Gary Numan/Tubeway Army - The Life Machine (Original Version)
Loading...
Uploaded by GaryNumanAlbums on Jun 16, 2009
Track 15 of The Plan Remaster
Me I've just died
But some machine keeps on humming
I'm just an extra piece of dead meat to keep running
Why won't you let me die in peace?
Why won't you let me die with some kind of honour?
Why won't you let me die at all?
I know
You've got your principles
My body lies immobile
I left it days ago
And me I watch from somewhere as the loved ones come and go
I see them glancing at the switch
I hear them whispering "maybe it's better that way"
I see the love turn into feelings
I know
Aren't quite the same
I see the men of learning
Pacing to and fro
But how can I expect the sane to ever know?
I'd rather die than have no mind
I know my brain is gone "damaged beyond repair"
I see an empty shell below me
I know
I've had my time

@bethster33 It's clearly about a guy on a life support system asking to die...nothing to do with zombies I assure you! Although, that's kinda funny...

XD what do I know? I'm from the U.s. o-o born in a culture that takes and absorbs from other cultures without any knowledge of what there absorbing, I dont know if what I've said is correct, and I'm probably being steryotypical (did I spell that right?) when I say stuff like this, the point may be, Garry numan is epic! my favorite band next to Kraftwerk and Devo.

the lyrics remind me of zombies, "Me I've just died" "I'm just an extra piece of dead meat to keep running
Why won't you let me die in peace?
Why won't you let me die with some kind of honour?
Why won't you let me die at at all?" I'm just saying, I'm sure someone elts who lisons could reply to this with somthing that would blow my theory out of the water :p still an epic song.
