way to our lives.
Ever tried to sleep around with a bed for a wife.
Well never change you, if you start acting that way.
If do keep mouths all open, Ill never get a say.
You know whats special, its as dark as I say.
Can you see me, just ourselves,
No comment, copycat!
