The Only Mistake lyrics

Song information

Artist: Joy Division
Album: Permanent

Lyrics

Made the fatal mistake
Like I did once before
A tendency just to take
Til the purpose turned sour

Strain, take the strain, these days we love
Strain, take the strain, these days we love

Yeah, the only mistake was that you ran away
Avenues lined with trees, strangled words for the day
Yeah, the only mistake, like I made once before
Yeah, the only mistake, could have made it before

Strain, take the strain, these days we love
Strain, take the strain, these days we love

And the only mistake, led to rumours unfound
Led to pressures unknown, different feelings and sounds
Yeah, the only mistake, like I made once before
Yeah, the only mistake, could have made it before
