@themachman19691 Let me try to explain it to even your tinier brain, its not 'pauls single' if its co-writtten...DUH!.....its a legit question...other co- written tunes appear on his albums , why not this one?...THAT THE MOFO QUESTION! CAPICHE?
@themachman19691 no shit , sherlock!.... you are only reinforcing my point!.... i.e. where do those bernie taupin/elton john songs appear?.. on an ELTON JOHN ALBUM!...not on a BERNIE TAUPIN ALBUM>>>soooo... gardiner/numan song should appear on a GARY NUMAN ALBUM!....DUH!... right? ... END-OF-STORY!
yeah ! i bought the 7" single in london round the corner back in 1981 !!... amazing ! I just feel the friendship between gary and paul in this track...
3 mins to 3:45 is trippy as hell-bass playing is sublime.Paul Gardiner cool as fcuk.So sad he died,he had so much talent and was a good looking guy aswell,why is that some people who have such a lot are often troubled and quiet and yet there are loads of talentless ppl who get pushed into the public eye and have a lot to say for themselves and believe their own hype who have very little talent.May be its true empty vessels do make more noise.R.I.P paul you were awesome.
I went to school with Paul, he was a really nice guy and pretty quiet at school. we were all quite shocked when we heard of his death at the time. A great song writer and musician of the times. Given the school we went to I can tell you that it's a minor miracle.
@maglutaknight I have this on 7inch single,it was released as Paul Gardiner yet Gary Numan sang the lyrics,is a blue cover with a ladies leg in a stiletto heel
On my Exhibition CD (Canadian version).
Brill!
