Excerpts of lyrics from music that’s been playing in our office lately. We listen to all sorts of stuff around here, so expect something of a mixed bag in this column.

Gary Numan & The Tubeway Army – “Friends”

Gary Numan & Tubeway Army

See my one love talking to the pretty boy
I never did like her taste
My skin is rubber on a skeletal body
I’m physically going to waste
Feel my eyes and the tongue of a killer
I’m a humanoid logic machine
Don’t touch me with your painted little fingers
‘Cos I know where they’ve been
You’re not gonna put those scabs on me

Here’s a live version video of the track. All black, edgy and very moody – decades before emo-wannabes decided they invented the look. Trench coats, black eyeliner, leather skirt wearing guitarist and tortured delivery by Gary. This was post-punk goth rock at its’ finest.

Remember to add The BlaBla Blog as a “Friend” over on last.fm if you are a last.fm user – we’d love to see what you listen to. If you aren’t on last.fm yet, why the heck not?!
