“Heart and Soul” is a spacious, reverb-laden track built around an electronic bass line from Peter Hook and a skittering drum rhythm from Stephen Morris.

Heart and Soul Lyrics
[Verse 1]
Instincts that can still betray us
A journey that leads to the sun
Soulless and bent on destruction
A struggle between right and wrong
You take my place in the showdown
I'll observe with a pitiful eye
I'll humbly ask for forgiveness
A request well beyond you and I
[Chorus]
Heart and soul, one will burn
Heart and soul, one will burn
[Verse 2]
An abyss that laughs at creation
A circus complete with all fools
Foundations that lasted the ages
Then ripped apart at their roots
Beyond all this good is the terror
The grip of a mercenary hand
When savagery turns all good reason
There's no turning back, no last stand
[Chorus]
Heart and soul, one will burn
Heart and soul, one will burn
[Verse 3]
Existence, well, what does it matter?
I exist on the best terms I can
The past is now part of my future
The present is well out of hand
The present is well out of hand
[Chorus]
Heart and soul, one will burn
Heart and soul, one will burn
One will burn, one will burn
Heart and soul, one will burn

What did Joy Division say about "Heart and Soul"?
Drummer Stephen Morris told GQ about the difficulties with performing the song live:
It was a lot of fun to do, but later, when we tried doing it live, it was always a bit hit and miss. It’s based around Bernard playing the bass synths and it was going into a hypnotic rhythm that just doesn’t stop....
