Novelty — текст песни (Joy Division)

When people listen to you dont you know it means a lot,

cos youve got to work so hard for everything youve got.

Cant rest on your laurels now,

Not when youve got none.

Youll find yourself in a gutter,

Right back where you came from.



Someone told me being in the know is the main thing.

We all need the security that belonging brings.

Cant stand on your own in these times,

Against all the odds,

You all just fall behind like all the other sods.



You slap our backs and pretend you knew about,

All the things that we were gonna do.

What ya gonna do, what ya gonna do,

When its over?

Youre on your own now,

Dont you think thats a shame?

But youre the only one responsible to take the blame.

So what ya gonna do when the novelty has gone?

Yeah, what ya gonna do when the novelty has gone?



You slap our backs,

And pretend you knew about,

All the things we were gonna do.

What ya gonna do, what ya gonna do

When its over?
