My favourite lyric has got to be 'our valued destiny comes to nothing'. I love that lyric, it sounds so sad and descriptive. These are probably Bernard Sumner's best lyrics, because I never found him to be even near the level of Ian Curtis. The only kind of lame line is 'when I was a very small boy, very small boys talked to me', which is the kind of dumbish lyric that plagues a decent chunk of New Order tracks. Overall these are fantastic lyrics though.
