 New Order - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Also, as seen at the end of the emotive "Your Silent Face", Sumner seems to have adopted an ironic, satirical sense of humour, finishing the song with the line "why don't you piss off", interpreted to mean Sumner's giving closure to the critics who have unjustly compared his lyricism to that of Curtis.
Sumner also collaborated with the Chemical Brothers on a track from their album Surrender, "Out Of Control"; Hook formed the band Monaco with former Revenge member David Potts; and Morris and Gilbert formed the aptly named The Other Two.
According to Sumner, "Get Ready was guitar-heavy simply because we felt that we'd left that instrument alone for a long time." Longtime fan Billy Corgan of The Smashing Pumpkins performed guitar and vocals on the track "Turn My Way", he also toured with the band deputising for Gillian in 2001.

A visibly animated Bernard Sumner holds his drink — a pick-me-up “power smoothie” that resembles antifreeze in color and consistency — up to the light and grimaces.
As Sumner describes it, the album is the result of a long creative spurt that yielded nearly 20 complete songs (a number of which have been set aside for a future release) and might easily have been recorded and mixed in its entirety by New Order alone, had the band not planned ahead.
Sumner points to the genesis of the dancehall-influenced “I Told You So,” which came about when he was on holiday in the Caribbean and managed to record a gaggle of island-style beats off his shortwave radio.

Bernards voice is lower, the inflection of words are diffrent, and some verses are diffrent from the original.
The other reason is that Bernard is giving titles to song who are secretly revealing some meaning behind the lyrics, or the global topic of the song, or even the goal he was reaching with his lyrics (think of "World", that may be an explanation).
Bernard's lyrics have always been difficult to explain and his titles are in the same trend really.
