In A Lonely Place Lyrics

Cover art for In A Lonely Place lyrics by Bush

It's a cover on New Order's take on the song.

Joy Division originally planned this (and, there is a released recording of "Detail"/"Details", a studio recording of this), but New Order added in the extra verse at "Hangman looks round as he waits...", as a tribute to Ian Curtis.

The first two verses are talking about Ian's love of his wife that has grown cold, due to his cheating on her with the reporter Annik. The other I heard was that it was about the Nuclear bombings of Japan. shrug I'm aiming for the former, though.
