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

When they called me broken, I knew
When they called me evil, I knew
When they called me ruin, I knew
I would always find my way to you
When I beg forgiveness, they knew
When I beg for mercy, they knew
When I beg for nothing, they knew
I would always find my way to you

My name is ruin, my name is vengeance
My name is no one, no one is calling
My name is ruin, my name is heartbreak
My name is loving, but sorrows and darkness
My name is ruin, my name is evil
My name's a war song, I sing you a new one
My name is ruin, my name is broken
My name is shameless, I'll tear you wide open

When I called you poison, you knew
When I called you shameful, you knew
When I called you a liar, you knew
I would always find my way to you

I'll show you ruin, I'll show you vengeance
I'll show you no one, and no one is calling
I'll show you ruin, I'll show you heartbreak
I'll show you loving, and sorrow and darkness
I'll show you ruin, I'll show you evil
I'll sing you a war song, I'll sing you a new one
I'll show you ruin, I'll show you broken
I'll show you shameless, I'll tear you wide open
