27. I can see that.
Trust me: as a native English speaker, Ian Curtis was WAY WAY WAY more of a lyricist than Bernard Sumner. Bernard was more concerned with making things rhyme than saying profound things.

Ian Curtis's lyrics evoked a very dark, lonely, isolated impression. Bernard just seemed to be adding another instrument to the mix with his vocals.

Don't get me wrong, "Movement" was a great CD (although I suspect that quite a few of those lyrics were written by Ian), but after that, New Order kind of fell off lyric-wise.

And it's totally Bernard. I had the same problem with his side project, Electronic. The lyrics just come out really stupid sometimes.
