We Have a Technical - Gary Numan, Tubeway Army

We have a random on the west side

Personality malfunction

He says I can’t give you anything at all

Just a room with a bad view of you

He sent a letter to a downstat

Saying sorry that I missed you

But I can’t think of anything to do He’s addicted to the time track

Oo-oo-oo, we have a technical (x2)

He’s in the hotel where they all go Saying me, I’ve lost my memory

It’s so surprising just how quickly things can end

Like a hero on a platform of friends

This table is so crowded

With people that I don’t know

And I never really turn my thoughts on you

So the image breaks down again

Oo-oo-oo, we have a technical (x2)

I suppose it’s very shady

At least until the lights go out

Advertising posters on the wall

And the young ones singing softly

Do they ever come back (do they ever come back)

Or is it always at the wrong time (is it always at the wrong time)

I could crawl around the floor just like I’m real

And move a hand in front of my eyes

Oo-oo-oo, we have a technical (x6)
