Are 'Friends' Electric?" 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 meant 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 It must be time to leave You see it meant everything to me

I like this statement even if I'm not 100% sure on it. Though I can only think of other Numan songs to replace it with ("M.E" is pretty ridiculous, as well as "down in the park" and others.) I like "replicas" nearly as much (and more in some aspects) than "pleasure principle", but that crashing electric drum that he honed on the latter is SO GOOD (not revolutionary, I think though it may lack a bit of the force or impact of the Crashing "TSH" heard all over that album really, the similar electric drum sound found in Kraftwerks "radioactivity" is equally impressive and obviously some years older. I digress. He crushed it that year, and the only album that even comes to mind that year as being as good would be "154" by Wire.

It was hearing this song on Top of the Pops in Wales that actually lead me to study cultural anthropology and 40 years later remains inspiring.

I never tire of hearing this man ... A bloody genius and his back catalogue still sounds like the future ... All those that have followed him from the beginning will know what I mean as his music evokes so many memories.

Yes, great explanation! Know exactly what you mean. Still evokes that same futuristic, excited feeling I had when I was 14 and this song came out. All his music does in fact🙌

Very impressive. He did the original justice and added depth to the song as well. Wow. Was not expecting to like this but I love it.

There is before Gary and after Gary... For those of us who get it, we can listen over and over to this music throughout our lives, it never ever gets old, it is ALWAYS fresh, new and exciting. It provides the soundtrack to our lives and speaks to us with different voices at different times depending on what we need. The sound activates us, makes us sad, makes us vibrate and gives us pleasure. You cannot explain it to someone who has not been exposed (infected?). Unless you have spent hours on a Saturday night alone in front of a mirror in your parents basement with the lights off and a flashlight for a microphone screaming "Death Death Death Until The Sun Cries Morning", there is no need to go any further...

I bought the Tubeway Army album soon after it came out. Soon after (well before the Dexy's of Come On Eileen” fame) I bought Dexy’s Midnight Runners’ album “Searching For the Young Soul Rebels”. These were profoundly different records in all ways except the very important one of being uniformly, transcendentally excellent, and completely lacking in what was then called “filler”. Timeless recordings. Gary Numan and Kevin Rowlands of Dexys were and are perfectionists who to this day produce unsurpassed versions of their best material. This is an absolutely magnificent version of “Are Friends Electric”. My musical Anglophilia continues unabated thanks to these artists in particular.

He just gets better and better. I only knew the song cars but just recently I started to listen to his recent stuff and man I'm a fan now. I love how he made this song more gritty and dark.

The guy has run his career backwards! he is more amazing now than ever and that's saying something! I have been a Numanoid since 1979. His music defines my youth. Like a lot of Numanoids, I got ridiculed for loving his music, little did they know they were on the wrong side of history. Where are the one hit wonders they worshipped now? Here was a man on the edge of discovery, a modern day Mozart. He was the father of a genre. Ridiculed in his time and now finally being recognised for what he was. But does he ride those coat-tails forever? No. The chamelion changes again, taking some of what was and melding it into something new. The man is a genius ahead of his time, as had been said so often. He isn't some sad 80's act reliving past glories. He is still forging new paths, using the brilliance of what he has created. The collaboration with his daughter Persia, has been amazing to watch. He is truly a special artist, performer and human. Thank you Gary from another Gary.

I was lucky enough to see Gary Numan in concert, 1979 in Vancouver. He was the best then, and he's even better now. I love how he's changed his style and rocks out to his music, but the classic sound is still there:)
