ceremony lyrics (%)

What percentage of the lyrics to New Order's Ceremony are Barney's and how much are originally Ian's?

I would guess Ian's make up about 85% percent.

I can't be bothered to compare them right now, but why don't you compare the NO version with the version on Heart & Soul?

I don't reckon they're much different...

I believe that's what I did, along with comparing the NO version to the Birmingham U soundcheck and the one on Still.

If you've already done it, why ask?

Perhaps you want us to check your maths on the percentage...:D

I've not done the math. Sounding the number of relative contributed lyrics of each person sounds dreadfully boring. I'm just asking for educated guesses, but surely some anal person will do it numerically.

Are you suggesting that someone on this forum is that sad?

someone wrote this once...

pressure's high and failed(?) unnerving when they tell the same old story but it's why the wheels are turning turn away and turn again this time thought i heard the saviour calling time again and we will be there notice that the tide walks higher think again and change its flow this time

i'll break them all, no mercy shown heaven knows i've got to get somewhere watching her, a sinking ship - that empty and quiet sailed away this time.

i'll break them all, no mercy shown heaven knows i've got to be somewhere avenues all lined with trees picture me in tenuous times

watching forever... forever... watching forever...

Is this one of those English-Japanese-English translation efforts?

In the booklet to the Factory Japanese 4 CD boxset, the lyrics to "Exercise One" have been translated as "Turn down your TV/Turn down your audiophone" (WTF?)

I believe it's an attempt at figuring out the lyrics to the demo version on Heart and Soul.

We'll be all right once Hooky produces the original handwritten lyric sheet (in triplicate) from under the loose floor-board in his bedroom.

And there was me thinking that Intermission would have it.....

And there was me thinking that Intermission would have it..... Not bloody likely. He'd sooner have Ian's head in a jar.

I've got that box set, i wonder what the lyrics say in japanese.

Are there any NOOLers who can read Japanese characters?

If so I could scan the page in...
