So this is permanence
Love shattered pride
What once was innocence
turned on its side
A cloud hangs over me
marks every move
Deep in the memory
what once was love
[first bit]
Oh how I've realized
how I wanted time
Put into perspective
tried so hard to find
Just for one moment
I thought I'd found my way
Destiny unfolded
I watched it slip away
[second bit]
Excessive flash points
beyond all reach
Solitary demands for
all I'd like to keep
Let's take a ride out
see what we can find
Valueless collection of
hopes and past desires

[first bit]
I never realized
the lengths I'd have to go
All the darkest corners of
a sense I didn't know
Just for one moment
I heard somebody call
Looked beyond the day in hand
There's nothing there at all
[second bit]
Now that I've realized
how it's all gone wrong
Got to find some therapy
this treatment takes too long
Deep in the heart of
where sympathy held sway
Got to find my destiny
before it gets too late

Note: It's only a rough guide, and there's a lot of extra stuff
played around what's written here, but I hope it's of some help.
Thanks to Nigel Koop for sending me the tape ;)

About artist:
Joy Division rapidly evolved from their initial punk rock influences, to develop a sound and style that pioneered the post-punk movement of the late 1970s. According to music critic Jon Savage, the band "were not punk but were directly inspired by its energy."[2] Their self-released 1978 debut EP, An Ideal for Living, caught the attention of the Manchester television personality Tony Wilson. Joy Division's debut album, Unknown Pleasures, was released in 1979 on Wilson's independent record label Factory Records, and drew critical acclaim from the British press. Despite the band's growing success, vocalist Ian Curtis was beset with depression and personal difficulties, including a dissolving marriage and his diagnosis with epilepsy. Curtis found it increasingly difficult to perform at live concerts, and often had seizures during performances.
In May 1980, on the eve of the band's first American tour, Curtis, overwhelmed with depression, committed suicide. Joy Division's posthumously released second album, Closer (1980), and the single "Love Will Tear Us Apart" became the band's highest charting releases. After the death of Curtis, the remaining members reformed as New Order, achieving critical and commercial success.
