Isolation

This is a Joy Division cover song. Isolation appeared 1980 on the Manchester post-punk band Joy Division's second album, Closer. The original song is based upon an industrial beat by Stephen Morris, accompanied by a high-pitched keyboard line by Bernard Sumner. Midway through the song, a rushing drum and hi-hat motif come in, propelling the song toward its dramatic end in what resembles a compact disc skipping, followed by a sudden electronic crescendo.

[Verse] Every evening, every day Calling for love that's from above Everyone wanting it for real Expecting devotion and love [Chorus] Isolation Isolation Isolation Isolation [Verse] Surrender to self preservation And others who cannot themselves Life has been touched to perfection A face is like anything else [Chorus] Isolation Isolation Isolation Isolation [Verse] Mother I tried, do believe me I'm doing the best things that I can I'm ashamed of the things that I've been put through I'm ashamed of the person who I am But if you could just see the beauty These things I could never describe Pleasurable ways of distraction This is my wanting cry [Chorus] Isolation Isolation Isolation Isolation Isolation Isolation Isolation Isolation Isolation Isolation Isolation
