Wow, no one has commented on this song in almost two years. We must be careful not to forget this song (although those who know it never will).
One of great and often unstated facets of Joy Divison lyrics is that they frequently can be read almost as stand-alone poems which happen to be set to music. This song in particular I have always loved, partly for that reason. The lyrics maintain roughly an iambic tetrameter beat which allow for it readability.
I have little to add to the above comments. This remains in my mind of one of Joy Division's most sombre and haunting songs (and there were many they did). Requiescat in pace, Ian.
