Biography:
Joy Division were a post-punk band formed in 1976 in Salford, Greater Manchester, United Kingdom. Originally named Warsaw, the band consisted of Ian Curtis (vocals and occasional guitar), Bernard Sumner (guitar and keyboards), Peter Hook (bass guitar and backing vocals) and Stephen Morris (drums and percussion). The band dissolved in May 1980 after the suicide of its lead singer, Ian Curtis. Much of their popularity/reputation arguably resulted from frequent playings on air by iconic DJ John Peel

[Verse 1] 0’43”
Dm C
Here are the young men, a weight on their shoulders,
Dm C
Here are the young men, well where have they been?
Dm C
We knocked on the doors of Hell's darker chamber,
Dm C
Pushed to the limit, we dragged ourselves in,
Dm C
Watched from the wings as the scenes were replaying,
Dm C
We saw ourselves now as we never had seen.
Dm C
Portrayal of the trauma and degeneration,
Dm C
The sorrows we suffered and never were free.

Weary inside, now our heart's lost forever,

Can't replace the fear, or the thrill of the chase,

Each ritual showed up the door for our wanderings,
Dm C
Open then shut, then slammed in our face.
