Isn't it about the effects of taking heroin?
Hugh Cornwell wrote that the lyrics worked at two levels: heroin and a girl.

“Both provided me with pleasurable times”

And when she lets me slip away
She turns me on all my violence is gone
Nothing is wrong
I just slip away and I am gone

Recurring subjects always come around in music.

Re. Government post-lockdown policy..............speaking for myself, and possibly other old farts on here.

Oh, give me land, lots of land, and the starry skies above,
Don't fence me in.
Let me ride through the wide open country that I love,
Don't fence me in.

They'll probably just allow me the next line......"Let me be by myself in the evening breeze..........."

From probably the best song ever.

I said “you are a lady”
“perhaps“ she said “I maybe”

With the recent 40th anniversary of Joy Division singer Ian Curtis passing.This gem from Shadowplay.

In the shadowplay, acting out your own death, knowing no more,
As the assassins all grouped in four lines dancing on the floor,
And with cold steel, odor on their bodies, made a move to connect,
But I could only stare in disbelief as the crowds all left.

Why are we still together?
Oh I can't leave until you're dead
You mean till death do us part?
I mean like cyanide, strangulation or an axe to your head
