| Matty - don't get too uptight about it. They are not really about
anything, although there is a vague tendency toward 'you've just left
me, oh woe'.
When New Order compose songs, the lyrics are usually left till last.
Barney hates writing lyrics, and usually a 'guide vocal' of reasonable
gibberish is left on the track right up until the last minute. In the
case of 'every little counts', it was left on full stop!
He probably just took a few isolated images of things that happened to
him, and put together a few words. There is no great meaning.
My 2p worth.

| Mike is sort of right....
New order can only write programs, not lyrics.

| JuJu, What about `Love Vigilantes' then!
`1963' must be on about something. Is Barney gay?

I don't have the Subbuteo rules. Do you have a spare wall chart with

| New Order like to keep a low profile and let their music speak
for itself.

| "When I got through the door, my wife she laid upon the floor,
and with tears, her eyes were sore,
I did not know why.
Then I looked into her hand, and I saw the telegram,
it said that I had been a brave brave man,
but that I was dead!"
classic!

Well, it's a very nice love song, and I don't think Barney is gay.
That's *my* opinion.
'1963' has got to be in the Top 10 fave New Order songs. I've
been listening to it for the past week and it's getting better
each time I listen to it. Totally spellbinding.
And anyway, whoever said that Barney writes all the lyrics.
I know that Gillian, Steve and Peter write lyrics as well.
Leave Barney alone!

| 692.13 | Got Any Veras?!?! | UPROAR::PLOWMAND | everything you know is wrong | Thu Nov 25 1993 16:56 | 10 |
| On the subject of "what the hell are they saying" my sister asked me
today if I knew what "Veras" where - is it cockney rhyming slang for
something? In Ebeneezer Good by The Shamen apparently he shouts out
"Got any veras?" - at least that is apparently what it sounds like! I
can't remember that bit myself - can anyone shed any light on this?!
Thanks,
Debs.
