The Beggars Arkive BBC sessions is a UK-based limited edition subscription series featuring ten sessions recorded for John Peel. As promised, a selection of the sessions will be available individually in very limited numbers to North American customers, and so far these have included The Fall, Stereolab and Bauhaus.
This is the U.S. black vinyl version of the 1979 BBC Radio Session from TUBEWAY ARMY.
Tubeway Army was the name of Gary Numan’s band. Formed in 1977, their self-titled debut album was released at the tail end of 1978. In addition to Gary, the band consisted of Paul Gardiner on bass and backing vocals and Jess Lidyard on drums. John Peel was an early supporter of the band. This was their first Peel session, and it was recorded at Maida Vale on January 10th, 1979 and was broadcast on January 16th.
Me, I Disconnect From You
Lyrics
Me, I Disconnect From You
('Replicas' album, 1979)
The alarm rang for days
You could tell from conversations
I was waiting by the screen
I couldn't recognise my photograph
Me, I disconnect from you
I was walking up the stairs
Something moved in silence
I could feel his mind decaying
Only inches away from me
And I disconnect from you
Please don't turn me off
I don't know what I'm doing outside
Me and the telephone that never rings
If you were me what would you do?
Me, I disconnect from you
(Added regularly to live version) - I would be a falling star...
Down In The Park
(Single from 'Replicas' album, 1979)
Down in the park
Where the machmen
Meet the machines
And play 'Kill by numbers'
Down in the park
Wit a friend called 'Five'
I was in a car crash
Or was it the war
But I've never been
Quite the same
Little white lies
Like 'I was there'
Come to 'Zom Zoms'
A place to eat
Like it was built
In one day
You can watch the humans
Trying to run
Oh look
There's a rape machine
I'd go outside
If he'd look the other way
You wouldn't believe
The things they do
Down in the park
Where the chant is
'Death, death, death'
Until the sun cries morning
Down in the park
With friends of mine
We are not lovers
We are not romantics
'We are here to serve you'
A different face
But the words never change
I Nearly Married A Human (1 & 2)
('Replicas' album, 1979 - part 2 was bonus track on 12" version of 'Down In The Park')
