New Order: Temptation @ NYC 1981

New Order playing Temptation live at the Ukrainian National Home in New York on November 19th 1981.
An interesting performance that goes on for over 10 minutes. Watch as the members slowly walk off the stage, leaving the equipment on. :)

People, hate(?) people, like you
People, hate(?) people, like you
People, hate(?) people, like you

Up, down, turn around

Tonight we might(?) be alright
Tonight we're gonna get home tight(?)
Up, down, turn around
(?) before I hit the ground
Tonight we're gonna(?)

People, hate(?) people, like you

(????)Three ways, always, anyways, hit the floor,
three ways, always, hit the door,
three ways, always, anyways, hit the floor, it's the last time(???)

Oh it's the last time,
oh it's the last time...

Up, down, turn around
(?) before I hit the ground
Up, down, turn around
(?) before I hit the ground
Up, down, turn around
(?) before I hit the ground
Tonight it's going to be alright

I've never met anyone quite like you before
Oh I've never met anyone quite like you before
Oh I've never met anyone quite like you before
Oh I've never met anyone quite like you before

It's the first time
Oh it's the first time
Oh it's the first time
Oh it's the first time
Oh it's the first time
Oh it's the first time
Oh it's the first time
And it's going away
It's going away out there (???)




Apologies for all the question marks in the lyrics, but half the time I have NO idea what Barney's mumbling about. The "three ways, always..." was a complete guess on my part, heh. At least I tried.
