New Order - Leave Me Alone Lyrics






On a thousand islands in the sea
I see a thousand people just like me
A hundred unions in the snow
I watch them walking, falling in a row
We live always underground
It's going to be so quiet in here tonight
A thousand islands in the sea
It's a shame

And a hundred years ago
A sailor trod this ground I stood upon
Take me away everyone
When it hurts thou

From my head to my toes
From the words in the book
I see a vision that would bring me luck
From my head to my toes
To my teeth, through my nose
You get these words wrong
You get these words wrong
Everytime
You get these words wrong
I just smile

But from my head to my toes
From my knees to my eyes
Everytime I watch the sky
For these last few days leave me alone
But for these last few days leave me alone
Leave me alone
Leave me alone

    Favorite song of all time, gives me the chills everytime I listen to it. I wish I was alive when this band was really around. I’m sad to say I missed it but I’m so happy to be able to experience it now

  13. P.... D....

    Absolute magic song :) Power Corruption and Lies always seemed like the next step in their evolution. This song and Your Silent Face especially good.

  14. J.... C....

    Damn, real sad boy hours

  15. N.... ....

    Tis my fav NO song and that is saying SOMETHING

  16. l.... ....

    A sad or slower vibe to this song really takes me. The passing of Ian Curtis probably took these guys feelings by storm. The pure beauty of this song is just fucking amazing, I remember listening too it and being so attracted on the first listen. The lonely feeling, but still having people around you makes you feel happy for whats too come in the future. Being more happy, cause when there is grey clouds, there is always always always going to be blue skies coming.

  17. H.... ....

    Listening to this for the first time and couldn't be happier.

    H.... ....

    Hatebreedish its crazy how this attracts you on the first listen for anyone. Its so amazing.

  18. j.... o....

    This song is depressing, yet beautiful. I've heard a couple times now, and almost every time I hear it. I want to start bawling my eyes out. It's like this song speaks to me. I've heard a couple songs here and there that have made me feel this way, but this is definitely one of the top. Thanks, New Order.

  19. W.... E....

    My ex posted this for me when I wanted her back ... Oh, the pain!

  20. k.... ....

    < "little motel" modest mouse

  21. s.... ....

    I'm in my 30s. My dad listened to them a lot when we were growing up along with others like Radiohead, Nirvana and The Stone Roses......currently sitting on my bed listening to this song, beer in hand 😎

  22. T.... G....

    This song really hits those unknown feelings you've never been able to put a name on, but manages to make you feel it 4x more than usual.
    Leave me alone.

  23. D.... B....

    fantastic love em used to listen to it non stop now im 49 and think i have throat cancer

  24. L.... L....

  28. L.... O....

    Beautiful

  29. M.... F....

    I M M F

  30. J.... F....

    When I was 4, I remember hearing the song before I forget by slipknot, so when I grew older and heard it again I instantly remembered hearing it and feeling nostalgic, o remember cause it was my 4th birthday, and I get that same feeling with this song, but I have no idea where I heard it or how old i was so now I’m stuck, it’s still a beautiful song tho

  31. B.... K....

    Hooky,fav,new order song,he inform once.
    Sounds,like a joy division number,maybe,that's why he's likes so much.

  32. D.... N....

    AMAZING!!!!

  33. K.... B....

    no minor devotion to the bands and the people who made up Joy Division and New Order in my mind and body and soul. we all grew up living and weeping and laughing and dancing all those nights together...... )O;

  34. T.... Y....

    This is the song that made me "get" New Order and Joy Division.

  35. D.... W....

    love it

  36. E.... H....

    Such a great piece of poetry

  37. L.... S....

    Cocteau twinsish

  38. A.... B....

    I cannot comprehend just how serene this song is to me. This is perfection

  39. J.... B....

    BOY, I hear a lot of Modest Mouse in this song.

  40. D.... B....

    Why do I like this version better than JD"s?

  41. T.... ....

    I just smile :)

  42. a.... a....

    Melancholily BEAUTY!

  43. K.... M....

    Forgot how brilliant pc and l is.

  44. N.... F....

    The perfect pitch of Barney's guitar picking out the melancholy undertow of Hooky's base, paced by a part man-part machine drumming masterclass, and topped with the plain yet poignantly plaintive vocals of the greatest non-singer in rock history. Perfection.

  45. M.... V....

    Just a few years ago this song was every ounce of my being. I’m glad that’s over but still such a beautifully sad song.

  46. w.... ....

    let's listen to this song and cry

  47. A.... J....

    Modest mouse must like new order

  48. c.... ....

    The thing with this album is that you know that JD is receding and the sellout and the mediocrity are coming. Not yet, no.

    c.... ....

    New Order >>> Joy Division

  49. M.... A....

    I was 18 when this song was first made. I bet Manila was a really cool place back then Mandaluyongboy. Thanks for digging this up and posting it bro.

  50. a.... &....

    joy division. aeni` marcianou. -ant.

  51. S.... ....

    Sonic Youth bring me here

  52. A.... C....

    im listening to this in the high school chromebook with black nails and scars on my arms and heart break waiting to get to home and drink and cry

    A.... C....

    damm thats sad bro i feel u

  53. d.... ....

    Honest, pure, raw. A band learning their craft. F-ing class in a glass.

  54. C.... K....

    mi guta

  55. e.... ....

    Sumner singing ' And a hundred years ago a sailor trod this ground I stood upon' references Curtis. Stating he's standing on the spot Ian was as a singer, only now for New Order because Joy Division seemed like it happened a hundred years ago for him and the other members after 3 years after Curtis made his exit from their lives

  56. T.... C....

    einfach nur schön!

  57. R.... P....

    I. Love. This. Amazing. Song.

  58. N.... ....

    I should not be here.
    New Order has intense, tragic music. It drags my mind into the abyss of sadness, where I'm wandering numbingly through nothingness. Stranded in a world of melancholy and pain, I close my eyes and feel light. The more I listen, the darker my thoughts get. This bitter sweet drug poisens me into a state of mind which is too easy to enter, but incredibly hard to leave. I need to free myself, but I don't want to. I like it here.
    I should not be here, but I will stay.

  59. F.... ....

    😍this song. Anyone listning now 2019? 👍

  60. D.... M....

    WOW right?

  61. M.... ....

    I'm 53 years old , i first listened to the song and the LP when it came out, never left my mind, my playlist, my life.

  62. D.... D....

    Keith Morris is responsible for me loving these guys...

  63. M.... I....

    Shades of Modest Mouse - Little Motel

    Thank you New Order for being the soundtrack of my early twenties. Through highs and lows, their music has always been there for me.

  68. R.... B....

    tengo 22 y sigue sonando lindo

  69. K.... G....

    Beautiful - "From my head to my toes
    From the words in the book
    I see a vision that would bring me luck
    From my head to my toes
    To my teeth, through my nose
    You get these words wrong
    You get these words wrong
    Every time
    You get these words wrong
    I just smile"

    R.... ....

    Bernard Sumner

  78. N.... C....

    this is a fucking masterpiece

  79. A.... B....

    I would've preferred a 20 minute remix but this will do

  80. G.... D....

    E il tempo piega all’inverno.
    Io batto le strade
    che ai giorni delle volpi gentili
    autunno di feltri verdi fioriva,
    i viali celesti al dopopioggia.
    Al segno di luce si libera il passo
    e indugia l’anno, su queste contrade.
    S’illumina a uno svolto un effimero sole,
    un cespo di mimose

    nella bianchissima nebbia.


    Vittorio Sereni, Nebbia

  81. J.... S....

    Best New Order Song...

  82. s.... c....

    But for these last few days .. leave me alone

  83. P.... d....

    First heard it over 30 yes ago this melancholic tune is really growing on me.

  84. s.... o....

    I hope Ian's found peace away from this place. This song could choke a fucking pelican.

  85. T.... ....

    Leave me alone... 😕 😁

  86. C.... L....

    I'd forgotten how good this song is but now I'm glad I remembered. One of New Order's best which takes me back to another place and another life many years ago.

  87. J.... S....

    I feel like i'm in love with this whole record

  88. C.... ....

    Sounds like an attempt to write a Smiths song. Barney is absolutely channeling Morrissey.

  89. J.... D....

    Y Y w m Ybc b c ku

  90. K.... �....

    The drumming is very similar to that in Transmission, just a bit slower. Listen and compare.

  91. 1.... ....

    Got this spell of a song in my heart from the moment I heard it .

  92. S.... :....

    I still remember when I was going to Granada, Spain, to the vynil store and I bought the power corruption and lies vynil

  93. K.... x....

    🥀🥀🥀🥀

  94. P.... S....

    This song is a masterpiece, it is full of emotions, so sad and beautiful at the same time. This song was released when I was 15, but I first heard it in 2019.
    I can't feed with this song, it's like a drug, I play it over and over again. Thank you for that amazing song.

  95. K.... G....

    This song makes me have one of my patented flaccid wanks. Just saying
