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

She'll take a slowcar to ChinaShe'll pay the rent for the use of youShe'll take a slowcar to ChinaShe'll pay the rent for the use of you tonight.We are not afraid to love, but no new ideasYou almost get used to such things you know.The mechanics on the phone again, we break down.The others you'd remember if I could spare some time.In love with this elegant bitchAnd here am I just a shy young foolIn love with this elegant bitchShe only sparkles at times for you tonight.She forgets that we know,She forgets who we areI suppose the things I overheard were quite by chanceThe only story I ever knew or cared forBest left unheard I suppose, don't you?You look for somewhere to start to lookWe'll take a slowcar to ChinaEverything that you need is hereWe'll take a slowcar to ChinaEverything that you need is here tonight.I forgot not to call,and now we're out of love.She'll take a slowcar to ChinaA little green worm inside my headShe'll take a slowcar to ChinaA little green worm inside my head tonight.There's nothing much to keep us alive, but 'Dance'.All that she can say is goodbye. All things change I supposeWe'll sing without voice, without heart and leave no addressI well never ever see you again. I know.Don't take a slowcar to ChinaShe needed nothing and no one soDon't take a slowcar to ChinaShe needed nothing and no one here tonight.You will pay like before.Always one step behind.You will pay Mr Jones.Always one step away.There's no one here to leave you behind but me.
