Q&A
Are Friends Electric? (Gary Numan cover) Lyrics
It's cold outside
And the paint's peeling off of my walls
There's a man outside
In a long coat, grey hat, smoking a cigarette
Now the light fades out
And I wonder what I'm doing in a room like this
There's a knock on the door
And just for a second I thought I remembered you
So now I'm alone
Now I can think for myself
About little deals and issues
And things that I just don't understand
A white lie that night
Or a sly touch at times
I don't think it mean anything to you
So I open the door
It's the friend that I'd left in the hallway
'Please sit down'
A candlelit shadow on a wall near the bed
You know I hate to ask
But are 'friends' electric?
Only mine's broke down
And now I've no-one to love
So I found out your reasons
For the phone calls and smiles
And it hurts and I'm lonely
And I should never have tried
And I missed you tonight
So it's time to leave
You see it meant everything to me
And the paint's peeling off of my walls
There's a man outside
In a long coat, grey hat, smoking a cigarette
And I wonder what I'm doing in a room like this
There's a knock on the door
And just for a second I thought I remembered you
Now I can think for myself
About little deals and issues
And things that I just don't understand
A white lie that night
Or a sly touch at times
I don't think it mean anything to you
It's the friend that I'd left in the hallway
'Please sit down'
A candlelit shadow on a wall near the bed
But are 'friends' electric?
Only mine's broke down
And now I've no-one to love
For the phone calls and smiles
And it hurts and I'm lonely
And I should never have tried
And I missed you tonight
So it's time to leave
You see it meant everything to me

no comments? what? amazing song. too bad no one has really heard it.
i heard it
don't like it
I prefer their covers of pentagram and dylan and van morrison and west coast...
This seems half-arsed
