This is why events unnerve me
They find it all a different story
No concern, for wheels are turning
Turn again and turn towards this time
All she asks the strength to hold me
Then again the same old story
Word will travel oh so quickly
Travel first and lean towards this time

Oh, I'll break them down, no mercy shown
(in the original New Order version: "I'll break them all ...")
Heaven knows, it's got to be this time
Watching her, these things she said
The times she cried, too frail to wake this time

Oh, I'll break them down, no mercy shown
Heaven knows, it's got to be this time
Avenues all lined with trees
Picture me and then you start watching
Watching forever
Forever, watching love grow
Forever, letting me go
Forever
