Joy Division 24 Hours song lyrics

So this is permanence - love's shattered pride

What once was innocence, turned on its side

Grey cloud hangs over me - marks every move

Deep in the memory, what once was love

Oh how I realised how I wanted time

Put into perspective - tried so hard to find

Just for one moment I thought I'd found my way

Destiny unfolded - I watched it slip away

Excessive flashpoints - beyond all reach

Solitary demands for all I'd like to keep

Let's take a ride out - see what we can find

A valueless collection of hopes and past desires

I never realised the lengths I'd have to go

All the darkest corners of a sense I didn't know

Just for one moment I heard somebody call

Looked beyond the day in hand - there's nothing there at all

Now that I've realised how it's all gone wrong

Got to find some therapy - this treatment takes too long

Deep in the heart of where sympathy held sway

Got to find my destiny before it gets too late
