New Order – Blue Monday

Ever the consistent blogger, for about 8 minutes between 2006 and 2022 I ran a “Music Mondays” feature.

New Order played in Leeds last night, which was pretty cool.

The lyrics to one of their classic tracks, Blue Monday, are listed below. In case you’re wondering what they are.

New Order “Blue Monday” Lyrics

Lyrics:

[Instrumental Intro]

[Verse 1]
How does it feel
To treat me like you do?
When you've laid your hands upon me
And told me who you are?
I thought I was mistaken
I thought I heard your words
Tell me how do I feel?
Tell me now, how do I feel?
Those who came before me
Lived through their vocations
From the past until completion
They'll turn away no more
And still, I find it so hard
To say what I need to say
But, I'm quite sure that you'll tell me
Just how I should feel today

[Instrumental Break]

[Verse 2]
I see a ship in the harbour
I can and shall obey
But, if it wasn't for your misfortune
I'd be a heavenly person today
And I thought I was mistaken
And I thought I heard you speak
Tell me, how do I feel?
Tell me now, how should I feel?
Now I stand here waiting


[Verse 3]
I thought I told you to leave me
When I walked down to the beach
Tell me how does it feel
When your heart grows cold
(Grows cold, grows cold, grows cold, grows cold)

[Instrumental Outro]

Posted on a Sunday ahead of another happy Monday. You’re going to have a great week, world!
