Genesis P-Orridge és Ian Curtis

A Genesis P-Orridge vezérletével alkotó Psychic T.V. a tervek szerint Ian Curtis közreműködésével alkotott volna. Curtis öngyilkossága ezt természetesen lehetetlenné tette. P-Orridge későbbi kijelentése szerint Curtist a mai napig zenekara tagjának tekinti. A Joy Division néhai frontemere emlékére I.C. Water címmel írt dalt a PTV, mely az együttes Towards Thee Infinite Beat című albumán, valamint annak kiadását megelőzően kislemezen is megjelent.

Genesis P-Orridge a közte és Curtis között kialakult rövid, de rendkívül intenzív barátáságról és az I.C. Water megszületéséről a szerző honlapján olvashatunk.

I.C. WATER

And I see much more clearly everyday
And I sense I can see you play
And there’s always some truth
And there’s always something I should say
There’s always something there to give me water everyday
WATER
Water I hear you say
WATER
Water I plead that you might stay
And every day, in every way
I can see you die
And I could never go away
And I could never tell you a lie
And I can see you scream and I can see you cry
For all the stories and all the hate that always comes to you
Like WATER
Water I hear you say
And I know and I feel
What you say is far too real
And every thing
And everywhere
And everything you say you care for
WATER
I need some water
WATER
I need some water
I am the devil’s daughter
I am a Lamb to the slaughter
WATER
Water everyday (water pouring down)
I.C. WATER
Water I hear you say (water on the ground)
You tell me things and they’re things I should have known
Where your tears are NOW they’re not quite your own
And at night you lie in dreams you haven’t flown
As we spin in circles that look so blown
Just water
Water in the ground
And your tears are tears and fears more like me
And the S.M.I.L.E. that I S.M.I.L.E. is not what I see
WATER
Water everywhere
Water, water I know you care
And the tears stream down from the sky
Each tastes bitter
The salt of asking why?
And your words come down and fall over me
Each one is a friend
Each one is the rain
And each is the sea
Our worlds are so close they’re inside my heart
Falling, falling, falling
Ripping me apart
Like water
Water everyday,
Water, water I hear you say
Water, water everyday
Water, water I hear you say
WATER
Water on the ground
WATER
What a strange sound
Water
What a strange sound,
Water
What a strange, strange sound
