    Lyrics:
    [Intro]
    Radio, live transmission
    Radio, live transmission
    [Verse 1]
    Listen to the silence, let it ring on
    Eyes, dark grey lenses frightened of the sun
    We would have a fine time living in the night
    Left to blind destruction, waiting for our sight
    [Verse 2]
    And we would go on as though nothing was wrong
    And hide from these days we remained all alone
    Staying in the same place, just staying out the time
    Touching from a distance, further all the time
    [Chorus]
    Dance, dance, dance, dance, dance, to the radio
    Dance, dance, dance, dance, dance, to the radio
    Dance, dance, dance, dance, dance, to the radio
    Dance, dance, dance, dance, dance, to the radio
    [Verse 3]
    Well I could call out when the going gets tough
    The things that we've learnt are no longer enough
    No language, just sound, that's all we need know
    To synchronise love to the beat of the show
    And we could dance
    [Chorus]
    Dance, dance, dance, dance, dance, to the radio
    Dance, dance, dance, dance, dance, to the radio
    Dance, dance, dance, dance, dance, to the radio
    Dance, dance, dance, dance, dance, to the radio

      Greil Marcus , a rock historian and rock critic who's a really good writer, wrote a book called The History of Rock and roll in 10 songs. And one of the chapters is completely about transmission by Joy division. It's a great book for lots of reasons. Pax.

      Post-punk. All the happy sounds of normie pop, with the rebellious lyricism and attitude of a generation that saw through the ruse. A movement created by modernism, only to chastise it's own Maladaptive roots. It bites the hand that feeds, but only because it fed them trash.

    Yes. Amazing that this song has the same bass line throughout and yet it so captivating. I'm mid 40's and I can only imagine what a teenager at the time was thinking when they heard this song come on vs. what was out at the time. Must have been wild.

    I'm so used to listening to their live shows (the very few there are that are decent quality) that I prefer the live version much more than the album one. I love hearing Ian's impassioned shouts when he sung live.
