Lyrics Of The Day – By… NEW ORDER

Posted on by JL

From ‘Love Vigilantes‘ by New Order

[Verse 1]
Oh I’ve just come
From the land of the sun
From a war that must be won
In the name of truth
With our soldiers so brave
Your freedom we will save
With our rifles and grenades
And some help from God

[Chorus]
I want to see my family
My wife and child waiting for me
I’ve got to go home
I’ve been so alone, you see

[Verse 2]
You just can’t believe
The joy I did receive
When I finally got my leave
And I was going home
Oh I flew through the sky
My convictions could not lie
For my country I would die
And I will see it soon

[Chorus]
I want to see my family
My wife and child waiting for me
I’ve got to go home
I’ve been so alone, you see

[Verse 3]
When I walked through the door
My wife she lay upon the floor
And with tears her eyes were sore
I did not know why
Then I looked into her hand
And I saw the telegram
That said that I was a brave, brave man
But that I was dead

[Chorus]
I want to see my family
My wife and child waiting for me
I’ve got to go home


LOVE VIGILANTES was the opening track from their 1985 Low-life album

From Tucson Arizona Here’s CHATEAU CHATEAU With Guitar Loaded Ripper ‘EVIDENCE’…

Band: CHATEAU CHATEAU

Who: “Chateau Chateau was birthed from the desert flora and jagged hills of Tucson, Arizona in the beginning of 2018. The formation of the seven band members began in the cold, dark caverns of an aerospace hanger with nothing but an audience of semi-casual and passerby drunkards making their way to the next door brewhouse. In the following months of springtime the band began forming their sound. What was once a loose, rocky, garage-pop four-piece would eventually become a blooming, bouncy, glittery troupe of seven with an equally tightened and raw sound.”

Pick: EVIDENCE – new single “that chronicles the Sisyphean nature of creativity. As musicians we are constantly asking ourselves ‘is this good enough?’ Evidence describes the struggle of finding value in something you have created and coming to the conclusion that often it is not worth anything, and when this is true, the consequences of sharing it with listeners.”

Score: ‘Evidence’ is that kind of euphoric pop cracker that gets under your skin from the get-go. Exciting guitars have an instant impact on your body’s mobility, while enticing vocals and spirited harmonies add an upbeat effect of joyousness. The colorful members of the band look like they are solid party animals and they provide the fuel to join them on the dance floor. Swing along right here…

London’s pop daydreamers THE SUNDAYS released their debut single CAN’T BE SURE
30 years ago – on 15 January 1989. Vocalist Harriet Wheeler stole many hearts right
away with her vulnerable and flustered, yet weirdly tender voice. The song was included on their debut LP Reading Writing And Arithmetic  that came out almost a yeat later in early 1990. Here’s that beauty…

Give me a story and give me a bed
Give me possessions
Oh love, luck and money they go to my head like wildfire
It’s good to have something to live for, you’ll find
Live for tomorrow
Live for a job and a perfect behind, high time
England my country, the home of the free
Such miserable weather
But England’s as happy as England can be
Why cry?
And did you know desire’s a terrible thing
The worst that I can find
And did you know desire’s a terrible thing
But I rely on mine
Aa-ah
England my country, the home of the free
Such miserable weather
But England’s as happy as England can be
Why cry?
And did you know desire’s a terrible thing
The worst that I can find
And did you know desire’s a terrible thing
But I rely on mine
Did you know desire’s a terrible thing
It makes the world go blind
But if desire, desire’s a terrible thing
You know that I really don’t mind
And it’s my life
And it’s my life
And though I can’t be sure what I want any more
It will come to me later
Well it’s my life
And it’s my life
And though I can’t be sure if I want any more
It will come to me later
Ye-e-eah
