The final verse is taken from Still
I'll break them down, no mercy shown
Heaven knows, it's got to be this time
Avenues all lined with trees
Picture me and then you start watching
Watching forever - watching forever
Watching love grow - forever
Letting me know - forever"
-Written By Ian Curtis
Rehearsed & Recorded by Joy Division initially
Joy Division performed "Ceremony" live only once, at their final show 2 May 1980 at High Hall, Birmingham University. This is available on Still (A Joy Division Compiliation album). This performance features a slightly different lyric in the last verse; Curtis sings 'picture me in ten years time watching' whereas the New Order version lyric is ' picture me and then you start watching'.
Joy Division changed my life.
