Preach it, Mr. Numan....
Nov. 28th, 2003 05:43 pmI don't like young girls
I don't like boys
I like some bitch to scare me
I like that noise
I don't like secrets
I don't like God
I don't like people
When they say I'm things I'm not
I don't need opinions and rumours
I don't need a voix in the dark
I don't need to listen to strangers
I don't need to tear out my heart
--Gary Numan, "Voix."
I just got the remastered reissue of Metal Rhythm today, and man is it fresh. I now only need to get two more Gary Numan albums in the mail and I will have them all.
There are very few songwriters whose lyrics I can, in any way, relate to or feel personally. Gary Numan is the number one name on that list. John Prine is number two. I think King Diamond is probably on there somewhere, too, but I won't know that until I finally get his greatest hits.
