New Order - Temptation (Live at Alexandra Palace, 2018)

Lyrics:
A heaven, a gateway, a hope
Just like a feeling I need, it's no joke
And though it hurts me to treat you this way
Betrayed by words I've never heard, too hard to say

Up, down, turn around
Please don't let me hit the ground
Tonight, I think I'll walk alone
I'll find my soul as I go home

Up, down, turn around
Please don't let me hit the ground
Tonight, I think I'll walk alone
I'll find my soul as I go home

Ooooo
Ooooo
Ooooo
Ooooo
Ooooo
Ooooo
Ooooo
Ooooo

Each way I turn I know I'll always try
To break this circle that's been placed around me
From time to time I find I've lost some need
It was urgent to myself, I do believe

Up, down, turn around
Please don't let me hit the ground
Tonight, I think I'll walk alone
I'll find my soul as I go home

Up, down, turn around
Please don't let me hit the ground
Tonight, I think I'll walk alone
I'll find my soul as I go home

Oh, you've got green eyes
Oh, you've got blue eyes
Oh, you've got grey eyes
Oo, you've got green eyes
Oh, you've got blue eyes
You've got grey eyes

And I've never seen anyone quite like you before
No, I've never met anyone quite like you before

Bolts from above hurt the people down below
People in this world, we have no place to go
Bolts from above hurt the people down below
People in this world, we have no place to go
Bolts from above hurt the people down below
People in this world, we have no place to go
Bolts from above hurt the people down below
People in this world, we have no place to go

Oh, it's the last time, oh, it's the last time
Oh, it's the last time, oh, it's the last time
Oh, it's the last time

Oh, I've never met anyone quite like you before
Oh, no, I've never met anyone quite like you before

What gets me teary is the fact that every single audience member seems to be having the time of their lives. The all encompassing joy is palpable.

[DC-ipsc]

The kind of music you just hope never stops.

[canadude]

Temptation is in the top 3 songs for me. .... Not just for New Order, but for EVERY song I have ever heard. It's THAT good! It makes my hair stand up, even after hearing it for the first time over 35 years ago. If you are in the Toronto area and need a wing man for the Sept 17 show....give me a shout! I must attend the show!

[gilbrandofreitas]

The band certainly came from future to bring this style of music for everyone.

[liebo]

NewOrder, way ahead of their time and an influence for musicians in perpetuity.

[parati]

Extraordinary. It’s beautiful. They should each be given knighthoods or something like that. Their impact will be felt forever. I mean the joy they bring. It’s perfect.

Heaven A Gateway - I had tickets for this gig but my dad died on this day Nov 9th, possibly the best New Order song ❤

[Revheadrev]

Come on Pete and Bernie - square your shit away and get back on the road together

[jumofi]

Their best song to play live indeed...

[pamela]

Nothing like the human connection music can make. Thanks New Order.💙

[corazonpasive]

This is our era ...New wave of the 80s ...awesome

[chabelitatigerslady]

wie sehr wünschte ich mir, mit meinem Liebsten Marian dort gewesen zu sein💓❤️ Wonderful Sound, Great!!!👍🤩

[adrianalvarado]

Between the 2002 concert, and this concert, the diference of a good bass is noticiable
Hook was a better bassist and the strength in the sound of bass is a lot

[PrimitiveInTheExtreme]

The song. A piece of history. Great performance.

[Revheadrev]

By far my favourite New Order song. Perfection.

[raymondshawver]

Love it ! Great version … when I pass away from this world temptation will be playing !

[rbibbe]

Something about this song on a fall Friday night just hits with the cool, cold air..

[ElisaAmbriz-sfiq]

I saw them in Dallas last year and I can tell you is the most energetic concert I have been in years!!! Being a Mexican girl listening new order on the radio as a teenager and then seeing them live, omg!! Crying at the same time I was dancing and singing from the top of my lungs, and the guy in front of me !! In a wheelchair and I swear to God pulling himself from the floor!!

[Rosy-rwbc]

I have loved this band since 1984 when I was 14. They are the kings and queens of the 80s wave!!

[jumofi]

Hooky's bass is very missed on this one
