Just wait till tomorrow I guess that's what they all say just before they fall apart
Regret
I wish Barney still wrote lyrics like
To buy a drink there, its so much more reasonable I think i'll go there when it gets seasonable
Sooner than you think
most powerful probably: 'avenues all lined with trees picture me and then you start watching ...'
WATCHING FOREVER !!!! 
Some people look down on me, I hope they like what they see.
The entire Fine Time "cool chick" speech
Life is strange and life keeps getting stranger every day
Love is the cure for every evil love is the air that support the eagle
Good times around the corner, I swear it's getting warmer
there will be more, lines are what it's all about with NO...cos very often an entire song doesn't make total sense, but 1 single couplet...can blast a hole in your life.

"How many times before could you tell I couldn't care?"
Great complement to the melancholy music; it's one of those great lines that could only be delivered at the end of a crumbling relationship and both parties know it.
"You caught me at a bad time, so why don't you piss off"
from their supposed 'ballad' "Your Silent Face"
There is no room to move Or try to look away But remember, life is strange And life keeps getting stranger every day...

I like "When you turned your back on me, I knew we'd get nowhere"
I love the Ceremony lyrics which is weird because the first verse doesnt seem to make any sense whatsoever

But that would make two lines, you greedy bastard.

Hold on, whats your definition of a line? Because technically a whole song could fit into one line if you wrote really small on a big peice of paper and used /s to seperate verses. I reckon a line means a phrase or one idea, because "Life is strange" could by your definition be one line, but without "and life keeps getting stranger everyday" that first lyric isnt very interesting.
See?
That one from State of the Nation about "I don't kiss when you're around".....always gets voted one of their worst ever, but it's probably my favourite. In fact, I really, really like the SoTN's lyrics.
Dunno why, 'cos they're shit.
In a world where I'd forgotten you, I've found myself forgotten too
oops it's me being greedy too but there's so many beautiful lines I wish I'd written them myself and I don't agree Barney's lyrics are shite, the man is a genius

That's one of my big favorites, off the top of my head. I could literally go through each song and give you a list and then have to redo it several times, because it constantly evolves. I can find a new lyric or phrase or nonsensical bit in every song that at one time or another has either made me laugh, cry, or just sit in quiet awe.

Great thread,enjoying reading
"We write intellectual songs of love, from a stolen pen, to a feathered glove-- WooOOOoO"
Live: "And I never could believe it, and I never could be true, for the things that mean so much to me don't mean fuck-all to you"
I just love this bit. Ok its a bit more than one line.
I'm not grown up and I am not a boy I feel no pain and I feel no joy Well I always thought We'd get along like a house on fire In those days when the sun was warm I ran in the street where I was born
I quite often find myself singing it.
These lines got me hooked on NO:
"Oh, how I cannot bear the thought of you I said, oh, how I cannot bear the thought of you We were young and we were pure And life was just an open door I said oh, oh, how I cannot bear the thought of you"
-Face Up
"Your name might be God but you don't say that much to me Your name might be God but you don't say that much to me We might be your black sheep But you forgot us a long time ago We might be your lost sheep But it's time you remembered us now"

Er, not to be pedantic, but that was from The Perfect Kiss at the RFH? Face Up was the first song and was the usual cringer.
Best for me was TPK at De Panne Festival in August 84 "A fight breaks out upon your street, you lose another broken heart in the land of need. My friend he took his final breath, oh now I know the perfect kiss is the kiss of death." Delivery as much as the words were just great, very melancholy and not the usual throwaway.
Also think ICB has some of the best lyrics..
mil wrote: "Oh how I cannot bear the thought of you"

Isnt it "picture me and then you stop watching"? When they played Ceremony live they most often carried two verses of this and dropped the first and original one "watching her, these things she said, the times she cried, too frail to wake this time" ...which was a pity really.

Dont know if there are 'definitive' Procession lyrics but I always thought it went "A mass of harmless attitudes attack then wont subside, no matter what they say to you your heart beats you, late at night." On the 7" it sounds like "No matter what they say you need your happy tune, late at night"
And they gave him away Like in "Whistle Down The Wind" By the look on his face He never gave in
--VANISHING POINT--
"there was a time I called before, When all I knew was what I saw" (Love less)
Well, they're a thousand ( 
) lines from New Order that I love, in fact…
Nice question…
Got to be the entire lyrics from Vanashing point for me.
Grow up children dont you suffer at the hands of one another,life is a sleeping demon listen can you hear hem weeping,tears of joy and tears of sorrow he buys love to sell tomorrow... My life aint no holiday ,i've been to the point of no return........
Sheer class!
Yeah got to go with the last post about vanashing point mainly the lines that go Ive seen what a man can do Ive seen all the HATE of a woman to.
CRIES AND WHISPERS Ship sails out to sea,away from me,i just stand and stare.
'I'm gonna live till I die. I'm gonna live to get high.'
'This is why events unnerve me.'
'Up. Down. Turn around. Please don't let me hit the ground. Tonight I'll think I'll walk alone. Find my soul as I go home.'
'What does this ship bring to me Far across the restless sea Waiting for the sirens' call I've never seen it here before
There she plies a lonely trade Cutting through the breaking waves Drifting slowly from her course She is lost forever more
We all want some kind of love But sometimes it's not enough To the wall and through the door With a stranger on the shore
I won't desert you I don't know what to say I really hurt you I nearly gave it all away
I've got it all wrong Cause you were not the wrong one And I don't know where to turn when you're gone When you're gone
Gotta catch the midnight train First to Paris then to Spain Travel with a document All across the continent
City life is flying by The wheels are turning all the while Get on board we can't be late Our destination cannot wait
All the stars and all the worlds Filling up this universe Could never be as close as us Will never shine as bright on us
I won't desert you I don't know what to say I really hurt you I nearly gave it all away
I've got it all wrong Cause you were not the wrong one And I don't know where to turn when you're gone When you're gone
I won't desert you I don't know what to say I really hurt you I nearly gave it all away
I've got it all wrong Cause you were not the wrong one And I don't know where to turn when you're gone
How many times must I lose my way, hey How many words do I have to say, hey What can I do just to make you see That you're so good for a man like A man like me'
'I just want you to be mine I don't want this world to shine I don't want this bridge to burn Oh Johnny do you miss me? I just want to feel free I will always feel free I will always feel free I will always feel free I will always feel free'
G---7---7---7---7---7---7-------7---7---7---7---7---7-- D-5---5---5---5---5---5---5---0---0---0---0---0---0----
Yeah a bunch of these are repeats...
"Life is strange / and life keeps getting stranger everyday"
"It's gonna be so quiet in here tonight"
"I've spent a lifetime working on you / and you won't even talk to me"
"You were a complete stranger / now you are mine"
"...don't want to have to work / like other people do"
"now that we've grown up together / they're afraid of what they see"
"There's so many ways to kill someone / like in a love affair / when love has gone"
Jeezus, they are a depressing band.
that's the thing though.
When you are depressed, there are a million bands who can strike a chord with you, come close to saying something of the troubles and pains tearing through your soul. ONLY New Order can strike a chord with you, hook you in (no pun intended), and then express the precise nature of what you feel in 2 lines...then get on with just blissing you out. Sometimes it's not even words, it's just that (not even going to TRY adjectives) bass, or those huge warm, utterly wrong string parts (RIAD, Krafty,Run Wild)...sometimes it's the way the reverb dies at the end of a track.
New Order and even more so JD, are the difference between crashing into the the black hole, and slingshotting around it and flying far and free.
I'll fuck up now.
Every Time I see You Falling/I get down on my knees & pray-BLT
"We're Like Crystal-we break easy" Crystal
"now that we've grown up together, they're all doing drugs with me" True Faith live
"cause if you mess with me, I'll get rid of you" Round & Round
The line that I Always hear in my head, especially when Im annoyed by everyone and everything:
'Ive heard it all before, Ive heard it all before, I cant hear it ANYMORE....'
the absolute greatest line ever from a NooOhdah choon...
You'll realise you can't shaft without someone else
So many brilliant lyrics - its worth reading this thread from the start.
Personal faves:
Fine time - Barney White stylings
Turn - I feel your presence everywhere, in the corner over there (BECAUSE the rest of the lyrics are so good). Same goes for 'why don't you piss off'
Lonesome Tonight.
Run Wild.
HURT - I am determined, that there will be, no more mistakes.
LOADs more
One from Monaco - Tell it to your sister & tell it to your brother, just how much you missed them, while you don't even bother. My kids LOVE singing along to that one in the car!
Personal favourite is "I stood there beside myself" (Perfect Kiss, for those that had forgotten)- simple but clever at the same time.
Doubt we will ever hear it again live at a NO gig, but there you go!
The sea was very rough It made me feel sick But i like that kind of stuff It beats arithmatic
Oh you've got blue eyes, oh you've green eyes, ooooooh you've got greeeeeeyyyyyyyy eyes ! (Temptation)
Ever since i saw your face this life of mine has gone to waste.
Oh, how i cannot bare the thought of you
Johnny wrote: The sea was very rough It made me feel sick But i like that kind of stuff It beats arithmatic
Oh god yeah! Forgot that one! It strikes a chord with me as I was hopeless at maths at school
There's no food on my plateSo we beg and we steal For we know love is real.
That resembles so much my life! :(
I do admit to myself That if i hurt someone else Then i'll never see Just what we're meant to be
I know it's more than one line but what great lines these are
The days turned into months and years, I can't forget that you were here,I feel your presence everywhere, In the corner over there - Turn
Ijust can't help thinking what you've done to me, You built a wall of love and tore it right down in front of me, And you think you know what's going on You keep telling me that I am wrong I don't care about what you do But if you mess with me I'll get rid of you - Round And Round
I don't know what to say, you don't care anyway I'm a man in a rage, with a girl I betrayed - Crystal
Every man, and every woman Needs someone, So keep it coming, Keep it coming .... - Crystal
But if Jesus comes to take your hand I won't let go, I won't let go - Run Wild
Nothing in this world Can touch the music that I heard When I woke up this morning - Dream Attack
"My friend, he took his final breath, now I know the perfect kiss is the kiss of death." "When I was a very small boy, very small boys talked to me. Now that we've grown up together, they're afraid of what they see." "Johnny do you miss me?"
I'm sitting here alone at night, my sleepless eyes are open wide. What do you want me to say? What we had has gone away. The sky is high, the road is long. Show me what I should have done. What do you want me to do? Take it all away from you? Turn your eyes from me. It's time for me to go across the hills and over the sea. I want you more than I know. -Turn
awesome
"Maybe I forgotten the names and addresses I ever known it's nothing I regret"
"I see what the man can do, I see all the hate in a woman too"
"I use to think the day would never come and my life would depend on the morning sun"
"I live my life on the valleys I live my life on pills I live my life on alcohol"
Just caught up with this thread. You can see by the fact that so many different lyrics have been mentioned just how awesome this band are. My own favourite hasn't been mentioned yet:
I feel so low I feel so humble Sometimes in life you take a tumble.
then there's this one:
"How many times must I lose my way, hey How many words do I have to say, hey What can I do just to make you see That you're so good for a man like A man like me."
full of meaning, and to show that Barmey's still got it.
My favourite NO-line:
"Thoughts from above hit the people down below People in this world, we have no place to go."
(Temptation)

no no no the line is:
I've lived my life in the valleys I've lived my life on the hills I've lived my life on alcohol I've lived my life on pills

Show me what I should have done. What do you want me to do? Take it all away from you? Turn your eyes from me. It's time for me to go across the hills and over the sea. I want you more than I know. -Turn
awesome
