"Perfect Kiss"
I stood there beside myself,
Thinking hard about the weather
Then came by a friend of mine
Suggested we go out together
Then I knew it from the start:
This friend of mine would fall apart
Pretending not to see his gun,
I said "let's go out and have some fun"
I know, you know, you believe in a land of love
I know, you know, we believe in a land of love
I have always thought about
Staying here and going out
Tonight I should have stayed at home,
Playing with my pleasure zone
He has always been so strange,
I'd often thought he was deranged
Pretending not to see his gun,
I said "let's go out and have some fun"
I know, you know, we believe in a land of love
I know, you know, we believe in a land of love
When you are alone at night
You search yourself for all the things
That you believe are right
If you give it all away
You throw away your only chance to be here today
Then a fight breaks out on your street
You lose another broken heart in a land of meat
My friend, he took his final breath
Now I know the perfect kiss is the kiss of death

I love New Order dearly (up to the World Cup single), but this is further proof that New Order lyrics should never be written out.

three years pass...
one year passes...
seven years pass...
Who is the 'friend' in New Orders song Perfect Kiss?
Thank You
I thought this was going to be about who the guy standing in the doorway of the video is. For years I thought it was Gretton, and then someone told me it was Wilson but watching it now for the hundredth time I'm still not convinced.
