Joy Division No Love Lost song lyrics

So long sitting here

Didn't hear the warning

Waiting for the tape to run

We've been moving around in different situations

Knowing that the time would come

Just to see you torn apart

Witness to your empty heart

I need it

I need it

I need it

Through the wire screen, the eyes of those standing outside looked in

At her as into the cage of some rare creature in a zoo

In the hand of one of the assistants she saw the same instrument

Which they had that morning inserted deep into her body.

She shuddered instinctively.

No life at all in the house of dolls

No love lost.

No love lost

You've been seeing things

In darkness, not in learning

Hoping that the truth will pass

No life underground, wasting never changing

Wishing that this day won't last

To never see you show your age

To watch until the beauty fades

I need it

I need it

I need it

Two-way mirror in the hall

They like to watch everything you do

Transmitters hidden in the walls

So they know everything you say is true

Turn it on

Don't turn it on

Turn it on
