Biography

Born 8th of March 1958 in Hammersmith, London, England. Started his musical career in 1977 as a punk rocker in the band [a=Mean Street], before being sacked in May 1977. He responded to an advert in Melody Maker to join the band The Lasers, alongside [a=Paul Gardiner]. Both soon left to form their own punk band, [a=Tubeway Army], with his uncle [a=Jess Lidyard] filling in on drums. In 1978 [a=Tubeway Army] was signed to [l=Beggars Banquet] and released a couple of punk singles. By then he was using the name Numan and the band was performing live in pubs and clubs around London, supporting [a263209]. Whilst recording demos for Beggars, Gary stumbled upon a "Minimoog," that had been left behind in the studio, still programmed to a sound that caught his attention.

LYRICS

Down in the park Where the Machmen meet The machines are playing `kill-by-numbers' Down in the park with a friend called `Five' I was in a car crash Or was it the war? Well, I've never been quite the same Little white lies like "I was there" Come to "Zom-Zom's", a place to eat Like it was built in one day You can watch the humans Try to run Oh, look, there's a rape machine I'd go outside if it looks the other way You wouldn't believe The things they do Down in the park Where the chant is "Death, death, death" Until the sun cries morning Down in the park with friends of mine "We are not lovers We are not romantics We are here to serve you" A different face but the words never change
