The Only Mistake Lyrics

Lyric discussion by sapererisin 

Cover art for The Only Mistake lyrics by Joy Division

I am taking this interpretation from the movie Control. It sounds like it could be referring to when he was cheating on his wife with the reporter. But that movie didn't seem to credible.

The only lines that wouldn't correlate were: "Like I did once before." and: "Led to rumours unfound."

it was more factual than say "The Doors" biopic. They wrote alot of the movie based on interviews of the band, Tony Wilson and the book Debbie wrote called "Touching From A Distance." I recommend it for avid fans. There will always be a mystery of Curtis's lyrics. ~Nick
