- Face B of the single "Ceremony" (1981), sung by Bernie. I used the second issue of FAC. 33, slightly
remixed, available on the Substance compilation (1987).
- The first part comprises the verses and a synth bass line, in the 2nd part Peter Hook plays its bass line.
- That Joy Division song, originally sang by Ian Curtis, was also recorded during their last rehearsals in
1980, with low audio quality. A shortened version is on Heart and Soul. The full version was released on a
limited EP edition in 2011 but the Peter Hook’s bass line has some important differences with New Order's
version.
- I have also tabbed the main synth and melodica riffs.
- Play with chorus and reverb (you can also add delay).

Caressing the marble and stone
Love that was special for one
The waste in the fever and heat
How I wish you were here with me now

[Verse 2]
Body that curls in and hides
Hardships that often belie
Warm like a dog round your feet
How I wish you were here with me now

[Verse 3]
Hangman looks round as he waits
Cord stretches tight then breaks
Someday we will die in your dreams
How I wish we were here with you now
