Best Tubeway Army song from his early era! Bomberman is slang for a speed freak! Dont know if this has any meaning in the song? All the amphetamines given to the bomber pilots of WW2. Any one clarify???
@DrinkCottonGin, you're absolutely right. I refer to these as Numan's "dark years", like back when Apple was putting out crappy Performas. Ugh. Hell, he admits to such whenever asked. But he's back to being pretty damn awesome, and I'm looking forward to seeing him 4/20/10 in San Francisco.
Numan wrote this in 1977 as a story it was played on guitar and as such this is why he performed it that way. Bombers was on an EP with others such as blue eyes and OD receiver
may you burn in hell for speaking ill of gary!!!! I will admit its not the good ole days anymore but comeon man. this guy did the music world a huge favor and still holds his own.

I can't agree with you more. Numan used to be such a great musician, but now he's wasted himself trying to sound like Trent Reznor and be all gothic, becuase if you say something bacd about God these days, the kids buy it.
hey now....ok i agree that he rips on god and religion too much because it sells, but he can still put together some beautiful shit like "absolution" or "the seed of a lie," "magic," which are all from Sacrifice. I don't really like Pure or Jagged much.
it's not a toupe, it's hair plugs. he got them before microsurgery techniques were developed so his scalp is all scarred up and it looks like barbie hair. he should shave his head and show off his scars.
Aqui podemos escuchar a Gary en su vertiente mas New Wave. Sin embargo intenta transmitirnos su mensaje bajo estos melódicos acordes. Este sónido es el propio de una època determinada, díficil de volver a reproducir hoy en día.
i like gary numan . . . but this is definitely during a lame period. when is this? like '91! Look at those dance moves... jeez. What are those back up dancers? It's like he forgot how to rock . . . :(

Assholes.....with no insight into music writing.

He was good back inthe 'old days.' Now he is a poor shadow of his former self. The toupe does not help his looks, but he has been bald for years.
Gothic? It's painful to watch him 'live' now.
