Except on GR, as part of the attempt to be more commercial.

good point patrick. i want to know what made them change the titles of Close Range (Dream On) and Sabotage (Run This River Dry). i assume it was so not every song would have the title in the lyrics but who know's for sure?

i really dont want to know, actually.

...i guess "Dream On" because of the Depeche Mode single released at the same time...and "Run this river dry" because they already have a song with a "run" in the title on GetReady, "Run Wild"...not very logical but plausible... :D

One GR track I'm glad they changed to have a title from the lyrics is Turn My Way; my recollection is that earlier it was referred to as something like Shipwreck of a Broken Man. That would have been a really awful title.

If all songs would have been named in the traditional way there would have been titles like: The Land Of Love, How Does It Feel, I Want You, I've Don It Before And I'll Do It Again or even A Conversation On The Telephone. That's why! :)

Yeah - that's all very well but nobody - least of all the rest of New Order themselves, counted on "Thieves Like Us" not only not featuring anywhere in the song, but its original anagrammatic title of "Kes, U Evil Shite" remained unrevealed until only recently. Now that's what I call Perverse!!!

Temptation II, Son of Subculture, Shellshock Jr. etc.?

Oh - incase you were wondering where I found that ace anagram - it's posted at the bottom of an older thread of mine, by Big Boy Tomato. Fucking genius!!!

OK, Jeff, I see what you mean.

Hey, now there is a different way of looking at it!!!!!!!!
