Joy Division - At A Later Date Lyrics

Artist: Joy Division

Album: Miscellaneous

Genre: Rock

  • Songwriters: Ian Kevin Curtis, Peter Hook, Stephen Paul Morris, Bernard Sumner

Why must we be put down when we try to get away?
Why must we all grow up when we could just play and play?
Good things in life are free, can't buy everything, that's true
Only one thing wrong with that, what it don't buy I don't use

Only thing I'm thinking of is why are we all here
There must be more to do at nights than drinking rotten beer
The world's a very shady place and you can't trust a soul
'Grin and bear it', seemed the thing, when it just gets a hold
At a later date, it might come out a fright
At a later date, I hope that you're alright

Human beings are dangerous and they call me in the dark
But everything gets twice as cold in marching for a lark
There's loads of things I'd like to do if I could find the time
Working really tires me and I think I'll turn to crime
At a later date, I hope they start it soon
At a later date, before we hit the moon

I just can't be bothered to make an effort here at all
People make you feel your contributions are too small
I just can't be bothered to make an effort here at all
People make you feel your contributions are too small
At a later date, I'll be awful great
At a later date, someone, somewhere blew it
At a later date, at a later date
