New Order - Blue Monday



I had an epiphany (one of many, I know). I was on the subway, on my way to work last friday and there was this guy sitting in front of me. Skinny leather pants, shades, long and wavy auburn hair, spiky goatee and gloriously barechested. He didn't look all there. He was listening to his iPod super loud. I thought at first it was Mayhem's GRAND DECLARATION OF WAR, but I realized soon enough he was listening to this New Order classic. Then it hit me. I was going to have this song in my head all day and...it could have been worse. I kinda prefer the cover by one-hit-wonder band Orgy but force is to admit, it's a great, catchy song. I prefer this to Lady Gaga or Carly Simon. Here is the original for your enjoyment. Have a happy humming.

 New Order - BLUE MONDAY

How does it feel
To treat me like you do
When you've laid laid your hands upon me
And told me who you are

I thought I was mistaken
I thought I heard your words
Tell me how do I feel
Tell me now how do I feel

Those who came before me
Lived through their vocations
From the past until completion
They will turn away no more

And I still find it so hard
To say what I need to say
But I'm quite sure that you'll tell me
Just how I should feel today

I see a ship in the harbor
I can and shall obey
But if it wasn't for your misfortunes
I'd be a heavenly person today

And I thought I was mistaken
And I thought I heard you speak
Tell me how do I feel
Tell me now how should I feel

Now I stand here waiting

I thought I told you to leave me
While I walked down to the beach
Tell me how does it feel
When your heart grows cold
(grows cold, grows cold, grows cold)
