Tubeway Army

Tubeway Army were a London-based punk rock and New Wave band led by lead singer Gary Numan. They were the first band of the post-punk era to have a synthesizer-based hit, with their single "Are 'Friends' Electric?" and its parent album Replicas both topping the UK Album Chart in mid-1979. "Are 'Friends' Electric?" was also the only song released by Tubeway Army to be a hit single, making the band technically a one-hit wonder; however, the success of Gary Numan often overshadows the band, leaving them off most one-hit lists. more »

 Become A Better Singer In Only 30 Days, With Easy Video Lessons! 

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 honor?
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
