Gary Numan - A Subway Called 'You'

Track 3 of Dance

Here we are
We drift like gas
On someone else's bed
I pay high you know

Here we are
How old are you?
It's just a job to me

Here the ladies always ring twice
Thought you'd slip away tonight with me
In a subway I called 'you'

Hello you
No more this talk of
'My boys will be yours'
No more 'I'
This conversation drains
My patience dry

Here the business always rings twice
No relaxing for the boys tonight
In a subway I called 'You'

Here the tension always shows twice
Shed one tear
It's just routine - for now

@tightfisttung Yes It does sound quite Japan doesn't it. I guess Mick Karn was the back bone of Japan.

Mick Karn is the official bassist on Dance.The track Stormtrooper in Drag was done previously around Telekon time but was added years later to the CD but not the original vinyl of Dance.

@markkeogh18 Roland Compurhythm CR78 I believe, used by quite a few bands around that time and quite extensively by Numan, Japan, Foxx et al.

one of my all time favourite basslines. RIP Mick Karn.

@timothyeilers sorry. my bad.... thought this was the last album Paul was on, seeing as Stormtrooper in Drag was a one off project during the same period. Regardless, some fantastically stylish creative bass playing.

@leonakita Paul is missed, but I'm pretty sure that is Mick Karn on the bass. Mick is also sorely missed after having passed away from cancer.
