Joy Division - The Kill Lyrics






Moved in a hired car,
And I find no way to run,
Adds every moment longer,
Had no time for fun,
Just something that I knew I had to do,
But through it all I left my eyes on you.

I had an impulse to clear it all away,
Oh I used the tactics, make everybody pay,
Just something that I knew I had to do,
But through it all I kept my eyes on you.

Oh, I keep it all clean,
I've paid the graces there,
No kings of misuse,
No sellers of flesh,
Just something that I knew I had to do,
But through it all I kept my eyes on you,
Yeah through it all I kept my eyes on you,
But through it all I kept my eyes on you.

  9. �.... �....

    i am 1974 ... and i listen...

  10. S.... E....

    I thought this would have been a Joy Division recording of the amazing Warsaw song by the same title, but instead they completely rewrote it? WHy...this sucks.

  11. P.... E....

    Like this one best.

  12. D.... W....

    Kinda sounds like when they covered " walked in line "

  13. R.... K....

    1st (and only thus far ) joy division track i've clicked my fingers to

  20. D.... B....

    es verdad lo que me dijo mi madre, no puedo hablar pestes de las personas por que muchas de ellas no tienen tiempo para pensar en consultas anticorrupcion , ellos estan pensando es como subsistir

  21. D.... B....

    lo acepto soy un pobre asno sin conocimiento que se jacta de ser inteligente cuando no lo es

  22. D.... B....

    ojala pueda estudiar muy juicioso y aprender de derecho por que aun soy un pobre imbecil sin nada de conocimiento y asi poder ayudar a los trabajadores en una sala de casación laboral corte suprema de justicia , ojala pueda hacerlo

  23. D.... B....

    soy un don nadie

  24. D.... B....

    la misma vida lo alecciona a uno, mientras yo iba a comprar yerba vi a un trabajador de rappi en su cicla llevando un pedido sin proteccion y como sabemos sin prestaciones sociales y ganando muy poco, creo que soy un pelmaso y nadie es plebe solo que las situaciones de ellos son duras y no pueden estudiar , soy un idiota

  25. W.... D....

    The Kill

    Joy Division

    A morte

    Movido em um carro alugado e não vejo como fugir 
    Moved in a hired car and I find no way to run 

    Dói cada vez mais, não teve tempo para se divertir 
    Hurts every moment longer, had no time for fun 

    Apenas algo que eu sabia que tinha que fazer 
    Just something that I knew I had to do 

    Mas através de tudo eu mantive meus olhos em você
    But through it all I kept my eyes on you

    Eu tive um impulso para limpar tudo 
    I had an impulse to clear it all away 

    Eu usei as táticas, faça todo mundo pagar 
    I used the tactics, make everybody pay 

    Apenas algo que eu sabia que tinha que fazer 
    Just something that I knew I had to do 

    Mas através de tudo eu mantive meus olhos em você
    But through it all I kept my eyes on you

    Oh, eu mantenho tudo limpo, eu paguei as graças lá 
    Oh, I keep it all clean, I've paid the graces there 

    Não há reis de uso indevido, não há vendedores de carne 
    No kings of misuse, no sellers of flesh 

    Apenas algo que eu sabia que tinha que fazer 
    Just something that I knew I had to do 

    Mas através de tudo eu mantive meus olhos em você 
    But through it all I kept my eyes on you 

    Sim, através de tudo que eu mantive meus olhos em você 
    Yeah through it all I kept my eyes on you 

    Mas através de tudo eu mantive meus olhos em você
    But through it all I kept my eyes on you

  26. A.... B....

    Tab yo'?

  27. f.... ....

    this song is hands down amazing totally something id gear up for an intense battle with, staring in the mirror putting on war paint in a dystopian future ruined version of earth where humans must fight against a ruling race of an artificial intelligent race perpetually bent on perfection..... where're the imperfection!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

  28. I.... P....

    хорошо что илюминаты зрение не забралитак бы хуй увидел ебучую галочку

  29. D.... ....

    Peter Hook you fucking genius

  30. p.... b....

    One of the greatest basslines I've ever heard in my life.

    p.... b....

    Listen to Real Me by the who. This is awesome too.

    p.... b....

    Gentlemen's Space thunderfinger. Best one. Also very heavy bass line. I Like "Jaguar" of Odorono LP indeed.

  31. L.... K....

    Love how dramatic his vocals are on this

  32. A.... Z....

    Ninja Turtles song reminds

  33. T.... S....

    But through it all I kept my eyes on you

  34. d.... s....

    Maldita sea 💜💜💜💜💜💜 lo mejor del mundo, es como sentir un orgasmo.

  35. J.... W....

    it looks like he sucks the imaginary balls of hismicrophone

  36. H.... C....

    Maldito bajo de Peter me hace llorar.

  37. P.... T....

    Best 3 chords song ever

  38. P.... B....

    why this song has an end?

  39. J.... P....

    You can surf to this

  40. D.... ....

    what was this released on?

  41. L.... S....

    0:28 - 0:40

    The fuck happened with the drums? xD

    L.... S....

    Lynch Stan you're thinking way too into this its obviously part of the song dude lmao

    L.... S....

    No offense but you're not thinking at all, dude xD

    L.... S....

    This is hilarious - you two people are completely failing to connect. To my ears it sounds like a deliberate attempt to make the beat heavier, but it doesn't really work.

    L.... S....

    It is funny

    But if that was deliberate, it sounded pretty awkward. Glad it wasn't attempted again.

  42. J.... E....

    saudoso Ian curtis

  43. J.... ....

    now 57 twats...

  44. b.... a....

    There is something strangely sexy about this song

    b.... a....

    boredasheaven n try No Love Lost. Ian Curtis at his most attractiveness.

  45. B.... G....

    I play this in my car at high volume and journey through the underworld. Ian Curtis is my mobile shaman

    B.... G....

    yes! dude ive almost died so many times going nuts to joy division while driving and at the same time this band is literally what got me through. Ian fucking Curtis was an animal and left a mark so big in not only music but artistic freedom and expression to where people now arent afraid to wonder on the dark side and say it like they feel it. they were so fucking raw.

    B.... G....

    Awesome, mate, you get it! You understand the power. I love how fucking passionate true fans are

    B.... G....

    yes!!! i have always been completely obsessed with Joy Division . Its so relatable to real life. Man if youve never listened to Pentagram you should check out their first three albums. First daze here, Relentless, and Day of reckoning. theyre kind of on the other side of the spectrum more on the black sabbath side of things but theyre equally as raw to me and what real music is supposed to be. Iggy pop said it best,as well as neitzsche its Doinysic. its something so bright and powerful that it can only stand to happen once in humanity and with music it lasts forever as well as literature.

    B.... G....

    thanks for the recommendation - will check it out!

    Where are all these songs from? Ceremony. in a lonely place, and the kill are not on any album no?

    T.... D....

    Ceremony and The kill are on the STILL- Album.....

    Most Handsome Fella.

  56. I.... M....

    My favorite Joy DIvision song.

  57. P.... D....

    The bass is a crazy
    Joy division *--*

  58. D.... ....

    .....the ultimate "fuck you" track....epic....

  59. m.... ....

    Why didn't they include this song in one of their 2 released albums? It's fucking great, i dare to say better than some songs on 'Unknown Pleasures' and 'Closer', and personally my favorite Joy Division song...

    m.... ....

    +misteraxl1 the song was done in 1977 , 2 yrs before unknown pleasures

    m.... ....

    +misteraxl1 It was rerecorded for Unknown Pleasures but did not make the cut to be on the album. I would have loved to hear a proper Martin Hannett mix of this! Hook says in his book that this was the song where JD found their "sound".

  60. t.... ....

    tom karangelov

    t.... ....

    yes!!!!

  61. C.... S....

    Moved in a hired car,
    And I find no way to run,
    Adds every moment longer,
    Had no time for fun,
    Just something that I knew I had to do,
    But through it all I left my eyes on you.

    I had an impulse to clear it all away,
    Oh I used the tactics, make everybody pay,
    Just something that I knew I had to do,
    But through it all I kept my eyes on you.

    Oh, I keep it all clean,
    I've paid the graces there,
    No kings of misuse,
    No sellers of flesh,
    Just something that I knew I had to do,

    Yeah through it all I kept my eyes on you,
    But through it all I kept my eyes on you.

  62. J.... C....

    Another Great from Ian and the band that were Joy Division.

  63. J.... R....

    In my opinion I think Joy Division's best songs were either their singles or unreleased stuff like this for a number of reasons. One reason would probably be that it has a smaller crowd which makes the songs feel more special knowing that other people who actually really dig them are listening (rather than those people who just buy an unknown pleasures t shirt for love will tear us apart) and the other/main reason is simply because how they sound. This is by far my favorite Joy Division song tied with Atmosphere.

  64. S.... ....

    google is fucking eveil

  65. S.... ....

    fuck google

  66. S.... H....

    I would've loved to see Joy Division live!

    D.... T....

  69. T.... M....

  72. m.... ....

    Ian alive

    m.... ....

    @migotka78 We all wish! Lost, loved, never forgotten.

  73. P.... ....

    H.... S....

    @Juan Ch qué amigo a qué se debe tu agresión? La figura de Sabines no ha sido violentada, mis mayores respetos ante mi viejito favorito

    H.... S....

    @TURYMANS Seguramente un tipo muy orgulloso de su patria o simplemente no acepta la idea de que a alguien mas le guste la poesia de Sabines.

    H.... S....

  91. m.... ....

    Ian Curtis was so hot... I hope he is no longer suffering. x R.I.P.

  92. I.... A....

    right,but not only him,also that guy,whose name I can't remember actually, he's one of the band if I can remember well.. :)

  93. T.... ....

    Not "they" Ian was infatuated with WWII! The proof is in the book "Touching from a Distance" written by his wife Deborah Curtis.

  94. d.... c....

    and i don't insult you back cos i don't want to play your game

  95. d.... c....
