New Order - The Village Lyrics






When a new life turns towards you
And the night becomes a bay
We shall remain forever
Everyone who meets his way
Oh, our love is like the flowers
The rain and the sea and the hours
Oh, our love is like the flowers
The rain and the sea and the hours

When the rain falls to the sea
They'll be waiting for you and for me
And the sky reflects our image
Trying to sleep right through our lives

Oh, our love is like the earth
The sun and the trees and the birth
Oh, our love is like the earth
The sun and the trees and the birth

I am still here two days later
Same place, same time
And I'm stuck here two years too long
Same place, the wrong time

Oh, our love is like the flowers
The rain and the sea and the hours
Oh, our love is like the flowers
The sun and the sea and the hours

Their love died three years ago
Spoken words I cannot show

  18. U.... I....

    wish the lyrics were here

  19. D.... T....

    That last verse is so sad

    D.... T....

    Isn't about time that Stephen Morris and Gillian Gilbert got some credit for creating this ? Peter Hook and Barney were the faces but c'mon....

  20. C.... H....

    Seriously underrated song holy cow. This is definitely my favorite, hands down.

  21. N.... S....

  22. M.... R....

    Even in my 40s it still sounds brilliant! Never gets old!

  23. S.... L....

    Listen to Stephen's drumming on this tune........AMAZING!!!!! He's a brilliant drummer......A DRUM MACHINE !!!! is what he is.

    Another killer New Order tune and one of John Peel's favs.

  25. S.... L....

    Oh, our love is like the flowers The rain the sea and the hours. What a great line for a song. These guys were amazing. To continue on without Ian and make such great music, is a testament to how GREAT!!!!! they really were.

    EXTREMELY UNDERRATED SONG FROM AN 'ALL-TIME" ALBUM

    M.... D....

    Greatest New Order Album. I know, cause I was the first to hear of New Order in Oklahoma way back in 1987 :) they were more popular than they ever knew ;) I broke the hell out of the Power Corruption and Lies cassette!

  29. V.... L....

    When a new life turns towards you
    And the night becomes a bay
    We shall remain forever
    Everyone who meets his way
    Oh, our love is like the flowers
    The rain and the sea and the hours
    Oh, our love is like the flowers
    The rain and the sea and the hours

    When the rain falls to the sea
    They'll be waiting for you and for me
    And the sky reflects our image
    Trying to sleep right through our lives

    Oh, our love is like the earth
    The sun and the trees and the birth
    Oh, our love is like the earth
    The sun and the trees and the birth

    I am still here two days later
    Same place, same time
    And I'm stuck here two years too long
    Same place, the wrong time

    Oh, our love is like the flowers
    The rain and the sea and the hours
    Oh, our love is like the flowers
    The sun and the sea and the hours

    Their love died three years ago
    Spoken words I cannot show

  30. D.... H....

    This song always gets me... happy happy happy, then "their love died 3 years ago" instant sadness...

  31. B.... L....

    this entire album is my life right now.

    B.... L....

    Brian Lombera its been my life since i was a teeny weeny.

  32. R.... C....

  33. P.... R....

    New Order was growing up.Joy Division was genius, let New Order take over and wash all over you.Dance,smile,love.Here we go......

    P.... R....

    Peter Robertson amen

  34. g.... ....

  36. G.... ....

    Makes me so fukin happy!

  37. D.... P....

    The first recorded bernard woop at 1.16????

    D.... P....

    +Danny Piesley There's one on Age of Consent. And he did it live in New York (the earliest I've seen him do it) at the Ukranian National Home.

    D.... P....

    FinalPerception

  38. J.... M....

    And suddenly it's springtime...

  39. J.... L....

    Great cover to Best friend-The drums

    J.... L....

    Ummm...This song came out about 25 years earlier sooo...

    J.... L....

    Jajaja really? Genious!!

    J.... L....

    @Casey Nelson
    he's one of those "stealth trolls"...

  40. C.... ....

    Cracking album, quite possibly the greatest ever

    C.... ....

    +Chefdicedfoot
    By NO yes...

  41. A.... H....

    SUPREME!

  42. R.... C....

    Why does the song end so suddenly?

    R.... C....

    that's the way it's mixed on the record because it goes straight into the next song

    R.... C....

    it is typical ( you might say a trademark)of songs from the eighties to have sudden end rather than fade away

    R.... C....

    Bjørn Richter of which im a big fan.

  43. N.... C....

    It's fucking ripped off, if anything.

  44. F.... J....

    absolutely ! amazing songs ! age of consent and the village. I listen to them every morning driving to work.

    Frank from Sports Betting Solution

  45. C.... M....

    totally agree.

  46. c.... ....

    without a doubt.

  47. f.... ....

    I love it. One of their best album. New Order was more than "Blue Monday".

    f.... ....

    Yes. Just like the Church was far more than "Under the Milky Way"

  48. t.... s....

    does 0:44 not remind you of 'Sunday Morning'? i've heard the whole band were a big fan of them

  49. g.... ....

    I like the Vu but I'm struggling to think of what song it reminds you of

  50. K.... F....

    love this band and yes barney could sing when he didn't try, well sais my friend!

  51. W.... E....

    Putting the joy in Joy Division.

  52. H.... D....

    Sumner could sing when he didn't try.

  53. t.... s....

    nice velvet underground influence in this song

  54. o.... ....

    how old are you?

  55. p.... a....

    3 people are village people dem

  56. S.... S....

    +1 It's time for a NO dance party.

  57. o.... ....

    seriously how the fuck can anyone dislike this song? are you even human our are you an robot with no soul.

  58. o.... ....

    3 people are not in our village!

  59. k.... m....

    the adverts at the side of these excellent new order tunes are fucking repetitive !!!!!!!!!!!

  60. j.... ....

    if you love new order that much try joy division :D:D:D:D:D:D
    RIP ian curtis.

  61. G.... G....

    agreed

  62. J.... P....

    best band ever

  63. P.... N....

    i love how it stops so abruptly and leads right into 5 8 6

  64. P.... N....

    5 8 6 is Blue Monday's younger brother, and the Village is both of thier cousin.

  65. H.... D....

    Blue monday's optimistic brother and 586's cousin.

  66. P.... H....

    my bowl packing song

  67. m.... ....

    I'm 2 and I still love New Order

  68. A.... ....

    @clayguy33 I definitely agree. I love listening to the Drums, but mostly because they've borrowed so much of New Order's original style.

  69. N.... S....

    I remember the late, great John Peel playing this awesome track - probably my fav New Order song!

  70. G.... B....

    Didn't fully realize how much the Drums are borrowing from New Order until I heard this song again.

  71. N.... A....

    This album never tires, never feels old.

  72. f.... s....

    NEW FAVORITE TOO!!!

  73. H.... ....

    when a new life to towards you....

  74. B.... K....

    @IraDiva discovering NO in 82 was like a door had opened up in my brain, never got over it either : ^ )

  75. B.... ....

    This is a fucking tune without peer.

  76. R.... U....

    @margaretregan Maybe because of your name.

  77. W.... ....

    wallstv

  78. k.... ....

    @steveandaugie It refers to Ians suicide

  79. k.... ....

    @steveandaugie It refers to Ians suicide

  80. n.... ....

    one of my most fave albums ever

  81. H.... ....

    "Their love died three years ago
    Spoken words I cannot show"

    What does this mean? It seems so specific. Is it futile to contemplate any meanings of this song or does anyone have it figured out?

  82. f.... ....

    @Smiffster2006 lol thats what i was thinking.....she must come from mars haha

  83. s.... 0....

    One of the finest albums ever done. Got the stamp as well now!

  84. J.... ....

    Forgot about this one!

  85. s.... ....

    @margaretregan Never heard of New Order? What planet have you been living on? lol

  86. c.... ....

    Forest Houses
    sacred rivers
    animals are
    wild delighted.
    flowers without petals
    in angry wind
    warm breaths
    carpeted homes

  87. c.... ....

    THE CHELSEA´S SEQUOIA BUILDING 16,1/46-3
    THE CHELSEA´S SEQUOIA BUILDING 16,2/46-3
    ( SIMPLY RED- TO BE FREE )

  88. B.... K....

    I'm with you DUMB :)

  89. R.... D....

    Best new order album bar none, everything they did in 1983 was so ahead of its time!

  90. s.... ....

    P.S. thanks for posting!!!!!!

  91. s.... ....

    A couple years ago I started to listen to this album after all these years and a couple months later I was able to see New Order in Chicago...Talk about luck...great show.This album is on of my top ten DEFENITELY!!!!

  92. c.... ....

    forest houses
    sacred rivers
    animal are
    wild delighted .
    flowers without petals
    in angry wind
    warm breath
    carpeted homes

  93. m.... ....

    Definitely the purest and most organic of their albums, and this song- one of their few unambiguous love songs, no lamenting or questioning. It's still refreshing after all these years. I have to agree with AxDumbaxA55, one of the best albums, produced, recorded, put together, however you want to quantify it. Very groundbreaking in it's own unassuming way.

  94. c.... ....

    What was the first song you ever hear of New Order? In which circonstance did you accidentally discovered on of their songs?What about Joy Division, do you like them too?

  95. c.... ....

    this song is sweet. (not "bitchin" sweet, "sweet" sweet.

  96. B.... ....

    Figures

  97. m.... ....

    I was born in 1980.

  98. B.... ....

    Margaret, let me guess. You were not yet born or under the age of 10 in 1988?

  99. S.... ....

    I know what you mean. New Order brought me the best years of my life. It's cool how when I go back to them I always seem to be on my way up again.

  100. m.... ....

    Still loving this song and this band!!!
