Everything about this song is pure perfection. Ask yourself, What ya gonna do when the Novelty has gone.

I heard this the first time in my brother’s attic room on a small record player. Sometime in 1979. Never had heard anything like it. I was mesmerised.

Poetry of those who do not quite fit into this world. How refreshing for those who struggle functionally in it

It's my favorite song by them, the very first JD song I played when I joined a band in the '80s. I love the guitar parts, so much fun to rock out on stage.

I feel sorry for those who never discovered this gem of a song.

The guitar from 3:10 to 3:20 is one of best things in all of Joy Division and that is no small thing.

Funny enough this is actually my first time listening to this song from JD and damm it's a good one!

Immortal song 🎶

One of the best songs of joy division!

JD has a very incredible discography, they created a sound nobody else had, and this song stands out from even the others they made, while not my absolute favorite, it’s definitely up there, the high energy and fast paced beat really makes this song, I would say it’s almost frantic; when the novelty is gone, they make a last ditch effort to save themselves from obsolescence.

The absolute best song ever written by Joy division. Bass is fantastic and lyrics are heartfelt. Not to mention bernards guitar and fantastic percussion of Stephen Morris, best song ever written

This is one of the best Joy Division songs there is....and a B side.....great music and the lyrics are brutally honest...spot on....

This is Joy Div's Best Song for me, listening to it, more & more since I discovered it last night.

Love and miss this band soo much.

This one of my favorite songs. It is driving and has a good delivery. I first heard this on 99.1 with Weasel as D-J, when it was released. Tremendous, non stoppable delivery.

One of my favs

I could binge listen to some of joy divisions’s music foreverrrr🤟🤟

Peter hook wrote this,a fookin classic!

I have loved this song since I first heard it in late 1979. I was very ill at the time - still struggling with it ! - but this band have always helped.

This is one of my favorite joy Division songs

My favourite Joy Division song. G-d, Bless You, Ian.

“Can’t rest on your laurels now .. ..Not when you got none “.

Loving, many decades later. This tune says so many things. One of their best. Love!!

This played in mind so many times, only now I can listen it

Máster piece! Joy División forever

Amazing song! ❤

I’d never heard of them in USA until watching Normal People. Since then I’ve heard them mentioned repeatedly. So many good artists’ favorite band. They were terrific. So sad about the singer’s suicide.

No podía dejar de escucharla y justo suben los lyrics, me encanta

13 thumbs up and no views.. I don't understand.. I don't have to.. so I listen and enjoy..

I was absolutely crazy about this song when I was 14. 35 now.

The best!!

Love this one

I love this

Classic 🔥

It says here that this was taken from their first studio album - not quite true,it's taken of course from "Transmission" as the B-side.

Obra maestra! Mi tema favorito de JD

A superb b side.better than most a sides.Joy Division makes my life worth living.

One of my first tape trades in 1990. First time I heard this JD classic!

Wow!!!!!🤘🏻❤

el mejor tema de joy division

One word "Perfection"

RIP IAN! You were the darkness!

When people listen to you, don't you know it means a lot? 'Cause you've got to work so hard for everything you've got Can't rest on your laurels now Not when you've got none You'll find yourself in a gutter Right back where you came from Someone told me being in the know is the main thing We all need the security that belonging brings Can't stand on your own in these times Against all the odds You all just fall behind like all the other sods You slap our backs and pretend you knew about All the things that we were gonna do What ya gonna do, what ya gonna do When it's over? You're on your own now, don't you think that's a shame? But you're the only one responsible to take the blame So what ya gonna do when the novelty has gone? Yeah, what ya gonna do when the novelty has gone? You slap our backs and pretend you knew about All the things we were gonna do What ya gonna do, what ya gonna do When it's over?

The best joy division b side

México es el país q más escucha a joy division

Only song where hooky plays down tempo bass,like their first single.

De mis canciones favoritas de JD ❤️❤️❤️

🖤

WAITTTTTT THIS IS CRAZY😭😭😭

Funny how I never listened to this when it was the B side due to the intro. It always sounded a bit Hollies Long Cool Woman … particularly the guitar. (Go take a listen). But I’ve found myself listening to JD again a lot after 42 years, including 88’s Substance. Sheeet… this is easily one of their best.

🍷

I’ve just sent this amazing tune to Boris in light that he may stop combining is hair with a toffee apple and appreciate Joy Division for what it is and not wanting to be the leader of the real Nazi party.

😍😍😍😍

I hear hints of many metal bands in it, ac dc, rob halford, accept, even iron maiden, and others, a little bit of early 80's metal sound, maybe they were inspired by joy division or this was late 70's general metal beginnings among many.

Cant get this out of my head during a comedown anhedonia.

😍😍

By right, brothers and sisters. By RIGHT!!!

I hope you put more lyrics

remaster the better rock version please on the deluxe version of unknown pleasures please

So what you going to do when the novelty has gone?

Flip side to the 7" single of 'Transmission' ! dx

*The Puzzle of Gendering* The gendering of male and female aspects into nature and man-made concepts is a big tradition that has seeped right into the languages of mankind. The puzzle of gendering, however, is not as simple as it appears and not always related to social constructs but to Creation or evolution. This is because, regardless of whether one believes in Creation of God or that of a Darwinian report, the aspects of male and female were not split apart evenly in either Creation or cell division or the spirit. This is what imparts the physical attraction of male and female. The major enduring question is to find which aspects were "switched at birth" so to speak that impart this attraction and confuse the simple gendering process. A female is rarely destructive or violent. That is a good place to begin as to which male processes are actually feminine.

the last guitar solo................. these white boys had it

NEU! "motorik" drum at its finest

my fav of JD

Novelty is not on unknown pleasures as far a i remember.

New dawn fades needs to be added to this series

Survive the first 30 seconds...!!!

*Surreal Justice* Trust the world and you shall reap its rewards. Reality is a modern art movement. Speak honestly and people will love you for it. The vast truth is more twisted, misaligned, gnarled, and formless. Creativity breaks the rules then rearranges them. Integrity in engineering sells products not advertising.

This isn't on unkown pleasures. At least its not on the vinyl or the CD i have

*The Definitive Bully* "Crutches" Bullying is really a simple definition that people tend to inflate. It is merely when one person uses another as a sort of permanent crutch. This can get especially annoying because of the telepathic interconnectedness in the mind's communication. Bullies tend to have more sexual activity because people tend to avoid authority and the limelight so they can sneak away with each other.

*Death in a Car* Get in the car and drive to the bar. Tracks along the way. The smell of gas, knife in the box, gun on your lap, remembering all the day. -Merkwad

*The Gulper’s Die* “Faces in the Devil Grass Fires” Question: You have a long stretch of desert to cross and only a gallon of water. You know that if you sip a little every day you can make it across and live to tell about it. Do you sip it every day, or splurge and take gulps knowing you’ll probably die? Be honest, now. Did you gulp? Did you forget to measure at the beginning? Sip or die, Roland. Sip or die. 😮 The Prince of Wealth and The Fool Who is Blind, but not for you… One for sip. One for die. One for sip. One for die…

One of my favorites from Joy Division, but whoever wrote the description need to fix the huge error…this track isn’t on Unknown Pleasures. Should have been though!

Behold! For the Kingdom of God is taking root, and it is much like the Devil's, and Jesus never showed, and I have witnessed it firsthand. Aw. They expected a light show.

I wish hooky would cover this

*The ASME (American Society of Mechanical Engineers) on Shop Culture* 1902 "Education in the Machine Shops" "Give me a place to stand, and I will move the Earth." -Archimedes "If the alchemical poeticism be allowed, even matter, if properly tortured, slain, and resurrected, contains the innate potentiality of revealing the Hermetic mercury of eternal being. With the atomic accelerator at their disposal, modern physicists, indeed, have the capability to change lead into gold." -The Pythagorean Sourcebook and Library "Great party, isn't it?" -Stanley Kubrick's "The Shining" -Oberlin Smith

Interesting version

Its over....

Fuckin awesome 😝😝😝😝😝

One of their best songs. The solo reminds me of early Oasis. I wonder if Noel Gallagher was directly inspired by this. I know he was a fan.

*A Competitive Genesis of the Mysteries* At the end of all knowledge lies the place nobody like to go to. It is the end that justified the beginning. It completes the circle in a recurring idiocy. It is the artistic drop-off point, supposedly so intelligent that it has become irrelevant is a state of mind as warped as it inception. Here it is, the end of all knowledge and ambition as twisted as a Lovecraftian portal. There are two immortals. There are those who complete the way of knowledge and those who never attempt it. "Herein, lie all the mysteries, but be warned, for they are threefold!" "As above, so below." -Thoth 1. The end justifies the means. The means justify themselves. These are the two to legal extremes. 2. Two for the makers, one for the fools. Here lies the birth of math and economics. 3. The more you know, the less you show. This especially concerns those who dream. 4. Help to keep the mysteries, for those under them bring treasures. 5. I summon thee for wine, and from wine you are summoned. This concerns the true birth of Jesus. 6. A screen is a screen, no matter how high or how low. A screen is a calling. It screens out those below. As high as the stars or under the dirt, a screen is complexity that those under shall work. This concerns ambition and drive in men. 7. A man who sees only a mirror sees only himself in others. Instead, make the mirror in all its forms. The you will see the other, though owning a man will sometimes send him to the healers, especially when you look at him and he doesn't notice. 8. Females are born of Lilith. They only generate to the lesser. 9. A god is made of paper and reeds. It is here by which they summon the spirits. 10. "As above, so below" has to do with the digestion of information which requires relaxed humility. Christianity tried to monopolize it through humility to the Bible, thus imparting torture to millions. -Francis Blake

*The Secret Key to Vampirism* “Interview With An Empty Skull” The actual truth about real living vampires, despite all rumors and stories, is that they are just airheads with the key to society. Society and its individuals grow slowly more complex over time. The vampires wait for you to get a complex then they open their umbrellas and own you by its simple similes. The mirror of the self will automatically see another as similar or as complex, however vampires remain simple and can also be extremely sharp. This is why witches hate vampires. The witch is complexity. Still one cannot tell them apart. If a vampire family sees you get a complex they’ll probably destroy you. Most of the world is about giving you a complex. This is how they grow so powerful. A vampire bite doesn’t give you a complex it takes it away. The sunlight becomes naturally brighter over time. Be warned. *Cross Immunity:* Flinging passages. Freaks on leashes. Four hidden doorways. Standing behind you. Spitting book gum after chewing.

Very nice 😍💋 💝💖♥️❤️

um ... this great song preceded "Unknown Pleasures" and was not on that album!
