| Gary Numan – Blind Lyrics | 18 years ago |
| Great track! Even after all this time Numan can still terrify me. This one is so dark and bleak, yet uplifting. Numan states that the songs from Jagged come from personal experiences, none of which he goes into in detail. But I imagine he's been into some seriously dark shit through the years. This is a song about extreme S&M I reckon. | |
| Gary Numan – Bombers Lyrics | 18 years ago |
| I hated all the Numan/Bowie comparison back in the day, a load of Music Press crap. But this song is a twist on Bowie's "Five Years" off the Ziggy LP. | |
| Gary Numan – Zero Bars (Mr. Smith) Lyrics | 18 years ago |
|
The first verse reads to me like he's playing the part of Smith, an assassin, or a silencing machine. This fits with the vision of the follow-up Replicas, and he was obviously using some of that imagary here. Also, the name "Mr Smith" combined with the subject matter reminds me very much of the Matrix movies, made over 20 years later. Truly ahead of his time, our Mr Webb. |
