These Days Lyrics

Lyric discussion by ChocoboLoco 

Cover art for These Days lyrics by Joy Division

One of my favorite JD songs! I always thought it was about an uptick in Ian's mood ("These Days" being happy days) since the lyrics are actually a bit optimistic ("now that these debts are paid") and speak about having someone else to face the world with. Also the music is really punky and happy sounding! For Joy Division anyway...
