No Picture Kornowski - Wanna Be	#2 by Kornowski - Im не русский, Бог Черт возьми! at Sep 18, 1978 at 4:18 PM EST
	butterflykiss84: Actually, the title word "Regret" is mentioned in the third line of the song. But your fact would hold true for many of their other songs.

No Picture Razor wrist Lead Player	#3 by Razor wrist at Nov 4, 1979 at 5:30 PM EST
	This is probably my favorite song of all time. I'm of two minds about this song. On one hand it's about a guy who's screwing up his life and is tired of his girlfriend lecturing him and in turn, his girlfirend is tired too and is leaving him. So the song is a bitter tirade about how the main character doesn't actually need people but rather just shelter and a telephone and he'll be fine and how you can keep telling yourself that things will improve but they never will and it will just make you crazy and fill you with false hope. Just accept what you've got and move along. My other mind says that it's about a guy who WAS messed up but met this amazing person who helped him get back on track starting small (a place to call his own, etc..). Though this person may have lost all his old friends and everything he used to have it really dosn't matter because he has this great person and life can surely only get better from here. The last line is a throwback to his old friends who were also messed up but keep saying they'll get better but they never will. I like this interpretation better.

No Picture kev Average	#4 by kev fitzgerald at Jun 17, 1981 at 7:47 PM EST
	my girlfriend loves this song. :) it's about living life without any regrets, i guess. New Order's songs tend to be so beautifully cryptic, it's anybody's guess what they really mean.

No Picture klown Rhythm Player	#5 by klown at Aug 25, 1989 at 2:57 AM EST
	yeah, these lyrics are correct and accurate. the part i really like about this song is the last verse. as if it was some last thought Bernard Sumner hastily tacked onto the end. to me, it makes the entire song and sums it up nicely.

No Picture Marcus19 Rhythm Player	#6 by Marcus19 Doug at Oct 29, 1989 at 6:00 AM EST
	"Just wait till tomorrow" That's a phrase many people tell their boyfriend/girlfriend before the breakup. Sadly accurate.

No Picture Average	#7 by vix at Oct 12, 1991 at 11:28 PM EST
	this is my favorite music ever!!

No Picture nick Wanna Be	#8 by nick at Jun 11, 2005 at 7:21 AM EST
	This a fantastic song, and I like the coda to. It is like an afterthought, but sums up the whole song beautifully :] Is it me or do all New Order's singles have a title that is never mentioned in the lyrics to the song?
