Isolation - Live at Birmingham University; 2007 Remaster Songtext
von Joy Division

In fear every day, every evening
He calls her aloud from above
Carefully watched for a reason
Painstaking devotion and love

Surrendered to self preservation
From others who care for themselves
A blindness that touches perfection
But hurts just like anything else

Isolation, isolation, isolation


Mother, I tried, please, believe me
I′m doing the best that I can
I'm ashamed of the things I′ve been put through
I'm ashamed of the person I am

Isolation, isolation, isolation

But if you could just see the beauty
These things I could never describe
This is my one consolation
This is my wonderful prize

Isolation, isolation, isolation
