If I open my door In cars Here in my car I know I've started to think About leaving tonight Although nothing seems right In cars *** Released : August 1979 *** According to Gary Numan, the song's lyrics were inspired by an incident of road rage: "I was in traffic in London once and had a problem with some people in front. They tried to beat me up and get me out of the car. I locked the doors and eventually drove up on the pavement and got away from them. It's kind of to do with that. It explains how you can feel safe inside a car in the modern world... When you're in it, your whole mentality is different... It's like your own little personal empire with four wheels on it". ?????????? ? ??????????? Gary Numan (born Gary Anthony James Webb on 8 March 1958) is an English singer, composer, and musician.

There was never an official video for this awesome number 1 from 1979 so I decided to put some images to it with the help of movie maker. It's not brilliant but it's my first attempt and if it puts Numan in the limelight again via this place then I'm all up for sharing it with you. I never thought that a simple, sparse video like this created by someone that hasn't really got a clue about making videos (me) would get such a good reaction and over half a million views. Please check out my other videos. I am still learning how to do it properly and my intention is to re-do this at some point in the future. Thanks for watching.. + Informações

Track 2 of 13 of Replicas Remaster It's cold outside And the paint's peeling off of my walls There's a man outside In a long coat, grey hat, smoking a cigarette Now the light fades out And I'm wondering what I'm doing in a room like this There's a knock on the door And just for a second I thought I remembered you So now I'm alone Now I can think for myself About little deals And SUs And things that I just don't understand Like a white lie that night Or a slight touch at times I don't think it meant anything to you So I open the door It's the `friend' that I'd left in the hallway "Please sit down" A candle lit a shadow on a wall near the bed You know I hate to ask But, are `friends' electric? Mine's broke down And now I've no one to love So I find out your reason For the phone calls and smiles And it hurts And I'm lonely And I should never have tried And I missed you tonight So it's time to leave You see this means everything to me. + Informações

Yet another Top 10 hit with this single from 1980. It was promoted big time in the USA on various formats and added to the US release of the album Telekon although it wasn't originally added to the UK version.

Unofficial video of Gary Numan's ME Supposedly it's about the last intelligent machine on earth, left alone, after every human has died. Nevertheless, alienation and isolation is universal theme. The song and subject are extremely futuristic and, despite singing atonally, he's able to express a lot of emotion. Footage is of New York's Flushing Meadows Park. Basement Jaxx sampled this for "Where's your head at?" 22 years after it was produced. ______________________________________ "And me I eat dust We're all so run down I'd call it my death But I'll only fade away And I hate to fade alone Now there's only me We were so sure We were so wrong And now it's over But there's no one left to see And there's no one left to die There's only me Why shoud I care Why should I try Oh no, oh no I turned off the pain Like I turned off you all Now there's only me". + Informações

The rarely seen 1979 promo video for the UK single. Metal would have made a better single choice but It is still a good song though.

A beautiful synth ballad from the album 'The Pleasure Principle'. It kept up the sequence of consecutive top 10 singles for Numan although a lot of fans (myself included) believe that it was the wrong track to release as a single. If Numan had released 'Metal' from the album instead then surely it would have been his 3rd number 1 single in a row? I have taken this straight from video and overdubbed the soundtrack to make it higher quality. Hope you like it.. + Informações

Numan's 3rd single under his own name and another Top 10 hit. This wasn't added to the UK release of Telekon although it was added for the US release. This was quite a decent video for it's time with the use of the lazers and it was also nearly banned too because of the images of Numan smashing the TV set. Great song, a bit repetitive and another track that a lot of fans think was the wrong one to release as a single. 'Remind me to smile' from the Telekon album would have been much better and could have given him his 4th number 1 single. I have taken this straight from video and overdubbed the soundtrack to make it higher quality. Hope you like it.. + Informações

I come back crazier, but feel much better. You come back crazier, you feel better. The more I disregard the signs, the I fly, The more I walk across the lines, the more I glide. You come back crazier, but feel much better. You come back crazier, you feel better. I come back crazier, but feel much better. You come back crazier, you'll feel better. ?????????? ? ???????????

Good quality video recorded from Top Of The Pops in 1981 although it was also shown in 1980. Gary Numan (born Gary Anthony James Webb on 8 March 1958) is an English singer, composer, and musician, most widely known for appearing on the chart-topping 1979 hits "Are 'Friends' Electric?" by Tubeway Army and his song "Cars". His signature sound consisted of heavy synthesizer hooks fed through guitar effects pedals. Commercially unsuccessful for many years of his career, Numan is nevertheless considered a pioneer of commercial electronic music. His use of themes from science fiction, and his combination of aggressive punk energy with electronics, have since been widely imitated. Born in Hammersmith, Gary Anthony James Webb was the son of a British Airways bus driver based at Heathrow Airport. Webb was educated at Town Farm Junior School Stanwell, Ashford County Grammar School, Middlesex, Slough Grammar School and Brooklands Technical College. He had an early ambition to be an airline pilot, but did not gain any academic qualifications; however, he did go on to join the Air Training Corps as a teenager. He then briefly did various jobs including fork lift truck driver, air conditioning ventilator fitter and clerk in an accounts department. A guitar was purchased for him at an early age and he began writing songs when he was about 15 years old. He played in various bands, including Mean Street and The Lasers, before forming Tubeway Army with his uncle, Jess Lidyard, and Paul .... + Informações
