Lyrics

[Intro]

Whoo!

[Verse 1]

I'm back in Liverpool

And everything seems the same

But I worked something out last night

That changed this little boy's brain

A small piece of advice

That took twenty-two years in the making

I will break it for you now

Please learn from my mistakes

Please learn from my mistakes

[Chorus]

Let's dance to Joy Division

And celebrate the irony

Everything is going wrong

But we're so happy

[Chorus]

Let's dance to Joy Division

And raise our glass to the ceiling

'Cause this could all go so wrong

But we're so happy

Yeah, we're so happy

[Verse 2]

So if you're ever feeling down

Grab your purse and take a taxi

To the darker side of town

That's where we'll be

And we will wait for you

And lead you through the dance floor

Up to the DJ booth

You know what to ask for

You know what to ask for

[Chorus]

Go ask for Joy Division

And celebrate the irony

Everything is going wrong

But we're so happy

[Chorus]

Let's dance to Joy Division

We'll raise our glass to the ceiling

'Cause this could all go so wrong

But we're so happy (Yeah, we're so happy)

[Bridge]

Let the love tear us apart

I've found the cure for a broken heart

Let it tear us apart

Let the love tear us apart

I've found the cure for a broken heart

Let it tear us apart (Let it tear us apart)

So let the love tear us apart

I've found the cure for a broken heart

Let it tear us apart (Let it tear us apart)

So let the love tear us apart

I've found the cure for a broken heart

Let it tear us apart

Let it tear us apart

Let it tear us apart

[Chorus]

Let's dance to Joy Division

And celebrate the irony

Everything is going wrong

But we're so happy

[Chorus]

Let's dance to Joy Division

And raise our glass to the ceiling

'Cause this could all go so wrong

But we're so happy

Yeah, we're so happy

[Outro]

So happy

Yeah, we're so happy

So happy

Yeah, we're so happy
