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

We're in the building Where they make us grow And I'm frightened by The liquid engineers Like you. My Mallory heart Is sure to fail I could crawl around the floor Just like I'm real Like you. The sound of metal I want to be You I could learn to be a man Like you. Plug me in And turn me on Oh everything is moving. I need my treatment It's tomorrow they send me Singing 'I am an American'. Do you? Picture this If I could make the change I'd love to pull the wires from the wall Did you? And who are you And how can I try Here inside I like metal Aren't you All I know Is no-one dies I'm still confusing love with need.
