  • Every time I think of you
    I feel shot right through with a bolt of blue
    It's no problem of mine
    But it's a problem I find
    Living a life that I can't leave behind
    But there's no sense in telling me
    The wisdom of the fool won't set you free
    But that's the way that it goes
    And it's what nobody knows
    Well every day my confusion grows

    Every time I see you falling
    I get down on my knees and pray
    I'm waiting for that final moment
    You say the words that I can't say

    I feel fine and I feel good
    I'm feeling like I never should
    Whenever I get this way
    I just don't know what to say
    Why can't we be ourselves like we were yesterday
    I'm not sure what this could mean
    I don't think you're what you seem
    I do admit to myself
    That if I hurt someone else
    Then I'll never see just what we're meant to be

    Every time I see you falling
    I get down on my knees and pray
    I'm waiting for that final moment
    You say the words that I can't say

    Ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah
    Ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah
    Ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah
    (Every time I see you falling
    I get down on my knees and pray
    I'm waiting for that final moment
    You say the words that I can't say
    Every time I see you falling
    I get down on my knees and pray
    I'm waiting for that final moment
    You say the words that I can't say)
    Every time I see you falling
    I get down on my knees and pray
    I'm waiting for that final moment
    You say the words that I can't say Writer/s: Bernard Sumner, Gillian Lesley Gilbert, Peter Hook, Stephen Paul David Morris

  • Neil from Australia This is one of the true gems of the 80’s. Sums up the complexities of ‘does he/she or doesn’t he/she’ until total confusion sets in. One mammoth dance track to get lost in when clubbing. Deep, tender, insightful.
  • Tony from San Diego, CaI agree with u Jeff in Austin. This page SHOULD be filled with comments. Love grooving to this at 420 . Love the bittersweet uncertainty about it .
  • Rick from Mason City, IaNO, one of the best "synthpop" bands of the 80's, 90's....One of my all time favorite club hits to dance to!!! Love that their song titles don't appear in the lyrics. Makes them unique. "Everytime I see you falling, I get down on my knees and pray..."
  • Eugene from Minneapolis, MnYes! This song makes me wanna get down and boogie!!! This was the first time that I've ever heard of this incredible band which was back in the fall of 1986.
  • Susan from Airdrie, -The absolute BEST dance song in the universe, hands down, no question!
  • Jeff from Austin, TxI agree with you Scott. I figured this page would be full of comments.
    This song is an 80s landmark. A true dance classic. One of the catchiest songs you'll ever hear.
  • Jen from Salt Lake City, UtThis is one of the best songs ever. God I miss New Order.
  • Eric from Fairbanks, AkThis song has been stuck in my head for three weeks! What is the Universe trying to tell me??
  • Rud from Hollywood, FlBizarre Love Triangle Is One Of My Top 5 Favorite Songs! I Hope I Could See Them Live!
  • Scott from Baton Rouge, LaThis song jams ! One of New Order's best tunes. I'm surprised there aren't more comments on it.
  • Ole from Oslo, NorwayApoptygma Berzerk covered "Bizarre Love Triangle" on their "Sonic Diary" album in 2006.
