This version of the song “Transmission” is one of the few recordings available where both Ian Curtis and Bernard Sumner play guitar.
[Intro]
Radio, live transmission
Radio, live transmission
[Verse 1]
Listen to the silence, let it ring on
Eyes, dark grey lenses frightened of the sun
We would have a fine time living in the night
Left to blind destruction, waiting for our sight
[Verse 2]
And we would go on as though nothing was wrong
And hide from these days we remained all alone
Staying in the same place, just staying out the time
Touching from a distance, further all the time
[Chorus]
Dance, dance, dance, dance, dance, to the radio
Dance, dance, dance, dance, dance, to the radio
Dance, dance, dance, dance, dance, to the radio
Dance, dance, dance, dance, dance, to the radio
[Verse 3]
Well I could call out when the going gets tough
The things that we've learnt are no longer enough
No language, just sound, that’s all we need know
To synchronise love to the beat of the show
And we could dance
[Chorus]
Dance, dance, dance, dance, dance, to the radio
Dance, dance, dance, dance, dance, to the radio
Dance, dance, dance, dance, dance, to the radio
Dance, dance, dance, dance, dance, to the radio
