Temptation - New Order Don't really have anything too profound to say about this song, other than the fact that I it. That guitar riff, the way it's sung, the lyrics... It's a perfect song, if there ever was one. New Order seems to get unfairly overlooked because they're perceived as a "dance act" rather than a rock one, but given their roots, I say they have the right to do whatever type of music they please.
Temptation A heaven, a gateway, a hope Just like a feeling inside, it's no joke And though it hurts me to treat you this way Betrayed by words, I'd never heard, too hard to say Up, down, turn around Please don't let me hit the ground Tonight I think I'll walk alone I'll find my soul as I go home Each way I turn, I know I'll always try To break this circle that's been placed around me From time to time, I find I've lost some need That was urgent to myself, I do believe Up, down, turn around Please don't let me hit the ground Tonight I think I'll walk alone I'll find my soul as I go home Oh, you've got green eyes Oh, you've got blue eyes Oh, you've got grey eyes And I've never seen anyone quite like you before No, I've never met anyone quite like you before Bolts from above hit the people down below People in this world, we have no place to go Oh, is the last time Oh, I've never met anyone quite like you before Oh no, I've never met anyone quite like you before Appreciate it! I'm the first mammal to wear pants. | |

Me too. One of their early greats. Hell, that whole '82 EP was just bursting with great songs and ideas. | |

See last post on that thread. Talking about coincedence. Wow that is pretty strange. It randomly popped onto my Ipod, and I was so grabbed by the song that I had to sit down and listen to all the lyrics. I've always loved it, but something new struck me about it today.

The '87 and '98 versions are pretty killer too. | |

The '87 and '98 versions are pretty killer too. I'm not sure which version I'm familiar with. I think it's the '87 one from Substance (which I don't own). I have Temptation through the Trainspotting soundtrack. Damn them for not including it on The Very Best of New Order! I'm the first mammal to wear pants. | |

Damn them for not including it on The Very Best of New Order! The reason for that is because they didn't want to include any repeats from Substance. All the songs that appear on both compilations are in different versions, i.e. Blue Monday '88, etc. | |
