Additional Information

This well-filled CD single contains no fewer than seven versions of Numan's classic "Cars" - the original, two remixes by Zeus B. Held that originally appeared back in 1987 and a further four new remixes by Charles Pierre and Francis Usmar of Native Soul.
As seems to be the norm these days, the reason for the appearance of the remixed single is the imminent arrival of a new compilation. "Cars" is taken from The Best Of Gary Numan 1978-1983, a double. The "'93 Sprint" mix adds quite a lot to the original track but unlike so many dance mixes, doesn't remove an equally large chunk of the original. The end result is a rather good track that's easily identifiable as a version of "Cars" (Numan's vocal survives intact) yet features a contemporary beat and is liberally splashed with various electronic bleeps and burbles. Very nicely done indeed and one of the least offensive dance remixes. 

Cars Lyrics

Cars 
(Single from 'The Pleasure Principle' album, 1979.)

Here in my car
I feel safest of all
I can lock all my doors
I't's the only way to live
In cars

Here in my car
I can only receive
I can listen to you
It keeps me stable for days
In cars

Here in my car
Where the image breaks down
Will you visit me, please
If I open my door
In cars

Here in my car
I know I've started to think
About leaving tonight
Although nothing seems right
In cars
