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
And I will break it for you now
Please learn from my mistakes
Let's dance to Joy Division
And celebrate the irony
Everything is going wrong
But we're so happy
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
So, if you're ever feeling down
Grab your purse and take a taxi
To the darkest 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
Go ask for Joy Division
And celebrate the irony
Everything is going wrong
But we're so happy
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
Let the love tear us apart
I found the cure for a broken heart
Let it tear us apart
Let the love tear us apart
I 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 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 found the cure for a broken heart
Let it tear us apart, let it tear us apart, let it tear us apart
Let's dance to Joy Division
And celebrate the irony
Everything is going wrong
But we're so happy
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
So happy
Yeah, we're so happy
So happy
Yeah, we're so happy

I'm back in Liverpool
I have returned to my hometown of Liverpool
And everything seems the same
The city has not changed much since my last visit
But I worked something out last night
I had a realization or epiphany last night
That changed this little boy's brain
This realization had a significant impact on me and the way I think
A small piece of advice
Something I learned that I want to pass on
That took twenty-two years in the making
It took me a long time to learn this lesson
And I will break it for you now
I will share it with you now
Please learn from my mistakes
I hope you can avoid the mistakes I have made by following this advice
Let's dance to Joy Division
Let's dance to this band's music
And celebrate the irony
Despite all the things going wrong, we can still find joy and humor in life
Everything is going wrong
Life is tough right now and things are not going well
But we're so happy
Despite the hardships, we are still finding happiness and enjoying life
And raise our glass to the ceiling
Let's make a toast to celebrate life
'Cause this could all go so wrong
Life is uncertain and things could get worse
So, if you're ever feeling down
If you're feeling sad or depressed
Grab your purse and take a taxi

To the darkest side of town

Request Joy Division's music to be played

For people who don’t understand the meaning behind the song, the singer has stated in multiple interviews he was in a bar in Liverpool when “love will tear us apart” by joy division came on. The singer of the wombats (murph) finds it ironic that people got up and started dancing happily to a song which talks about very dark subjects hence the irony
@Alch1my
Because music is not only the lyrics. It is also the music--melodies, beat, and rhythm.
@shoelessbeats
@@Alch1my It's still ironic tho...
@turnip5359
Lmao I'm sick of that song, absolute radio plays it all the time and I'm like wtf
@hairboyanimaciones2711
Makes sense
@mrFredmaestro
Rlly not ironic cause Ian Curtis literally had a signature dance
@ImmaURq
I love how this song is like, angrily upbeat.
@HN-kr1nf
we need more songs like this
@E-Washer
violently jams to an upbeat tune
@johnleggett2475
Yeah!
