Thieves Like Us Lyrics

Lyric discussion by ejownz6 

Cover art for Thieves Like Us lyrics by New Order

Love transcends all.

There was love in the east, love in the west. Love was found on the hills, in the valleys, and even alcoholics found love.

"It cuts through life like a broken knife"

There is the inevitable contradicting lyric to be found in every New Order song. If it truly transcends all, it'd cut through life like a very sharp knife or a bowie knife (a knife sharp on both sides)

That's my take.
