Irony?

When routine bites hard and ambitions are low

And resentment rides high but emotions won't grow

And we're changing our ways, taking different roads

Love, love will tear us apart again

Love, love will tear us apart again

Why is the bedroom so cold turned away on your side?

Is my timing that flawed, our respect run so dry?

Yet there's still this appeal that we've kept through our lives

Love, love will tear us apart again

Love, love will tear us apart again

Do you cry out in your sleep, all my failings exposed?

Get a taste in my mouth as desperation takes hold

Is it something so good just can't function no more?

But love, love will tear us apart again

Love, love will tear us apart again

Love, love will tear us apart again

Love, love will tear us apart again

I'm back in Liverpool,

And everything seems the same,

But I worked something out last night,

That changed this little boys brain,

A small piece of advice,

That took twenty-two years in the make,

And I will break it for you now,

Please learn from my mistakes,

Please learn from my mistakes.

Let's dance to joy division,

And celebrate the irony,

Everything is going wrong,

But we're so happy,

Let's dance to joy division,

And raise our glass to the ceiling,

'Cause this could all go so wrong,

But we're so happy,

Yeah we're so happy.

So if you're ever feeling down,

Grab your purse and take a taxi,

To the darker side of town,

That's where we'll be,

And we will wait for you and lead you through the dance floor,

Up to the DJ booth,

You know what to ask for,

You know what to ask for.

Go ask for Joy Division,

And celebrate the irony,

Everything is going wrong,

But we're so happy,

Let's dance to Joy Division,

And raise your glass to the ceiling,

'Cause this could all go so wrong,

But we're so happy,

So happy.

So let the love tear us apart,

I've found the cure for a broken heart,

Let it tear us apart,

Let the love tear us apart,

I've found the cure for a broken heart,

Let it tear us apart,

(Let it tear us apart)

So let the love tear us apart,

I've found the cure for a broken heart,

Let it tear us apart,

(Let it tear us apart)

So let the love tear us apart,

I've found the cure for a broken heart,

Let it tear us apart,

Let it tear us apart,

Let it tear us apart.

Let's dance to joy division,

And celebrate the irony,

Everything is going wrong,

But were so happy,

Let's dance to joy division,

And raise our glass to the ceiling,

'Cause this could all go so wrong,

But we're so happy,

Yeah we're so happy,

So happy,

Yeah we're so happy,

So happy,Yeah we're so happy. 

For people who don’t understand the meaning behind the song, the singer has stated in multiple interviews he was in a bar in Liverpool when “love will tear us apart” by joy division came on. The singer of the wombats (murph) finds it ironic that people got up and started dancing happily to a song which talks about very dark subjects hence the irony...
