At popular request (from Patrick) here are the full, corrected lyrics.

There might be errors, there is still things to figure, so I'll go ahead and paste them here:


Crystal

We're like crystal, we break easy I'm a poor man, if you leave me I'm applauded, then forgotten It was summer, now it's autumn

I don't know what to say, you don't care anyway I'm a man in rage, with a girl i betrayed Here comes love, it's like honey You can't buy it with money, you're not alone anymore, You shock me to the core, you shock me to the core

We're like crystal, it's not easy With your love, you could feed me Every man, and every woman Needs someone, So keep it coming Keep it coming, keep it coming, keep it coming Keep it coming, keep it coming, keep it coming Keep it coming

I don't know what to say, you don't care anyway I'm a man in a rage, with a girl i betrayed Here comes love, it's like honey You can't but it with money, you're not alone anymore You shock me to the core, you shock me to the core

Keep it coming, keep it coming, keep it coming Keep it coming, keep it coming, keep it coming Keep it coming, keep it coming, keep it coming


60 Miles An Hour

I don't know if I told you, but I'm seeking sanctuary You'll never guess the things that I do I'll have the devil round for tea Don't you know that I'm here beside you Can't you see that I can't relax When I saw you in my rearview You could've stopped me in my tracks

I'll be there for you when you want me to I'll stand by your side like I always do In the dead of night it'll be alright 'Cos I'll be there for you when you want me to

You can take me to an island, ride across the stormy sea We can worship pagan idols, there together you and me Why don't you run over here and rescue me? You can drive down in your car Why don't we both take a ride and turn that key We'll drive at 60 miles an hour

I'll be there for you when you want me to I'll stand by your side like I always do In the dead of night it'll be alright 'Cos I'll be there for you when you want me to

I'll be there for you when you want me to I'll stand by your side like I always do In the dead of night it'll be alright 'Cos I'll be there for you when you want me to

I'll be there for you when you want me to I'll stand by your side like I always do In the dead of night it'll be alright 'Cos I'll be there for you when you want me to

I'll be there for you when you want me to I'll stand by your side like I always do In the dead of night it'll be alright 'Cos I'll be there for you when you want me to


Turn My Way

Take my hand And don't let go Trust this man And let it flow

Don't take me down Cause I'm not done Don't steal my crown Before it's won The wide expanse The wheel of chance Will turn my way The sky will not be gray

I don't wanna be like other people are Don't wanna own a key, don't wanna wash my car Don't wanna have to work like other people do I want it to be free, I want it to be true

Take my hand And don't let go Trust this man And let it flow

I drank in every bar in town I filled my cup when I was down I saw the things I wanted to see Became the man I wanted to be But then somehow I lost my way I've got to get back there today

I don't wanna be like other people are Don't wanna own a key, don't wanna wash my car Don't wanna have to work like other people do I want it to be free, I want it to be true

I don't wanna be like other people are Don't wanna own a key, don't wanna wash my car Don't wanna have to work like other people do I want it to be free, I want it to be true

I don't wanna be like other people are Don't wanna own a key, don't wanna wash my car Don't wanna have to work like other people do I want it to be free, I want it to be true

I don't wanna be like other people are Don't wanna own a key, Don't wanna wash my car I lie awake at night, or wait until it's light I want it to be free, I thought that I was right

Tought that I was right Tought that I was right Tought that I was right Tought that I was right Tought that I was right Tought that I was right

Vicious Streak

What am I gonna do I feel like I'm on fire If you only knew That you're the object of desire

I keep hanging on, keep hanging on And I swear by God that you're the only one I keep hanging on, keep hanging on And I swear by God that it won't be long

My aim is true My vision is clear My thoughts are crude Whenever you're near

I keep hanging on, keep hanging on And I swear by God that you're the only one I keep hanging on, keep hanging on And I swear by God that it won't be long

I keep hanging on

You've got a vicious streak For someone so young You're like solar flair In the rising sun

I keep hanging on I keep hanging on I keep hanging on I keep hanging on


Primitive Notion

It doesn't take a lot to confuse me I'm not aware of the passing of time And I'd like to say to those who accuse me Could you do it while you looked in my eye

If you hold a primitive notion And if you think you'd like to try You can drink this magic potion And you can do it 'til the day that you the day that you die

I've done it before and I'll do it again Charged with a life that'll burn 'til the end How can it be that we're so far apart I want it to be like it did at the start

I'm doing my best to confound? you Your behaviour is so volatile Not even a zoo would impound you Don't look at me with your criticle smile

Well I've been driving in the wrong gear It's been a long and lonely ride It's been winter for a whole year But you couldn't hurt me if you tried

I've done it before and I'll do it again Charged with a life that'll burn 'til the end How can it be that we're so far apart I want it to be like it did at the start

I've done it before and I'll do it again Charged with a life that'll burn 'til the end How can it be that we're so far apart I want it to be like it did at the start

I've got a message that I need to send It's coming to you straight from a friend I wanted to see what's inside my heart I wanted to be like it was in the start

Slow Jam

As I look at the morning sky Today the wind is blowing hard See that bird is has flown too high Pretty soon it will be tired I spent a day all by myself A rich man without his wealth Sometimes I get it wrong But I'm not the only one

The afternoon was very clear The sun was beating down on me I got thirsty for a beer That I had to go to sea The sea was very rough It made me feel sick But I like that kind of stuff It beats arithmetic

I don't want the world to change I like the way it is Just give me one more wish I can't get enough of this When it gets to be alive And not just still survive To hit and not to miss I can't get enough of this

The early evening mists Look beautiful to me Was sweeter than a kiss I wish you all could see I'm a long long way from home But this photograph of you Even though it's monochrome Tells me what I should do So I got up on my feet I knew it would be alright For my clothes were looking beat In the middle of the night

I don't want the world to change I like the way it is Just give me one more wish I can't get enough of this When it gets to be alive And not just still survive To hit and not to miss I can't get enough of this

I don't want the world to change I like the way it is Just give me one more wish I can't get enough of this When it gets to be alive And not just still survive To hit and not to miss I can't get enough of this

I can't get enough of this I can't get enough of this I can't get enough of this I can't get enough of this I can't get enough of this I can't get enough of this I can't get enough of this I can't get enough of this

Rock The Shack

I've been accused of everything From Timbuctoo to old Berlin I need some armor for my flesh I need to stop and take a rest

I've been wide-eyed but couldn't see I stand accused of being me

I believe in politics I believe in everything I believe this world of ours is giving me adrenaline When I hear a baby cry When I see an old man die That's just the way it is

Rock the shack, rock the shack, rock the shack, rock the shack Rock the shack, rock the shack, rock the shack, rock the shack

Yeah that's the way it is

I took each day the way it came I put my future out of frame The signs were there for all to see Like blue eyed mind to you and me My head laid on my beating breast I swear to you I pass this test I walked one hundred thousand miles And you're the judge who's done my trial Did my trial

I believe in politics I believe in everything I believe this world of ours is just a den of vice and sins And even on the darkest night We could reach for the light And we could get it right

Get it right, get it right, get it right, get it right Get it right, get it right, get it right, get it right

I believe in politics I believe in everything I believe this world of ours is giving me adrenaline Ten thousand year ago Crawling on the floor Well get up Jack It's time to rock the shack

Rock the shack, rock the shack, rock the shack, rock the shack Rock the shack, rock the shack, rock the shack, rock the shack

It's time to get up

Someone Like You

This can't be real My heart is burning How does it feel Well let's say I'm learning It had to come The ship has landed It's time to run The crew are stranded

We're having the time of our lives We're lost in a cruel paradise

Someone like you can make me feel like I used to do Return my heart, yeah, make it feel like it does at the start Someone like you, Someone like you, yeah

You're everything to me The sweetest symphony All that I try to be You are my harmony I guess what I mean to say Is you keep the walls at bay The children on holiday Here comes the crowd

We're having the time of our lives We're lost in a cruel paradise

Someone like you can make me feel like I used to do Return my heart, yeah, make it feel like it does at the start Someone like you, yeah, Someone like you, yeah


Close Range

I wanna scream, I wanna shout I wanna know what it's all about I've seen it before but not like this I saw your name, it was on the list

By 4 O'Clock (It's gonna change) You were pretty high (It's gonna change) Right on the floor (It's gonna change) Looking at the sky (It's gonna change) I remember you (It's gonna change) When you were a kid (It's gonna change) It was pretty strange (It's gonna change) And things you did

You've got to pull yourself together man You've got to get back on your feet again How can I ever make you understand You've got the world right in your hands

No cold heart could turn away And not be moved by what I saw today There on the floor, thirty years or more He doesn't care, he just wants to score

By 4 O'Clock (It's gonna change) You were pretty high (It's gonna change) Right on the floor (It's gonna change) Looking at the sky (It's gonna change) I remember you (It's gonna change) When you were a kid (It's gonna change) It was pretty strange (It's gonna change) And things you did

You've got to pull yourself together man You've got to get back on your feet again How can I ever make you understand You've got the world right in your hands

You've got to pull yourself together man You've got to get back on your feet again How can I ever make you understand You've got the world right in your hands

Yet it only seems just like yesterday We used to run and hide Remember in the park where we used to play The grass looked ten foot high

You've got to pull yourself together man You've got to get back on your feet again How can I ever make you understand You've got the world right in your hands

You've got to pull yourself together man You've got to get back on your feet again How can I ever make you understand You've got the world right in your hands

Run Wild

Open hearts Empty spaces Dusty roads To distant places But all the time When I'm alone I think of you And how you've grown

Far and wide Sweet and simple Jehovah knows That I've been sinful

But if Jesus comes to take your hand I won't let go, I won't let go

I'm not cruel And you're not evil And we're not like All those stupid people Who can't decide Which book to read Unless the paper Sows deceit

You're the kind of person That I've always wanted to be with We'll you're really cool And you always say the right things to me But now I'll tell you something From my heart beats for you deep inside But never be a burden And my love for you will never die, never die, never die, never die, never die

But if Jesus comes to take your hand I won't let go, I won't let go

But if Jesus comes to take your hand I won't let go, I won't let go

Good times around the corner Good times around the corner Good times around the corner I swear it's getting warmer Good times around the corner Good times around the corner Good times around the corner

I'm gonna live 'til I die I'm gonna live to get high


Behind Closed Doors

There is a secret place Underneath a tree Where if you go in haste You will find a key The key will open doors And you will look inside The things that you will see Will open up your eyes

At any given time On every other street The city comes to life Though everyone's asleep A man beats up his wife He doesn't wanna keep Behind closed doors They're in retreat

I don't know what makes me stay The city life just ain't the same There's something wrong with kids today I blame the parents anyway There's no hope No one to trust I can't cope It's obvious Please don't take my drugs away I'm gonna give them up someday

There is a place somewhere That I could call a home I'd live without a care I'd never be alone One day I will get there I feel it in my bones I check upon the scores I listen to The Coors Behind closed doors

Behind closed doors Behind closed doors Behind closed doors They still want more Behind closed doors

Thanks, Nicolas!

Current thoughts:

Primitive Notion:

I think it's "hold A primitive notion" (not "ON")

I think it's "CHARGED WITH a life THAT'LL burn til the end"

Slow Jam:

I think it's "see that bird HAS FLOWN TOO high"

Rock the Shack

You had suggested "pass THIS test" and "DONE my trial" and I agree; in addition I think the next line is "Did my trial"

Someone Like You

Mystery line: "It's ??? to run": TIME? DOWN? OUT?

Run Wild

Could it be "FIRE AND WINE" instead "FAR AND WIDE"?

This time I'll update my first message.

I do think all suggestions are good..

as for Fire and Wine, I didn't check yet, maybe, this would sound similar...

I checked with the ryric booklet that Japanese Get Ready comes with.

According the booklet, they should be....

Someone Like You: "It's TIME to run"

Run Wilde: "Far and WIDE"

I haven't checked all of them yet but will post if I find anything should be corrected.

BCD should be "you go IN haste" not "AND"

Experience says, don't rely too much on Japanese Lyrics....

They are not official! I will see if there is official lyrics with the UK release, but even in the Crystal Jpn Single, there was so many errors in the lyrics of Crystal that it was ridiculous!

Same goes for the lyrics in the "Best of" video...

But, who knows!

Hey Patrick, don't know if you receive Ceremony, but here is snippets:

From:

Still swear it's 'I wanted to be free, I wanted to be true'.

I don't wanna be like other people are Don't wanna own a key, don't wanna wash my car Don't wanna have to work like other people do I want it to be free, I want it to be true

How about...

"I wanted to be free, I want it to be true."

Bernard uses the past tense at the end..."I thought that I was right." He thought that he was right when he wanted to be free, but he still wants it to be true? (This is starting to sound like the "buying honey" over-analysis.)

but remember...they say that one of the reasons they don't publish the lyrics is so that the songs can mean, and say, what each of us want them to...what a beautiful thought...Damn I should get some sleep...

Nicolas,

No I don't get Ceremony; what's the deal there?

About those lyrics from TMW, the three preceding lines are all in the present tense ("don't wanna" four times) so for that reason alone it seems more likely that it's "I want it" rather than "I wanted."

Ceremony is the biggest mailing list about New Order on the internet (600+ members)... it's the most active thing about New Order, I guess our forum is the 2nd one :D

What do people think of those changes for Someone Like You?

Someone like you can make me feel like I used to do Return my heart, yeah, make it feel like it does at the start

"Someone like you, COULD make me feel like I used to do" "Return my heart, yeah, make it REAL like it WAS at the start"

The children on holiday Here comes the crowd

"WE'RE children on holiday" "Here comes the CLOUD"

Someone like you can make me feel like I used to do Return my heart, yeah, make it feel like it does at the start

"Someone like you, COULD make me feel like I used to do" "Return my heart, yeah, make it REAL like it WAS at the start"

Nicolas, sorry I didn't see till now your earlier reply about Ceremony. But I remembered I somehow had gotten Ceremony in my favorites list, and I've been reading some of the archived messages.

"You keep the WOLVES at bay seems" to be also one of the issue about the lyrics here.

0 likes

Nicolas, I need to listen to the song on your first set of questions, but on "walls" versus "wolves" somebody made that suggestion a long time ago, and to me it's clearly "walls" and not "wolves."

0 likes

Nicolas, I agree it should be "COULD make me feel" and "make it REAL like it WAS at the start." I agree it should be "WE'RE children on holiday." However, it's CROWD, not CLOUD. And as I said above, WALLS not WOLVES.

I still don't think "It's TIME to run" is right. To me it sounds more like DOWN or OUT and not TIME.

Also on Close Range, it should be "THE things you did>'
