I always thought it was funny that someone like Ian Curtis (knowing what later became of him) could write a song where the chorus is "love of life makes you feel higher." Then again, in the line before he says "I can't see life getting higher" which makes me think he has no more love for life. Hmm.
I must say that
I'll walk you through the heartbreaks
Show you all the out-takes
I can't see it getting higher
Systematically degraded
Emotionally a scapegoat
I can't see it getting better
is one of the most poetic expressions of angst ever committed to record.
