Biography

Fad Gadget ([a27963], born 8 September 1956, London) was the first artist signed to [url=https://www.discogs.com/label/26391-Mute]Mute Records[/url]. His groundbreaking 'Back To Nature' was released as Mute's second single, in October 1979. His live shows were known for being far more physical than those of many other electronic acts of the time, often featuring Tovey injuring himself. Following the album [i]Gag[/i] in 1984, he dropped the stage name and in favour of his real name. The release of [i]The Best of Fad Gadget[/i] in 2001 and his supporting [a=Depeche Mode] on their [i]Exciter Tour[/i] looked set to help his relaunch as Fad Gadget, but he died, aged 45, of a heart attack on 3 April 2002, at his home in London.

LYRICS

Fool's the name
Sitting target for the ghouls to cane
Mention me then spit on the ground
A shameless game
Fortune's found its place for me in a pit of pain
I've been kicked out every household
Now they

Blame me (Don't blame me)
Silently (So silent)
Scapegoat, shame on you

Love me dear
And be prepared to live a life of morbid fear
A soulless life of solitude
In exile here
Better still to keep your own Utopia
You can have that dream come true
So...

Blame me (Don't blame me)
Silently (So silent)
Scapegoat, shame on you
