Track 7 of the debut album from Tubeway Army.
It's so quiet and dark
And I shouldn't be here
This machine won't last
For always
Just my steel friend and me
I stand brave by his side
This machine is all
I live for
I can see in your eyes
You're not so sure about me
This machine is my voice
Please listen
It's so noisy and bright
And I just love being here
This machine will last
For my life
my fave gary numan albums are the first 4 up to TELEKON...the amazing thing is that reading from his interviews, gary mentioned he was totally naive and inexperienced in the studio for these first few albums that he broke many rules and convention for regular song composition etc... and he created these simple classic!! ..goes to show......

I play this album about 10 times a week and never ever get bored of it. Sounds as fresh now as the day I first played the vinyl in `79."Please listen"

So different than anything I was used to. The only thing about the song I truly could hook into was the rhythm, bass as well as drums. So mechanical,so European,so lifeless. Void of all hope and joy. I love it today as when I first heard it 30 years ago. Only an American like myself could truly appreciate something like this. Believe it or not, I heard Eddie Van Halen liked the song too. Opposites attract.
