"my view stretches out from the fence to the wall"

that is, of course, Joy Division,
from "The Eternal" off the album "Closer",
more emotional, serene and beautiful music
isnt available,
it makes me furious when i read that james blunt
is the new Ian Curtis, wtf, how can one even come up with THAT
idea??! Its so retarded its laughable

"Procession moves on, the shouting is over,
Praise to the glory of loved ones now gone.
Talking aloud as they sit round their tables,
Scattering flowers washed down by the rain.
Stood by the gate at the foot of the garden,
Watching them pass like clouds in the sky,
Try to cry out in the heat of the moment,
Possessed by a fury that burns from inside.

Cry like a child, though these years make me older,
With children my time is so wastefully spent,
A burden to keep, though their inner communion,
Accept like a curse an unlucky deal.
Played by the gate at the foot of the garden,
My view stretches out from the fence to the wall,
No words could explain, no actions determine,
Just watching the trees and the leaves as they fall."

This song is, at least to some parts, about Ian's
childhood neighbour, a boy who suffered from Downs Syndrome,
he used to walk around in the back garden of the house,
years later when Ian visited the childhood home
that boy was still wandering around in that back garden,
apparently he never ever leaves the house,
and thus "my view stretches out from the fence to the wall",
but I guess its pretty much how Ian felt inside of him as well,
at least on the 18th of May 1980 ..
