"Remember saying things like 'we'll sleep when we're dead'
And thinking this feeling was never gonna end.

Remember that night you were already in bed, 
Said 'fuck it' got up to drink with me instead

#64 (of 365) "Age of Consent" New Order

5/3/2026

 
This song is 43 years old. Came out when I was 11. I discovered it when I was 18 or 19. It still rocks. It's the 2nd highest New Order song to make this list, and the one above it was kinda almost maybe totally a Joy Division song. So this is peak New Order, I guess, one of my favorite 2 or 3 for the entirety of the 90s, or my 20s, the formative years of my musical fandom. "I'm not the kind who likes to tell you!"

Won't you please let me go?

These words lie inside, they hurt me so
And I'm not the kind that likes to tell you
Just what I want to do
I'm not the kind that needs to tell you
Just what you want me to
I saw you this morning
I thought that you might like to know
I received your message in full a few days ago
I understood every word that it said
And now that I've actually heard it
You're going to regret

And I'm not the kind that likes to tell you

Just what you want me to
You're not the kind that needs to tell me
About the birds and the bees
Do you find this happens all the time?
Crucial point one day becomes a crime
And I'm not the kind that likes to tell you
Just what I want to do
I'm not the kind that needs to tell you, oh

I've lost you, I've lost you, I've lost you, I've lost you, I've lost you
I've lost you, I've lost you, I've lost you, I've lost you, I've lost you
I've lost you, I've lost you, I've lost you, I've lost you, I've lost you

"Age Of Consent" - New Order // Power, Corruption, & Lies (1983)
