Love Will Tear Us Apart (Joy Division cover) Lyrics
Routine bites hard and ambitions are low
And the resentment rides high but emotions won't grow
And we're changing our ways, taking different roads
Then love, love will tear us apart again
Why is the bedroom so cold
Turned away on your side?
Is my timing that flawed, our respect run so dry?
Yet there's still this appeal
That we've kept through our lives
Love, love will tear us apart again (2)
Do you cry out in your sleep
All my failings expose?
Get a taste in my mouth
As desperation takes hold
Is it something so good
Just can't function no more?
When love, love will tear us apart again (4)
And the resentment rides high but emotions won't grow
And we're changing our ways, taking different roads
Then love, love will tear us apart again
Turned away on your side?
Is my timing that flawed, our respect run so dry?
That we've kept through our lives
Love, love will tear us apart again (2)
All my failings expose?
Get a taste in my mouth
As desperation takes hold
Is it something so good
Just can't function no more?
When love, love will tear us apart again (4)

He really has made this his own by the awesome guitar and his voice is so well suited to this particular song. An awesome cover of one the alltime greats.
very beautiful cover. i cannot get over the sound of that guitar.
Just in case someone wasn't aware of who made the original, this song was originally written by Joy Division.
yeah i know that but surely if this is a website for commenting on the lyrical content rather than the sound of the song then shouldn't it be only in the joy division area so that a proper discussion in the context of the band that wrote it can take place...maybe i'm being really anal...i am aren't I...oh well.......... anyways, amazing lyrics, yeah....
You dont need to have written the song for it to mean something in context thought. Jose may have chosen to cover this song for a particular reason which would not be discussed on the joy division page. Plus where does it say that only lyrical content can be discussed? in some songs the instruments add to the particular feel and meaning of the song.
These is the only decent cover of this song I've heard.
Jose has a really beautiful way with music.
Its about a longer term relationship losing the chemistry. Its a biological fact that the chemistry between couples neutralises after 24 mths. Then you have to fight to get it back. Or you can give up. The loyal don't give up. Its hard when someone new and amasing comes along and you feel the chemistry you used to feel.
Yet there's still this appeal that we've kept through our lives.
Something so good can't function no more.
Bullshit. You have to fight for it. Loyalty. Real love.
Don't give in to the new love, don't let it tear you apart. It won't last either!
I'm not sure just how relevant your comment was to the song, coldownie; but I really enjoyed it.
Keep fighting! Love will pull you through. And if it doesn't do the trick anymore, eat more chocolate. It'll give you the same general feeling. :)
