Here's another twist off the playlist meme:

I'm naming the song titles. You need to give me artist and a sample lyric. It's got to be lyrics that you actually know. (no googling, plskthx, although I will allow for some instances [ie, Percy in his 'Look Ma, I can sing the blues!' tortured scream or anything by Dylan] where you need to clarify words.)

Yes, yes, a thousand times yes!

It's the Joy Division version of course- it's turning up everywhere here on TV/radio/whatever here because it's just turned 25 years since Ian Curtis killed himself.
