Classic New Order in the way that everybody has their part in this song. Love Peter Hook's bassline in this one. Wish they would play this in concert more. New Order need to bring this one back out on the road, it's been too long!!!

Ah, what can I say?! I love this song. But I love the video clip more. My mum and I can't get over Barney and his facial expressions.
The last few minutes of TPK are awesome, when all the instruments try to outdo each other!!!
Just listening to the Singles version...at 2.24, and the end of the second chorus, did they edit this part with a pair of garden shears??? You can heard Barney's 'w...' as he starts to sing 'when you are alone at night...', but he's cut off at 'w...'. Shite bit of editing!!:(
Best bit: Every single fookin' second of that song. [And I'm talking all nine minutes and twenty-one seconds of the video too. Does anyone have the audio to that one?]
Worst bit: When it ends, of course.
Why I *LOVE* it: For one, the video. Two, when Bernard stops singing and the REAL fun begins! [ETA: Oh, and a nice little cameo from a certain someone named IAN!!!
]
Rating: 100+% It's my all-time favorite NO song!
And... I wouldn't know the last bit... get over it... :D

In its nearly 9 minute version it is indeed 'perfect'. However i think the edit is shite and cant understand why they cut it down for Lowlife.
TPK is in my opinion the best 80's song there ever was. I love the live version I have the best. I rate it a 10. I would buy you a beer if I could just because you have decent taste in music. I want to see what the 7" cover looks like.

Who knows....
- It's all good
- The short version
- It's got a sweet arpeggiator/sequencer bit in the intro, the lyrics are random
- 95%
- Best bit - everything! It's my second all-time favorite song by any artist (next to Subculture). The video is also my favorite all-time video! Favorite versions: Hot Tracks Mix #1, #2, #3, Razormaid Mix, extended version, kiss of death, the perfect pit, actually all
- Worst bit - Maybe the fading part of some versions (i.e. Album Version). It's the only thing I don't like about the versions is the fading part.
- Why I love it - From start to finish, it's a classic. It's like each instrument is competing with each other until the end of the track where it reached a climax. As in... WOW! What a track!
- Rating - A Perfect 100%
