Playlist Gary Numan

gary numan - wonder eye

And sometimes,
When I'm lonely,
I think of you
And I wonder

And sometimes,
When someone
Calls your name,
I wonder

You changed my life
And you could have changed my world
And I
Miss your voice and
I miss your heartbeat
I miss your face and
I miss you

And sometimes
When I'm sleeping,
I dream of you
And I wonder

And sometimes
When I forget,
I call for you
And I wonder

You said 'goodbye'
Said 'It's over'
You said 'I'm tired
I can't wait
All my life
I won't cry
Anymore'

And sometimes when
I wonder
I cry for you
And I miss you

And sometimes I
Remember
How to feel again

gary numan - 1999

Don't worry, I won't hurt U
I only want U 2 have some fun

I was dreamin' when I wrote this
Forgive me if it goes astray
But when I woke up this mornin'
Coulda sworn it was judgment day
The sky was all purple,
there were people runnin' everywhere
Tryin' 2 run from the destruction,
U know I didn't even care

'Cuz they say two thousand zero zero party over,
oops out of time
So tonight I'm gonna party like it's 1999

I was dreamin' when I wrote this
So sue me if I go 2 fast
But life is just a party, and parties weren't meant 2 last
War is all around us, my mind says prepare 2 fight
So if I gotta die I'm gonna listen 2 my body tonight

Yeah, they say two thousand zero zero party over,
oops out of time
So tonight I'm gonna party like it's 1999
Yeah

Lemme tell ya somethin'
If U didn't come 2 party,
don't bother knockin' on my door
I got a lion in my pocket,
and baby he's ready 2 roar
Yeah, everybody's got a bomb,
we could all die any day
But before I'll let that happen,
I'll dance my life away

Oh, they say two thousand zero zero party over,
oops out of time

gary numan - a child with the ghost

Nothing I can say
Can make your picture talk
I feel so tired and
Nothing I can do
Will make your picture move
I feel so helpless but
I can feel
A child with the ghost here
You let your heart slip away

If I had one wish
I'd wish to talk with you
I have some questions
Things only you could know
If I had one wish
I'd wish to talk with you
Nothing you can feel
Can feel as cold as this
I'll sing this song and
I'll say goodbye forever

I wonder
If God is all they say
I can't believe in such things.
I suppose
Some games are hard to lose
But you don't have to play 'cos
I can feel
A child with the ghost here
You let your heart slip away

gary numan - a dream of siam

You and me are old
You and me are young
You and me have always
Let words go unsung

Nothing left to see
Nothing left to do
Nothing left to talk about

How I intrude
This impossible room
I still believe
That great American smile

Nothing's ever right
Nothing's ever wrong
But nothing's ever quite like
The stories and songs (nothing's ever)

Heroes always bleed
But heroes never cry
Heroes always get the best girl
and then die (nothing's ever)

How I intrude
This impossible dream
I still believe
That great American smile

gary numan - a game called echo

Here we play games
Like turning men into boys
And everyone must cry or love

Recall 'My circuit'
Recall 'I'm not-you are'
Remember that I moved too soon

Corridor empty
Time to call in the stage
A game called echo

Now I ask questions
I get so nervous of
A game called echo

We rename vehicles
You rename heroes
I switch to auto

You are reception
I can take it or leave
Do I need permission to stop?

gary numan - a prayer for the unborn

So, I prayed
But you weren't listening.
Making miracles?

So, I begged
But you were far away.
Saving souls perhaps?

So, I screamed
But she was very small
And you have worlds to mend

So, she died
And you were glorious
But you were somewhere else

If you are my shepherd
Then I'm lost and no-one can find me
If you are my saviour
Then I'm dead and no-one can help me
If you are my glory
Then I'm sick and no-one can cure me
If you light my darkness
Then I'm blind and no-one can see me

If you are my father
Then love lies abandoned and bleeding
If you are my comfort
Then nightmares are real and deceiving
If you are my answer
Then I must have asked the wrong question
I'd spit on your heaven
If I could find one to believe in

gary numan - a question of faith

I'll crawl for you
Hurt if you want to
I'll be the thing that you feed.

I'm not asking
For love or redemption
I'll sell my guilt to your need.

I'll breathe for you
Die if you want to
I'll mourn with you by my grave.

I dare you to judge me
Now God has disowned me
I've come to you to be saved.

They say I sold my soul.
We all reap what we sow.

I'll shine for you
Burn if you want to
You'll be the prize for my pain.

I'll kill your god
And pray for salvation
I'll be the in to your sane.

I'll lie for you
be your conscience in you
Sacrifice reason for shame.

I won't ask for
Faith or forgiveness
I'll be the blood in your veins.

They say I lost my way
I'll wait for judgement day.

Don't pray for my soul.
Don't pray for my soul.
Don't pray for my soul.
Don't pray for my soul.

I'll be your darkness
In the light
I'll be your vampire calling
In the dead of night

I'll be your demon
Shadow man
I'll be your one confession
And if I can

I'll be your nightmare
And scream for you
I'll be your one possesion
If you want me to

I'll be your secret
Memory,
I'll be your exhibition
Of atrocity.

They say I sold my soul.
We all reap what we sow.

They say I lost my way.
I'll wait for judgement day.

Don't pray for my soul.
Don't pray for my soul.
Don't pray for my soul.
Don't pray for my soul.

They kneel down, praise God
Shout allelujah,
Lift up their eyes when they pray.

When children kill children
Don't it make them wonder?
Don't it make them question their faith?

gary numan - a subway called amp quot you amp quot

gary numan - absolution

I would swim across oceans
Just to talk with you
I would climb a tall mountain
Just to look at you
I'd give my soul to the devil
If you asked me to
I would walk out of heaven
Just to be with you

This is absolute
This is absolution

I will be your disciple
And I'll worship you
Burn the prophets of reason
Light the sky for you
Kill the children of Eden
If you want me to
Close the dead eyes of God
If they offended you

This is absolute
This is absolution

gary numan - all across the nation

Somewhere in the city
There's a struggle going on
Someone's making money
Someone's doing wrong
Everybody searching for a little piece of gold
(Power play?)(fix a face?) never grow old
It's a shame
Who's gonna take control?
It's a game they play
Who's gonna save your soul?
And they're never gonna stop
Till they reach the top
All across the nation
Fever takes control
Money is temptation
Money saves your soul
One thing I can tell you
Of this there is no doubt
The rich man needs his comfort
And the poor man does without
Everybody loves somebody
All around the world
But everybody knows
It's the rich man gets the girl
-chorus-
Look at all the little people
(Cowering?) from the rain
Standing at the bus stop
Dreaming 'bout Spain
Here comes the rich man
Driving his car
When he was poor he was sure
He was gonna go far

gary numan - america

I'm in a car
And I'm over you
I'm a passenger
And I'm over you

I'm looking for
America
I'm looking for
You

I'm in a glasshouse
And I'm over you
I'm thin, far too thin
And I'm over you
I'm in a corner
And I'm over you
I'm old, far too old
And I'm over you

gary numan - an alien cure

So I wandered like Jesus
Like an alien cure
Searching for my disciples
Dispossessed and alone.

So I looked deeper
Into evil
And I came closer
To your corruption.

I took a virgin like Mary
And said "I give you The One"
I confessed to desire
And watched the world come undone.

So I looked deeper
Into evil
And I came closer
To your obsession.

So I looked deeper
Into evil
And I came closer
To Heaven.
Your Heaven.

So I moved like a rumour
Like a glorious lie
And I walked into Heaven

gary numan - ancients

some can shine
some can fly
some are glorious
some are ancient

some are wise
some are strong
some are everything
you could dream of

some are clouds
some are rain
float like angels wings
on an ocean

some can sing
songs of gods
words so beautiful
they fall like raindrops

but none are like me
all i know is you're not with me
like me

some will cry
cry for you
take your pain away
while you're sleeping

some will die
in your name
give their soul to you
for safe keeping

but none are like me
all i know is you're not with me

gary numan - are you real

No one's alive
You could almost be me
What do you mean
"Oh, nothing, nothing at all"
Room 8 top floor
I've seen this man before
Are you real?

Is it me, is it you

Cold metal voice
Of no one's friend it could be mine
My reflection
Is no longer me at all
Am I a fake
Of the man and are you of me
Are you real?

Is it me, is it you

Relax in a backroom
Oh me oh my oh wouldn't you
I know your face
Your connection is broken, boy
Nothing is new
Remember? I've got no time
Are you real?

Is it me, is it you

Real?
Real?
Real?
