Joy Division - Novelty
.
When the people listen to you don't you know it means a lot
Cos' you've got to work so hard for everything you've got
Can't rest on your laurels now - not when you've got none
You'll find yourself in the 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
Can't stand on your own in these times against all the odds
You all just fall behind like all the other sods

You slap your back and pretend you knew
About all the things that we were gonna do
What ya gonna do, what ya gonna do when it's over?

You're all on your own now - don't you think that a shame
But you're 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 your back and pretend you knew
About all the things we were gonna do
What ya gonna do, what ya gonna do when it's over?
