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

Other bands in Pop / Rock history not even changed its names after having changed theire music style… Fleetwood Mac, Dandy Warhols, Kings Of Leon etc… why should they? It's kind of cool to further develop.   
However… Long live RP! 


yep. Fleetwood is the textbook example of this.

The past is a great place and I don't want to erase it or to regret it,
but I don't want to be its prisoner either.

Not as many good songs on this album as others.  Would like to here Run from Technique...as I think that better represents the newer New Order.

Much of their catalogue is brilliant.

I like how this resonates with me on so many levels. When it came out I was running a private language school in the surreal seascape wilds of the Noto Peninsula in Ishikawa, Japan; as in the lyrics of this gem, love often shows greatest promise just before it falls apart...

One of the loudest bands I saw "back in the day", defying their genre, serotype, etc.

While not my fave disc, it's still great. I dig their first albums which were VERY close to Joy Division in their sound...a natural progression of punk and electronics.

Wow, just watched Control.  Hard to believe this has anything to do with Joy Division.

This takes me back to my first (and to this day, only) trip to the US back in autumn '93. I listened to this song on the plane.
I listened to this song on Virgin Airways flying to Europe in June 1994 to visit about six Euro cities with people from high school (educational tours, EF program) following graduation. Hanging with one guy friend made things more bearable. Got to talk to the penpals I had by phone, which was neat. It would be really nice to go back. See the same stuff and more without a time constraint.

There as so many great NO songs - but this is one of my absolute faves - a little slice of perfect post-modern pop music.

Reminds me of those days in the early 90's after the first real love of my life had dumped my ass for the last time and I was in that mindless wandering stage looking for new relationships, many of which were pointless and bad. I can remember many drunken nights pining away over the old girl, calling her on the phone, and feeling like a complete fool for doing so afterwards. The word that most approximated that feeling.... Regret.

I like the first Electronic CD a lot myself. Raise the Pressure is much different. I actually like it, but again it sort of tails off towards the end. The one that came after that (Twisted Tenderness, I think the title is) is also very good. Probably my favorite of the three.
