I think I can finish the song off,the missing lyrics are Hear god weep Hear god weep Hear god weep god weep This would certainly fit in with the tone of the rest of "Pure",and not the first time Numan has put a whole song backwards to music,Remember "Dark Mountain" from "Machine and soul" era.

Next time one of you guys see Gary, ask him if we're close. Help Me Help Me Help Me Help Me Help Me I can taste your misery I'm fallen, run to me Unforgiven, scared to sleep Wait for dark and hear god weep Hear god weep Hear god weep God weep Dave Carlson e-mail: dcarlson@dpg.devry.edu ------------------------------ Date: Sun, 03 Dec 2000 20:22:55 +0000 From: vickers@netcomuk.co.uk Subject: First definite sale To: Gary Numan Not a great landmark in Gary's career, but I can now confirm that one of the people I have recommended PURE to has actually gone out and bought it - the first!!! It was the lapsed Numanoid serving behind the counter in the office equipment shop. I hope the first of many. It needs non-fans to tell one another that this record is brilliant. That is how it will spread. They also need to be able to find it in the shops! I have never seen more than one copy at a time, and usually none! Mind you, I console myself that all these thousands of CDs on the racks are the ones they HAVEN'T been able to sell!!!! Paddy Vickers ------------------------------ Date: Sun, 03 Dec 2000 20:36:29 +0000 From: vickers@netcomuk.co.uk Subject: Gary's lyrics To: Gary Numan Chris Campbell expressed the personal opinion that Gary's lyrics 'suck', which I take to be some sort of insult. In my opinion, Gary's lyric-writing is excellent, and always has been. I believe in God, and so it's not that I necessarily **agree** with everything that Gary or his 'characters' sing about. But he is able to convey many things with a few words. He is able to stir up emotion. Keep the songs coming, Gary...

"Gary... obviously BELIEVES there is something, or he would not have such strong feelings and dedicate so much energy. I'm not going to debate this with anyone - it's a subjective matter for each and every one of us." X IS OBVIOUSLY TRUE AND THERE'S NO NEED TO DISCUSS IT. Does this sort of reasoning really give christians any sense of satisfaction?:- If anyone says that God doesn't exist, they OBVIOUSLY believe in Him themselves. Otherwise, why all the fuss? What a cosy, happy, circular little world faith is. Now cover your ears a= nd repeat 50 times - "God must exist, God must exist, God must exist...." "You are not the plan and you're beginning to annoy". Well, who did you think that was written for?

I wish he'd varied that 'piano layered with voice' synth sound, it seems like it turns up on most of the songs on Pure. Sounds like a Korg M1? 2. There's a song called 'Rip', and a song called 'Torn' ? ? ? Re: quoting the entire digest - if the digest was send out without a 'reply to' address, would that solve the problem? Craig in Illinois ------------------------------ Date: Tue, 5 Dec 2000 21:07:10 -0000 From: "Info (Spire Software)" Subject: Sharpe and Numan To: "Gary Numan" Hi OK so the debate continues about whether Pure is as good as Telekon or Replicas? I don't have a view either way, Pure is cool so are most of Gary's other stuff. Let's not get too hung up on the 'meaning' of lyrics here. Since Gary started writing songs he has openly 'stolen' lyrics from a number of sources and melded them into a song. I feel his strength as an artist has been to deliver the total package of heart felt lyrics wrapped up in often spooky but sometimes quite beautiful synthesizer music presented in 'awkward android' packaging. Gary is so likeable to me because it is obvious to me that the guy feels and hurts just like the rest of us and achieves some sort of catharsis by creating music to vocalise his very human frailties. Ahh... the appeal of armchair Freud.... I have a couple of questions that I'm sure some Numanoid can shine a light on?: 1) The lyrics to Metal, what the hell is Mallory? as in 'My Mallory heart is sure to fail.' Any ideas? 2) Does anyone know where I can get hold of a CD version of the Sharpe and Numan 80's atrocity 'Automatic'? I love the song Breathe in emotion. Looking forward to the UK gigs in the New Year.
